In Q3 Solstice say "There is some relief, some indifference" I'd be really interested to hear a little more about the relief and also the indifference if you could ask please?
Relief that all the worrisome thoughts that used to plague the day were easily seen to be just thoughts and not get ...

Re: Seeking more than an intellectual understanding
Is there any doubt left, if there is a separate self? Weather yes or no, please write more about it.
There is the occasional doubt thought “I still have more to figure out” “I haven’t seen what these others have” “I still have thoughts so I can’t have seen through self”
These are all just ...

Re: Seeking more than an intellectual understanding
Sorry have had a bit of trouble connecting to the site recently so hopefully this posts properly
1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form?
Was there ever?
No there is not, there is only direct experience and thoughts. There was never an I only ...

Re: Seeking more than an intellectual understanding
Is it still just an intellectual understanding?
It seems to be more now. Although it also may have always been more and it was just being overlooked? In a way nothing has changed.
I still have thoughts but they are less (at least for now) and more easily seen as thoughts, and so the same amount ...

Re: Seeking more than an intellectual understanding
There's no doer, this includes doing thinking.
As we have seen there's no control over thoughts.
You had no say in being born or which school you first went to. When did you make your first decision?
This makes sense. Would it be fair to say a decision was made at some point to believe in a self ...

Re: Seeking more than an intellectual understanding
By using the word distance, I was trying to indicate how thoughts and everything else (DE, physical actions, etc) are separated or unrelated. There's a metaphorical gap.
It's easier to see when the thoughts isn't related to the action - like when you're typing a response to this message and a ...

Re: Seeking more than an intellectual understanding
Is there any distance between thoughts (all of the above) and what's actually going on?
A bit confused by what you mean by distance.
Do you mean like a gap in time between the doing and the thoughts about the doing?
Or do you mean a physical feeling of distance?
If the first it depends on the ...

Re: Seeking more than an intellectual understanding
What about the times the action doesn't stop, how do the thoughts try get around
They are either conveniently quiet, trying to influence the action in some way (guessing at the future, ie guessing the next sentence as this is typed), describing what is happening from a first person perspective, or ...

Re: Seeking more than an intellectual understanding
Yes exactlyDo you mean literally stops?
Like if eating dinner is happening and you look for the doer, then eating stops happening.
correct, although the thoughts try to say the stopping indicates they are the doer lolI'm assuming a doer is not being found.

Re: Seeking more than an intellectual understanding
Could be, but is there any distance between anything?
Just another illusion
Watch experiencing during everyday activities. What is it that drives the car? What puts food in the mouth? What is it that reads these words, types replies? Is there a 'something' doing these...or do they simply happen ...

Re: Seeking more than an intellectual understanding
So what's the difference between the biggest and smallest experience?
Hmmm I want to say time, but when I have been completely in the moment, experiences seem to be timeless (in that long times can pass quickly and vice versa). So I am not really sure, is time just the distance between experience ...
