Re: fear, rumination and desire seem to be preventing liberation
Hi Jon, Nice looking! the mechanisms of my ego seem to be very adaptable It is wonderful that you can see this. Let's look how this work :) Look here: My feeling is that perhaps I require a more intensive period of self-inquiry and meditation to really break through these thought patterns. The progr...

Re: coffeelover liberation
Hi Thurston, Something doing things. Even if it isn't a "Me". I do still get lulled in to feeling/believing like a person. We are looking that "I" in the way we believe doesn't exist but not that I do not exist. Invitation is to notice: - imagination imagine person, Thorsten separate from the rest -...

Re: coffeelover liberation
Good morning :) Nice • I feel a little confused. Then everything feels imagined. Almost like I don't see just thoughts as imagined but everything is imagined. This body, this world, everything. It is a strange feeling that comes when I say "Thurston is imagined" and I look as my life as imagined. Th...

Re: fear, rumination and desire seem to be preventing liberation
Hi Jon. Each time I looked into this, the impulse came first and the thought came after. For example, when I had an itch, the hand moved to scratch it first, and the thoughts that "I'm feeling itchy" came after. I also found that sometimes the thought was not related to the action. Lovely! And can i...

Re: coffeelover liberation
Wow, wonderful!
Exactly, Thurston is an imagination.
Your imagination. This is your doll, imagined doll.
Notice this radio in the head, this is you imagining doll.
You advice him, punish him...:)
What is coming when you see this?
Sending much love,
Luchana

Re: coffeelover liberation
Hi dear Thurston, But, when viewing through the persona then I'm not in touch with this enjoyment when focused on a problem. Yes, exactly - viewing through the persona! Notice "I am persona, I am Thorsten" feel this energy. Notice that you are imagination which is imagining that you are Thorsten? Si...

Re: fear, rumination and desire seem to be preventing liberation
Hi Jon. It does not seem so. There is no way to say anything about the thought in the absence of another thought following it. But if that is the case, is it even possible to know anything? It seems that thoughts are conveying knowledge somehow but the mechanism by which they do so is either hidden ...

Re: Looking for nothingness
Hi Peter. Yes, send some final questions, that would be nice! Great! Here are the questions, spend as much time as it needed with each one, no rush. Reply from experience of how things are seen the last few days. 1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or ...

Re: Looking for nothingness
Hi Peter, There is no control over anything. It might feel like it is but when looking it is seen that there is no control. Life is happening. This is something I realized about a year ago and sometimes it helps me to relax and sometimes it is just another memory. But every time I look I see that th...

Re: fear, rumination and desire seem to be preventing liberation
Hi Jon,
Look closely
Does a thought know something else about another thought?
Sending much love,
Luchana
:-)So maybe I can say that the thought is experiencing itself?

Re: coffeelover liberation
Hi dear Thurston, Yes sure, here is a short and very helpful video how to use "quote" function: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCbZYSvnTpc I read your reply.

Re: coffeelover liberation
Hi dear Thurston,
Ohh. Nice looking.
What is coming when you say:
"There is no personality here, there is no one controlling and living life, character Thurston is pure imagination" ?
Sending much love,
Luchana

Re: Hi - Happy to be here now :)
Hi Megan, For example I have the desire to exercise and the thought pattern and associated feelings may be, I “need” to exercise as I “want/ need” to be fit and healthy as I age. There is an aspect here of wanting to do something for future benefit but its associated with a “grasping” (desire + gras...

Re: coffeelover liberation
Hi dear Thurston, They seem to come in from the back of the head somewhere. • Sometimes appear in the middle of the head Notice the idea that there is something called body which has colour, form, sensation, thoughts :) What is coming when you say this a few times: "The thoughts are not real.
