Hi Rali-I hope your travels went well. My responses below:

So check directly! Is there a noticer and experience?
Or just experience and thoughts about it?
Take your time here. This “noticer”— what is it exactly? Can you find it anywhere?
Not as an idea - something actual.
Or is there only seeing ...

Hi Rali! My responses below:

Look carefully. Is there ever anything experienced that is not known at all?
Or is it rather that something is present, but there is no thought commenting on it? Ah... this distinction landed. I see what you mean. Something can be peripherally known but not commented ...

Hi Rali - My apologies. I didn't receive a notification via email that you posted a response. I was actually logging on to see if YOU were okay because I hadn't heard from you. I forgot that I need to check daily because the email notification doesn't always work. But yes, I'm well and hope you are ...

Hi Rali - Apologies for the delay in responding. It was an unusually busy weekend.

That feeling of effort, what is it, exactly? A sensation? A thought saying “I’m doing this”? Yes, it’s a sensation, though I can’t really describe it. And a sort-of thought on top of this saying “you must do ...

Hi Rali - Apologies for the delayed response!

Do you move it, or does it moves by itself? Hold focus on breath - see how it moves to thoughts, sensations, feelings, sounds. Is this something you control?
What moves attention? Can anything be found that moves attention, or does attention/focus move ...

Hi Rali -

When a thought appears, is seeing still happening? Is hearing still happening? Is sensation still happening?
Check, don’t think. Do thoughts actually block anything?
Or are they just more appearances, happening alongside everything else? Yes, hearing and seeing and sensation still ...

Hi Rali - Thank you! My responses below:

Do thoughts actually cover anything? Or are they just more appearances?
Even when thoughts are “loud”, is there still seeing, still hearing, still sensation?
Has anything actually been covered? Or is there experience happening plus thoughts claiming “this ...

Hi Rali! Much to digest in your response.

Who would sustain it?
What would sustain what? I think I see your point here. When I look to see who would sustain it, I come to the realization that according to DE, there is nothing buy senses and thoughts. So who would sustain it, exactly? My thoughts ...

Hi Rali!

Is it anything more than a sensation plus a thought labelling it “awareness”?
Does the sensation itself say “I am awareness”? Or is that another thought added on top? Holy cow it really just is a label I'm putting on the sum of my sensory experience! When I look, I find nothing except ...

Hi Rali - My responses below.

What is this “feels like me behind it”? A subtle sensation? A thought saying “this is me”?
Break it down… Is there an actual “behind” found anywhere? Keep on looking until it’s seen for sure! Can you point to it in direct experience?
Or is “behind” just an idea, a ...

Hi Rali -

Did you create it? Did you know what it would be before it appeared?
Now look closer… Can you find the exact moment where “you” starts thinking it? Or does the thought just… show up? The thoughts just showed up when I read your question. I didn't actively choose them. And I also can't ...

Hi Rali! Just letting you know that I read your post and will respond tomorrow. I’m traveling today and won’t be able to take as much time as I’d like to respond. Talk soon!

Hi Rali! I don't know if it's the result of all this inquiry, but in the past couple of days, I have felt weirdly happy. I've been having fun switching my attention from one sense to the next and seeing things as though for the first time. I am, as always, grateful for your patient and loving ...

Hi Rali - Wow, a lot to look at today! :)

Is there anything to maintain?
Or is there just seeing, hearing, sensation, thought appearing?
Is the seeing effortful?
Or is the effort just another sensation + thought appearing?
Does seeing require effort? Or does it happen automatically? How exactly ...

Hi Rali - I think yes, I may have expectations creeping into my looking, despite my best efforts. Apologies in advance since I think the quote button is malfunctioning. I've tried to highlight your words in a different color so it's clear when it's me.

Look carefully at that. What is “not enough ...
