Any changes in how you experience other people? If people are (conventionally speaking) not treating you the way you like the most, any change in the experience of that? Maybe look for one day and see what happens.

I did happen to notice the other day In a situation where I would usually be ...

I presented the answers to the other guides to see if we have missed anything and they had a couple of questions with respect to your answers:
Everything is dependent on everything else
- is that direct experience or a story? If direct experience, please share how so? Do cause and effect exist ...

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
There can't be anything separate, period, including and especially the "self" Everything is dependent on everything else. The "self" is an idea, a belief. It isn't a solid, separate thing ...

Hi Rali,
I can try to answer the final questions if you like. Seems like when I get bogged down in the sense of self, upon examination I quickly see it is a story happening and nothing there to hold on to there anymore. Even the sense of "waiting" for something seems like just more story now and ...

Is there “a being” or just “being”?
Just Being.

As Being
Can anything be trapped in a story ...

So much to process. Look once! Wish it were that simple, I mean for "the me."

Are there really separate senses without thought content? Where is the border that separates hearing from seeing, or from tasting…?[/quote]
Also, no discrete borders for anything really.

So what makes seeing separate ...

Good! How is everything only sensation, though? Is there no seeing, hearing, etc., or do you mean experiencing? Do you see how the meaning of words is not absolute, but relative to conditioning?
Yes, all these words are slippery and relative to context. Seeing, hearing,touching,tasting all are ...

So far today---eating -touching,tasting,smelling
drinking-touching,tasting,smelling
According to the rules of direct experience, everything is only sensation....but thoughts are attaching to everything as well.

How exactly are you getting tired of thoughts? Describe what is happening in DE, please ...

Is there a sad Peter, though? Is there really letting go of anything? Is Peter doing the letting go? Or letting go happens in thoughts as the futility of trying to “understand” all of THIS is seen? Do you see how the story is layered on top of normal everyday experience?
Yes, I can see that no ...

No experiencer, just experience happening, a story unfolding for noone.
How does that make you feel?
Well honestly there is a lot of melancholy happening. Feels like letting go of the only sense of reality that has been. But also letting go into the flow of endless change which is inevitable ...

What I am pointing to or what you are seeing/not seeing? Well is it true or not? Is there a seeing of an entity?
So far no "entity" has been seen. Seems to be empty where the entity is supposed to reside, the "mind" or being, or even the spirit, all are just concepts, constructs. to help thoughts ...

You had a state before that was considered awakening? What happened after that then, if it was the “real deal”? What can possibly be more real than life (not the story of life)? State, according to the dictionary, is “a condition or mode of being as with regards to circumstances”. So how can a ...

Do you think that there is a special sensation just for “awakening”? Or is it just that the “understanding” is associated with a sensation that is present at the time?
If there is no me, or self, there can be no special sensation. BUT.....and I hate to put it like this still, In the story, the ...

Is there really a “perceiving” and “identifying” in DE? Or just thinking?
Yes, I see, it can only really be thinking happening, and thoughts about a story of identifying.

It would just be more thoughts describing what can't see outside of thoughts. More empty useless words trying to understand ...
