Hi Warissem. will I be added to the Facebook Forum group? I’d like to train with Johnathan to be a guide, he and I had talked about that.

Thanks,
Julian

Thank you!

Hi Warissem,
Thank you very much.
1. Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
No, there is no separate self. There never was; there was a convincing illusion that there was, but only a daydream made of conditioned “I” thoughts. A ...

Hi Warissem,
I apologize for the delay, I sent you a message about needing to take care of a few things and getting back to you in 2 days, but I’m now seeing that it never sent.

I’m ready for the final questions,
Thank you,
Julian

Thanks Warissem

Upon looking, the “I” seems empty, as if the statement came from nowhere and is totally meaningless.
Like reading “I want food” painted on the wall.

I'd like to keep going. Can you please give me the next pointer?
Thanks, Julian

Hi Warissem I'd love to expose the "I" some more

This is what I've been thinking about recently:

In spirituality, they say "You are not the voice in the head [the thought based separate self]. You are the one who observes the voice."

But doesn't this imply a "one" who observes the ego?
And wouldn ...

Thanks Warissem,

I have seen that the voice of the ego talks by itself. It speaks in the 1st person, and it is heard, but there is no controlling it. Any thought I’ve ever had about myself, anything I’ve ever said, have happened by themselves without “me” having any control. I have laughed a good ...

Hi Warissem,

In listening, smelling, touching, seeing, I kept “looking” inward to find some kind of point of awareness, but would find nothing, and return rest on the outward “what is seen”. The content of what is seen, touched, heard, smelled, is reality; all there is. The hear-er is just a ...

Perfect. Great reply, Warissem.

In look looking for the seer, I found only the vision, what could be seen. Any sense of answer would just be a thought.

Then I started to look for a “do-er” and became anxious. I think this is the next step.

Thanks Warissem

With the body, I closed my eyes and felt an expansive sensation, more like mist than a solid form. No Boundaries. Then I looked at my body and it seemed to be a completely different thing, I didn't feel the 2 were connected.

Is there any connection between the felt sensations ...

Thanks Warissem, great questions.

Are you a thinker of thoughts ? Were you even ? Will you ever be a thinker ?

No, thoughts happen to you.

What about "having attention" : how does this work ?

"Attention is just an empty concept. And if there was a "thing" called attention, it would imply a ...

Thank you Warissen for your guiding, I really appreciate it. This process is wonderful.

Where are they coming from and going to?
Nowhere! They come and go from nothing.

Did you do anything to make a particular thought or thoughts appear?
No. A random thought just comes, then an "I" thought ...

I should preface this by saying that I already have seen no self. It came from reading Gateless Gatecrashers and from many other experiences. I am trying to deepen rootedness in no self, as well train to be a guide.

That said, I have never gone through the entire guide process nor answered the 6 ...

Great Warissem,
Let's begin!
