Describe This?
After succesfully guiding someone through a Direct Pointing process and the illusion of separation has been seen through, we often ask people a simple question; “How would you describe this to someone who has never heard of this?”.
The answers that are given to this simple question are often powerful pointers in themselves, because they are coming from a very fresh and intense seeing.
“How would you describe this to someone who has never heard of this?”
- There are thoughts and there are contents of thoughts…
- Please, stop taking yourself so seriously…
- What would life be like without the burden of trying to control and change life…
- The illusion of separate self is thinking you own all of your thoughts, feelings…
- It’s a realisation of the obvious.
- The false belief is the belief in a separate “me”.
- The mystery of the universe is felt and cherished…
- There is only the ‘idea’, ‘thought’ that you exist…
- There is something truer, lighter, more authentic…
- Let go ALL the beliefs, the Gurus/ Masters, books read or seminars followed…
- There is no ‘you’ back there making it all happen.
- I honestly don’t know how I could explain the truth…
- Even if it sounds strange, it’s possible and very liberating.
- There are really no words for this…
- Where is this self one is so sure is there?
- So you are miserable and want to know why…
- There is no ‘I’ or ‘me’ except as labels…
- There is so much pain in identifying as a separate self…
- What is real?
- Have you noticed there seems to be something more here…?
- If you’re interested you can do this.
- You are nothing that can be perceived or experienced.
- It feels like I have woken up within a dream.
- That simple!
- …we can see that we were wrong all along.
- There really is no “liberation” as such.
- Hey buddy, wanna ”unbite the apple” and reclaim paradise?
- The root of suffering…
- You are literally imagining yourself.
- …and then they have to look for themselves.
- You and your experience are one. Not two.
- Seeing this is so simple…
- Would you like to go inside and see for yourself?
- There is no real entity called I.
- …you have to see outside of the way you have always been seeing.
- …it has to be experienced to be valid.
- What you are is nameless.
- I came to see that what I thought I was, was truly just a thought!
- …like taking a step back and watch thoughts and feelings without being involved in them.
- LOOK! Tell me what you see right now, without analysis.
- The owner is an illusion.
- In the seen will be merely what is seen…
- Actually everything is happening now out of nothing.
- You are not who you think you are.
- All the concepts you use in language everyday and take for granted are seen in a new light.
- There’s just life and the movement of life.
- What evidence do you have that you exist as a separate being?
- Get lost in the light of clarity
- What transcends all change?
- There is such quiet joy and deep peace in this.
- The way back is reunion.
- There is no room, no necessity, no possibility for the existence of a personal essence.
- No self is just “this,” here and now with no me in between…
- Do you like lollipops?
- Thoughts don’t have an I in them and emotions are just felt.
- Nothing is separate. Everything is joined.
- How weird and wonderful!
- You are the hypothesis that does not hold up to direct observation.
- See if you can actually find a central entity…
- Start pulling at the threads.
- There’s a lie right at the center of life.
- There is no Santa, and there is no you.
- You need an open mind, courage and a strong desire for truth…
- With no ‘I’, no ‘me’ there is instead space, which is called FREEDOM.
- It’s just happening.
- The mind is playing a great trick…
- Let’s get Real!
- When the seeing happens, clarity starts.
- After it has been clearly seen — everything makes much more sense.
- There never was an entity, person or thing called ‘me’
