Thank you J.P!

What do you mean by "It's so simple when you look... maybe too simple"?

I mean that life gets much simpler when you see this... too simple for the mind that craves complexity, problems and solutions. When you know how to look, it is simple to return here, in this resting space ...

Dear J.P. ,

Here my final answers. I took some time to explore and enjoy sitting with them.


1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?

ANSWER:

No, there is not. There has never been.


2) Explain in detail what the illusion of ...

SorryJ.P I have been very busy, I will send the full answer in the next days!
I want to enjoy the exploration without rushing

Yes I am ready! I am very grateful for your help J.P

The illusion of an I has been seen through, but the mechanism of operating as if there was an I is still in place. I guess it is predictable since this "operating system" has a lot of momentum. There are changes already happening though and maybe this realization will integrate more with time...

Can you make this clearer? I understand It can be difficult to convey in writing, but I find it difficult to follow as written.
It will also help your understanding to be more precise.

I was trying to say that, differently from previous expectations, getting lost in thoughts still happens very ...

So, is there an "I" , or separate self ?

No there isn't! No separate I anywhere

It is a subtle realization though, different from the expectations. Mind identification still goes on most of the time but if I stop and look I see that no one is identifying, it is all happening by itself. And no ...

Tell me more about this, what does it look/feel like , what's different?

I am more relaxed and calm. As I mentioned I am quite busy in these weeks because of a deadline for work which made me feel quite anxious. It is the first time I do this kind of project by myself and I don't have anyone ...

Good morning J.P,

it seems that this thinking process that is happening is orchestrated by someone that is pondering different aspects, discarding some ideas and validating others .In light of your investigation, can the above statement be true?

No, it can't be true! It happens by itself without ...

Now look to see if I there is an "I" choosing to act. Is someone eating or is eating happening ? Is someone walking or is walking happening?

I have a packet of biscuits in front of me. There can be a desire to eat a biscuit maybe followed by a thought but the desire and the thought can be ...

Is there a thinking process being orchestrated, or is there just thinking happening ?

Looking closer I guess I can say thinking is happening without my control.

I was carrying this question with me earlier when I went for a walk. I could see how the inner chatter was automatic. Any random ...

Are these sensations different from other sensations that may originate from other parts of the body?
Well, no... they are just noticed more frequently. But they appear as any other bodily sensation that is present in my experience

Without the thought that labels them, or claims to recognise ...

When I look in the five senses I don't find direct evidence of a separate individual. There there are some sensations - a little contraction in the chest and some tension behind the eyes- that may feel like me because they are almost ever-present, as if they were constant attributes of a point of ...

Hello J.P,

Thank you for your response and your availability to work with me! You may call me Vittoria.

1. Ok, clear.

2. My dedication is sincere. Being immersed into identity based thoughts feels more and more exhausting and painful.

3. Reading the second document you sent me I can see some ...
