Hello Nic Glad to hear you love the book! I am sure I have been more productive - as life flows through instead of a big effort. Like the man in the book - I am no longer looking for self help books etc I am also far more relaxed , not striving and planning constantly (leaving life flows through ins...

Hello Nic As you know, I’ll be traveling tomorrow, then offline until 1 December. I’m not sure how much time I’ll have to write tomorrow, so I wanted to send you a meditation and recommend a book for the next three weeks. Sit comfortably with a soft gaze facing a bare wall, or with eyes closed if th...

Hello Nic Am I ? (Oh I hope so - thank you so much). I wonder if it will ever sink in then realise that’s a thought 😩 Did you have to keep doing it? I wouldn’t say you were doing well if you weren’t! Most people have to keep doing it repeatedly for a while. That was certainly true of me. I was doing...

Hello Nic You're dong great! One generally has to do this exercise over and over again until it sinks in. Keep going! When you find that a sensation feels 'like me', can you find a 'feeler' or 'experiencer' separate from the sensation? When you find yourself identifying with a thought, can you find ...

Thanks for contacting me! If that ever happens again (aside from when I've let you know I'll be away), feel free to reach out earlier. I really thought I had sent that message and was thinking I should check in on you.

Love
Liam

Hello Nic I'm so sorry! I thought I sent this message on the night of 30 October, but I found this draft in my user panel, so I must not have sent it. I was going to reach out to you. What is triggered? Couldn’t come up with an answer for this only - the sensations that arise when ‘I’ am… The exerci...

Hello Nic Sorry it took me longer than I'd hoped to get back to you. No need to worry about making more work for me! This process takes as long as it takes, and I feel an empathic joy in reading your responses. What was a bit more challenging was the uncomfortable things like Boss messaged me Though...

Hello Nic! I got back last night and have a bit of a backlog of things to deal with. Your responses look great, and I'd like to have a bit more time to respond in detail. I love your dream imagery. It occurred to me that you might be interested in "The Headless Way." It's another way of seeing no se...

Hello Nic No boundary in DE. Right! My thoughts were mainly all about ‘me’ - even things like ‘I hope she’s okay’ about my daughter as this would point to ne being worried etc. Good observation. I noticed again that when I zoned in on my thoughts they behaved differently. I remember you saying earli...

Hi Nic No - cannot find ears in DE. Only sounds... Cannot find my head in DE. Right! The sounds seem as though they are outside of my head. Conventionally, we can distinguish between sounds "outside our head" and, say, "inner voices," often the voices of people we remember or imagine hearing in thou...

I found it hard to not see thoughts as from my head, so have practised ‘looking’ at them and realise you can’t really locate them ! Slippery things. Right! You can’t locate them. Okay so I get thoughts are ‘somewhere’. Different to sounds which are heard in DE. Isn’t that the function of the ears? ...

Hello Nic As you noted it seems that [thoughts] follow some some sort of order - but actually they don’t. They are very random. I have practised doing a ‘logical order’ of thought and it can do the initial part but then jump onto something completely different! Makes me wonder how we give so much va...

Hello Nic Sorry I didn’t give feedback. So am able to ‘see’ the gap between thoughts - however have to remember to do so. It is good as it reminds me to look at my thoughts which are running away by themselves being generally negative! So it makes me more aware of my thoughts - and the bits in betwe...

Hello Nic

Ok, thanks for letting me know. Go ahead and continue watching thoughts arise and pass and observing the gap between thoughts. As mentioned, this an important exercise because it will help you learn how to look when searching for a ‘separate self’.

Let me know how it goes.

Love
Liam

Hello Nic Hope you’re enjoying your time in Greece! I realise how negative but ‘silently almost’ my thoughts are running away in the background reminding me constantly to be worried, things go wrong etc - However, when I face them they don’t hold up to much. In fact they start being silly and say si...
