Hello Rali

Thank you for so very much.

Hello Rali

Nothing needs to become permanent. That expectation is the last hook. Liberating to know, but how useful would it be to see ten percent of one's thoughts as just thoughts?
Even when thoughts are believed, does a self actually appear?
Or is it still thought + sensation labelled as ...

Hello Rali

Is there someone resisting or just resistance appearing (sensations plus old thought patterns)? I can see thoughts as just appearing at times, but sadly it's not my default perception.
I got a message from the Liberation Unleashed team informing me of various zoom options that I guess ...

Hello Rali

I'm not feeling well enough to answer any questions today. I don't know if I'll feel like answering questions another day or not.

Hello Rali

Even if the thought “I am a body” appears 100 times, does it ever create a self? If that thought is accompanied by a sense of certainty then I'll be sucked in to the alternate universe where I'm a body with all of the follow-up thoughts and feelings that entails. I experienced that ...

Hello Rali

1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever? Like Luke Skywalker, it has a place in the imagination, but not outside of that and it never did.

2) Explain in detail what the illusion of separate self is, when it starts and ...

Hello Rali

Is enjoyment something you are doing? Or just another appearance - sensation + conditioned label? Enjoyment shows up when it does and so does the label.
Is there anything at all that needs to be different? Nothing needs to be different, but I don't think you'll be shocked to hear that ...

Hello Rali

But why should I tell you when you can look for yourself?? To make sure I was seeing what was real. The wording you used made me suppose you were implying some essence that DE wasn't seeing and I was amiss about that.
What you you refer to as “aliveness”, what is actually there ...

Hello Rali

Even when the thought “I am a body” appears…, does it ever do anything more than appear and pass? Or does it actually create a self? That thought appears and passes without creating a self.
Where is past? Where is future?
Anything other than thoughts appearing now? It's true, past and ...

Hello Rali

Even when those thoughts appear, do they change anything? Do they bring a self into existence? Or are they just thoughts Thoughts don't bring a self into existence.
Even this… A thought appears “I get this” or “I might lose this”. Look carefully! Is there someone who got it? No.
What ...

Hello Rali

Does “certainty” prove anything is real?
Or is it just a sensation and thought. Certainty does not prove anything is real.
Pain appears. Aversion may appear as a sensation (tightening, pulling away) and thought “this shouldn’t be happening”. Is there someone doing the aversion? Or ...

Hello Rali

So what gets called “belief” is simply a thought appearing with a sense of certainty, not being immediately contradicted by another thought Sense of certainty that can attach to an opposing thought as a result of looking at the original thought or a related thought?
If the label ...

Hello Rali

My looking isn't going well today, so remind me how you explain what other people call believing one thought and disbelieving another. On a possibly related note, why do some thoughts feel good and others bad?

Hello Rali

Direct or Actual Experience is:

Seeing
Hearing
Feeling (not emotion - emotion is sensation plus thoughts/labels)
Tasting
Smelling
Thoughts Arising (but not their content, what the thought is ABOUT)
This quote from your April 4th post is what I have referenced in the last two posts of ...

Hello Rali

Does “known” require a knower? Or is “known” just another way of saying thought appears?? When the thought appears the thought is all there is.
Now, go back and forth between thoughts and the sound.
Does the sound appear in a different place to thoughts?
Can you find an actual line ...
