Hello Mariano

Perfectly fine for you to work with this as you see best.

I was about to suggest some check point questions but these can wait until you're back if you wish.

Emotional repression work is so important. That is another aspect to freedom that cannot be ignored. There are a number of ...

Take your time Mariano

I'm here when you're ready

Hello Mariano


the "effortless" method?
Good. No identification with thought leads to effortlessness


To these two following questions you say "just a thought". (note there is a slight change to the wording from yesterday's questions in the questions below) And to make sure that I am absolutely ...

because "no one is in control!"

So .....is it still true that there is no one controlling anything?



And in that seeing, are you saying that there is no separate entity called a "me" to control anything?

Alan.

trying to internalize this gave me a mini but benign panic attack because "no one is in control!"
Glad the panic attack was "mini and benign" !!
Is that still true when you look? How does that feel now?




Anything else to report with seeing "no one is in control!"?





but also, I guess ...

Good. Keep at this Mariano.

it seems however, that it works like some kind of a door. sometimes it's opened and sometimes it's closed.
That is perfectly normal. And it something that could be called a conclusion that the mind offers.

Just continue to be curious without expectation of any ...

That's great Mariano

I'll look forward to your posts

Hey Mariano

So good to hear !

And thank you for your update in such detail.

A couple of suggestions come to mind however what really comes is to encourage you to continue to follow your inner guidance and just be really curious without expectation of any final ultimate conclusion.

I will be on ...

Hello Adam

Are you still with us Adam?

With love

Alan

Thank you Adam

but it's still just as easy to get caught up in it.

The important thing is not that you're still getting caught but to realise that you're getting caught and then to see ........
what is it that gets caught?




And what tells you that you got caught?





With love


Alan

As I read this, I realised how much I've been in mind and how in the describing of my experience to you, thoughts about this were not acknowledged as thought and would hijack the seeing pretty often.
This is par for the course Adam. Realizing just how thought hijacks our attention is wonderful ...

I can't find a boundary between inside and outside
Good.

subtle sensations that cause frustration. There has been a lot of frustration in the last few days.
Feel into this frustration Adam.
If you don't label this as frustration how would you describe this sensation that you refer to as ...

Hello Adam

Let's start with you last message.

It's very subtle, but I can't look "inside" anymore
Ah by what you report this sounds very much an aspect of this that we call non-duality. The truth is that there is actually no "inside" and "outside" "Inside" and "outside" are actually constructs ...

Good work Adam


Now we'll slow this investigating experiencing right down.

To do this simply watch thoughts as you look at the cup.
As you start to watch thoughts and wait for the first thought to arise what happened?



Did you actually choose which thought arose first or did a thought just ...

Hello Nicholas

I had written the above post before I saw your last post.

I hear you Nicholas. Just be gentle and patient and simply trust your intuition and experience.

I'm here for you when you're ready

With much love.
