Tadeo's primary language is Spanish. His English is limited but he would like to try a guided conversation in English and see how it goes. He answered the questions in Spanish; here is a translation from Google translate.
LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
By this I understand that there is neither an owner nor a maker of actions, thoughts, emotions and sensations that my body and mind experience. That is, there is no "I" separate from me, located in the body and in the mind, and acting autonomously.
What are you looking for at LU?
I can understand intellectually that there is no real "me", but I need help to really see and feel it. Although I am making some progress in it and I think I am taking the first steps in the right direction.
What do you expect from a guided conversation?
I expect a guide that will lead me, with her help and my effort, to live the understanding of the absence of an "I" inherent to my being . I hope a guide will ask me the right questions, which I either dare not ask myself or have not occurred to me.
What is your experience in terms of spiritual practices, seeking and inquiry?
Yoga, Zen and, above all, meditation on my essential being as Ramana Maharshi taught and as Rupert Spira does: "Who It's me?"
I've started reading the interviews from your Gateless Gatecrashers post, which are helping me a lot.
