Hi Becca!
Thanks for your questions!

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?
A BIG NO to this question! It is obvious that not only is there no ‘separate self’ now, but there never was one!

2) Explain in detail what the ...

Hi Becca! Happy Earth Day!

“Mysterious and wondrous come up, but these are just more words/labels trying to describe JUST WHAT IS.”
Yes D! How does it FEEL to see what is?
To FEEL what IS, as it IS…is so…well, just ordinary, no fireworks going off or shouting from rooftops. BUT at the same time ...

Hi Becca,
Thank you, these were really powerful pointers!

Yes, I can see the doubt trying to creep in with thoughts of “this isn’t it, this isn’t enough, what will you do if the seeking is over?”
Can you see it not as your thought, not as true, not as guidance, but as a reflex? A muscle memory ...

Hi Becca,

"There doesn’t seem to be a knower when actually looked for"
Is that doubt—or is that still the habit of searching for one?
Yes, I can see the doubt trying to creep in with thoughts of “this isn’t it, this isn’t enough, what will you do if the seeking is over?”

Drop the hedging. Look ...

Hi Becca,
“If something is felt, it’s already not you.”

The “you” here is the fictional center, the felt-sense of being a subject apart from what’s happening. If something is felt—whether it’s a physical sensation or an emotional wave—it’s already an object. It’s being known, noticed, experienced ...

Hi Becca,
Before a complete reply of each question, I just wanted you to clarify these statements:

If something is felt, it’s already not you.
What do you mean by the "you" here?
If there is a feeling that identifies with a thought, that is the separate self appearing and claiming it, right ...

Hi Becca,

“Yes, in the moment before, there is a catching or recognition right before a story is created, only a few seconds of nothing.”
This is gold. This gap before story… It will stretch with practice. Throughout your waking day, try to observe the gap between thoughts as often as possible. It ...

Hi Becca!
Sorry it's been a few days...but lots of pondering happening over here....:)

Go right to the moment before the story of a mind “doing something.”

-Yes, in the moment before, there is a catching or recognition right before a story is created, only a few seconds of nothing.

Was there ...

Hi Becca,
So the separate self is nowhere to be found when directly looked for? Very nice. Keep checking… over and over, as if you were searching your fridge for something you had been certain was in there.

Nice...I like that fridge analogy! Can I ask though, who would be choosing to do the ...

There is no separate self, there never was, there never will be*

After each time you read or say it, notice what happens, feelings, sensations, thoughts, movements... And write here what is noticed.

Hi Becca,
When I said this out loud I noticed at first my body tensing up and feeling some sort ...

Hello Becca!

I SO appreciate you reaching out...because I am definitely ready already for some inquiry!

Thanks for your presence,
:)

LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
There are moments of seeing there is 'no-self' and understand this mentally, but have not been able to see-through this yet. I understand when I actually look for the separate self, there isn't a ...
