Re: Getting past the fear

Hi Tom Crystal clear. This is the clean seeing that doesn’t need reinforcement or approval—it’s just undeniable . The image in the mirror seems to have less ‘me’ in it… Yes. Because “me” was never in the image. It was always just a memory, habit, narration—all superimposed . Now the edges fray and t...

Re: I would like to be guided by Poppyseed :)

Hi Reby
Perfect! Don’t rush it.
This silence isn’t absence—it’s the deepest part of the fire doing its work without effort.

I’ll be right here when you return. No pressure.

Love
Rali

Re: I would like to be guided by Poppyseed :)

Hey Reby, Just checking in. I know the fear was sitting heavy last time we spoke—the tension, the contraction, that inner “no.” I want to remind you: that fear is not a sign you’ve gone off track. It is the track. You’re exactly where you need to be. No pressure to respond right away—just an open in...

Re: Getting past the fear

Hi Tom This is exactly it. Every expectation, every model, every concept—burned, seen through, dropped. The unnoticed expectation that this would be more linear… That’s the ghost of the seeker. “Mastery.” “Steps.” “Progress.” But this isn’t skill-building. It’s erosion—of belief, control, identity. ...

Re: Getting past the fear

Hi Tom I hope you had more time to play with walking and open eyes experience (aka the world) :) What you are describing is raw clarity. You’re not regurgitating spiritual insights. You’re standing in the actual terrain—muddy, shifting, thought-laced, direct. And I’ll say this right away: The experi...

Re: Getting past the fear

Hi Tom Wonderful!! This is clean. This is seeing. Not poetic, not abstract—just direct contact, stripped of myth, stripped of metaphysics. So what about this: A consistent experience over the past several days has been witnessing (yes, a mind label) the truth of what is (no doer, thoughts are just t...

Re: I would like to be guided by Poppyseed :)

Hey Reby Thank you for trusting me with this! You just spoke it. This is the gate. Not bliss. Not clarity. Not peace. This trembling. This contraction. This “NO.” The final reflex of a self that already doesn’t exist, panicking at being seen through. Let’s be absolutely clear: I feel like if I conti...

Re: I would like to be guided by Poppyseed :)

Hi Reby Thank you for your honesty and for communicating what you're experiencing. It's completely understandable to feel a "rejection" or "block" when delving into this work, and many people experience similar resistance. The feeling that "doing it so could harm me" is a very natural protective mec...

Re: Getting past the fear

Hi Tom Before we continue may I please ask you to use the quote function – it saves a lot of time of figuring out what is what. I would greatly appreciate it.

Re: Getting past the fear

Hi Tom Wonderful looking!! Regarding the apple, no it cannot be known through direct looking. Their are sensations that can be described and grouped by thought as having "apple-ness", but to say one is experiencing an apple is a thought product. Yes, “apple” is a thought/label that points to sensati...
