Hi Hursh,

Good to hear from you and thanks for the update.

Do you want to continue the investigation? (and/or get admitted into the LU post-gate groups and forums?)

Cheers

Mark

That's fine, Jill: take your time. Don't worry about writing the 'correct answer', just spontaneously and authentically.

Cheers

Hi Jill Here are our summing-up questions. Please take your time with them and just answer them spontaneously, honestly and as fully as you can, from your present experience (i.e. practice rather than theory):- 1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or fo...

Skype Conversation (typed):- [23/07/2016, 15:58:35] Mark: ok where would you like to start? do you have any response to what I wrote earlier in LU? [23/07/2016, 15:59:49] Jilda: have to read it again.. hold on. [23/07/2016, 16:00:55] Jilda: I agree on both paragraphs. [23/07/2016, 16:01:13] Mark: So...

HI Jill Thanks for those responses. I was going to initially say, too be pain-free and to not be stuck at home but then the thought came, who controls that?, no one, so everything is as it should be. I don’t have like it. Who’s not liking it? No one. Great! I would just like to refer you back to the...

Hi Jill Thanks for your response. So yes, there are doubts about seeing through the illusion of self though there is no “me”.. haha, that's the funniest thing I have read all day! Since then after experiencing all the pain, dealing with the hospital, doctors, etc., it has been a very “me” experience...

Ok Jill,

Mend that body soon, and I look forward to hearing from you when you are ready.

Cheers

Mark

Ok Jill

So, 2 more questions now to follow on from the 7 I sent you before:-

8. Is there doubt or unclarity that in all these cases the ‘self’ is nothing other than a mental fabrication?

9. Are there any doubts about seeing through the illusion of separate self?

Cheers

Mark

Hi Jill I agree, I guess there was an expectation that once you see through the illusion of a self, you can’t unsee it. Good that you noticed this expectation. I wonder if you can identify where it came from (eg some book, some teacher?), and any sensations associated with it? How could seeing ever ...

HI Jill Thanks for that. Now that I’m not 100% sure of. As I said earlier in the thread, I have had times where I can’t find a “me” at all and there is no separation in anything. But I then at other times I feel a distinct separation. I don’t understand if I’ve seen that there is no “me” why doesn’t...

HI Jill. Some great looking and noticing there! Looks like a stumbling block might just have been busted? Look for another day at a few more examples, and see if the same thing holds. Can you notice how, when something emotional or slightly threatening happens, there is a tendency for the body to ti...

HI Jill Thanks for those responses. 5. Can "the body" be found to be any more than label for sensations (namely tactile & kinesthetic)? This is could be rephrased as 'can a real 'me' be found in the bodily sensations (such as touch and interior sensations)?' 1. Have you been able to find, a ‘self’ t...

Ok Jill

Looking forward to your answers on those.

Cheers

Mark

Hi Jill Thanks for your response. The (e) that I got was tightness in my chest and feeling of dread (putting a label on it)(e & t). I tried to accept and embrace it but it becomes exacerbated and I had to stop. What am I doing wrong? Waiting for your response in what to do. Is anything wrong with th...

Yes, that's fine Jill
