Re: Only this

Hi again Kathy,

Habits are as habits are. As for the story about the you it refers to, does that exist?

What is this imagined you?

Re: Glimpses of non-separation

So, looking at it in terms of "is it continuous" inherently implies what? What is it that could stay in touch with something all the time? Does such a thing/self exist?

Is the insight that Santa Claus is fiction alive for you all the time during the day? And assuming it is not, does it mean the ...

Re: Sage

Hi Sage, I am back.

Okay, lets continue, deeper:

Whenever there is doubt or a sense of self or confusion look: what is creating that?

Is there a self that is creating that or it is just happening, habit?

Continue to look. If there is an experience "I know it is just habits without self, but it ...

Re: Seeking guidance in direct seeing and dissolving the selfing mechanism

Mila, I'm back!

How are things? Sounds from the description like it is seen that there is no separate self, no me doing thoughts, actions, feelings, choices and so forth. Is it true?


the witness is happening here now - mind wants to say it is the stillness the space the in between things

Re: Only this

Kathy hi! I have been on retreat, just returned. Sounds to me like it would help to return to be in touch with me daily. As often as possible both during other activity, and sitting down quietly without distraction particularly for that, look:

Whatever is going on, is there a self that makes it, is ...

Re: Glimpses of non-separation

Hello Ditti,

I'm back :) This sounds very clear. Whould you say it is experientially clear that there is no separate self in control? Are you ready to get the "final LU questions" that check the clarity of the insight? Or do you feel something is missing, if yes, what?

Re: Sage

Hi Sage,

Yeah sometimes we use a "thorn" (like actively ignoring) to "remove"/reveal another "thorn" (the thoughts we are lost in without noticing it).

And good noticing that no one is controlling the thoughts. Can you see that even the "active" thoughts like internally saying "ignore ignore ...

Re: Seeking guidance in direct seeing and dissolving the selfing mechanism

Jesus and Avelokiteshvara touch this heart too. Did you take a look at the exercises I shared with you? Did they reveal something new? Or it has bot been in the flow yet?

Re: Could Elad be my guide?

Dear Amy,

There other guides looked and had no further questions, meaning you have "graduated LU" 🙃

It's been a real joy to do this process with you. You are always welcome to write again on this thread if questions come up, or to write my email eladexplore1111@gmail.com. Also welcome to ask, if ...
