The question is does this "I really should do it now" always brings action? Observe this. How often is there the idea to need pushing, like "When I don't tell myself at least ten times what I have to do nothing will get done." Is there any connection between the appearing thought and the action don...

Been out of action with sinusitis - explains why I was so grumpy earlier in the week! But for now: Try to stop understanding for a day! Whenever the stream of information hits in, let it stream, right now focus on what one could call the Flow of happening... Share what you find. To be honest, there'...

Good observation. What about seeing or tasting? The same. And this reminded me of something about thoughts you said early on - how do you know they are yours? Like sound, sight etc. how can I actually know that they originate inside my head? I can't, not really. Not in direct experience only. We ar...

Tried again today. I think my feeling poorly and grumpy and frustrated is getting in the way. Maybe all will become clearer again soon - right now I feel like I have 0% clarity! Ok, so this is what I've got... Go out into nature and spend some time watching the movement of the whole. See how clouds ...

You go camping and a list is written of what to pack. You plan a birthday party, lists are written what to buy for what recipes or what else isn't at home. You plan your life path, with 20 you marry, with 22 the first kid, with 30 you finish college. Which of these has the best chance of being an i...

Would any control be needed, any planning? Wouldn't it just happen sort of naturally? Helpful ideas coming, the stopping of harm what ever way, the choosing of paths happening? What if all the attempts of controlling might interfere with the natural developement? I sense what you mean. But somethin...

Hi Jadzia, Right. And still the me isn't lost, is it? Not if was never there. And the doing and the being is still there. And sometimes the sense of a me is still there. no controller of life no 'I' making choices and being responsible Nope. How does this feel? At times it feels freeing, like a weig...

In the moment is there any proof of what is in thought? Can any of it be known or is it just one assumption and another? How habitual are these thoughts? Anything new? In the moment there is no proof. Thought's about the past / patterns require memory, classification of behaviours etc. Thought's ab...

And then the story starts and even better you notice, yeah! I think I'm gradually noticing more. And the resistance thing doesn't seem so powerful. Now be on the look out for stories which suposedly start in the past. All these "...and it/he/she/I was always like that", or "This should have never h...

Physical sensations aren't all the same and yes, the first way we can label them is pleasant unpleasant. But even aside from the labels 'pleasant' or 'unpleasant' they 'feel' this way too )though it's a spectrum, not simply one or the other). It still feels like there is some positive or negative v...

What happens if a like is fullfilled, what happens if a dislike happens? What is found in DE? Physical sensations called wellbeing, happiness, joy or tightness, unhappyness, sadness, frustration. All labels. The words are labels, but the physical sensations themselves are not, and the different one...

Hi Jadzia, I hope you are well, and looking forward to the weekend. Lets have a look at if a belief in self is needed for dislike and like. In each thought of like or dislike is either directly an I or a hidden I. Have a look. Ok, finding this a bit tricky. So far... Dislike and like - I think these...

Lets have a look at if a belief in self is needed for dislike and like.
In each thought of like or dislike is either directly an I or a hidden I.
Have a look.

Still looking... Want to spend a bit more time, so more tomorrow :-)

Just lets be finicky about this one: In DE is simply seeing, nothing else. The so called other possibility is just thoughts content, story telling. Ah yes, I fell for it yet again. Still likes and dislikes are there. Does that mean that there would be dislike and like without the idea of self? When...
