Hello Jon "is this it"? sounds like a slight hangover, an expectation of something more dramatic, a more obvious sign or experience of "no self"? It may help to notice the present moment and to ask if there is something lacking or wrong about what's happening right now? No, there is nothing lacking ...

Hello Jon How we think or how we thought no self should feel or look is always to do with expectation and conceptualisation. Perhaps this is it's very subtlety? That it is never what was imagined. Yes, it is never what was imagined. Yes, hearsay has it that it can be back and forth at the beginning ...

Hello Jon So really I need you to tell me if there are any doubts about no self? Are there any remaining doubts that no self has been seen? . If there are any now would be a good time to mention them. No, there are no doubts about no self. Can you say with a big fat "Yes" that the illusion of self i...

Also seeing no self is just the first step, right?

Hello Jon I need some time for more looking. Is there something,some feeling of thought that lies behind this? Of course looking is very helpful for this enquiry but is there some feeling that something more must be seen, or that there's a need to keep looking or else the insight might disappear? Pl...

Hello Jon

It seems that a shift has happened. No self is seen somehow, even if it is subtle.

I need some time for more looking.

Best wishes

Hello Jon So really I need you to tell me if there are any doubts about no self? Are there any remaining doubts that no self has been seen? . If there are any now would be a good time to mention them. Can you say with a big fat "Yes" that the illusion of self is seen , beyond doubt? Seeing no self i...

Hello Jon Do you make anything happen? No. There is no „I“ who makes anything happen. Things just happen. While opening a letter maybe a thought comes up „I open this letter.“ or „My body opens this letter.“ But then it is seen that there is no „me“ doing it, and no one who owns or directs this body...

Hi Jon Thank you for your answer. Such glimpses as yours are important but there are long habits of thought or "me"- association that reassert themselves almost immediately. With thoughts come interpretations. Inevitably thoughts appear that are interpretations of what has just been directly experie...

Hello Jon I would like to add something. There seems to be some clarity about no self. During the glimpse it was like: „There is no self! Will I ever find it again and get it back?“ So no doubts about no self. Now it is more like: „Ok, whenever I look there is no self to be found. No one who is look...

Hello Jon I needed some time to sort this. Except for that glimpse, I still have „my normal, false selfe“. No. You do not. That is the whole of the matter. There is no self and no false self either. There never was and never will be a self. There is no self. I was refering to the illusion of self, t...

Hello Jon

I guess it's time for me to stop this inquiry. I am thankful for the glimpse of no-self and I thank you very much for your guidance.

All the best.

Sabine

Hi Jon Please don't be put off by what I have said. I'm here to help and to encourage you to keep investigating. Since I had this glimpse of no self so easily, I was excited to do this inquiry. Also to be guided by someone who entered the stream is fascinating. But I guess this glimpse did not come ...

Hi Jon But just as "the false self" sounds as though it might be a "thing" , "the sense of self" also sounds like a sensing entity. I know you corrected your language but I feel that there is "something" here to explore here that could be worthwhile . I meant that self almost everyone is identified ...

Hi Jon It's important to look at your experience. Certain tensions in or around "the body," energetic sensations do appear. This seems to be difficult for me. I didn't notice any tensions in my body. I have to look at this next time. Are "I" thoughts definitely not tied to the sensed "I'? I don't kn...
