Re: Tired of being a Don Quixote fighting windmills

Hi, Sorry for not being in touch. I’m afraid I am struggling with focusing on the exercise. For the past few days I just keep being distracted (or hit morelike) by the realisation that there is no ‘I controlling anything’. I’m still stunned and in a state of wonder (wow) by this realisation. I know ...

Re: Tired of being a Don Quixote fighting windmills

Many thanks I did do the exercise earlier but when it came to expressing my experience of it, I just started getting frustrated and anxious again (definitely a pattern here) so I stopped and just looked at the emotions and thoughts unfolding. I felt no interest in their content so nothing came to ob...

Re: Tired of being a Don Quixote fighting windmills

Hi, Sorry for the 2 messages in a row, I’m on a roll ;-) Here are the answers to your remaining questions: That’s on one level anyway, the bigger picture. Which level? Can you find any levels in actual experience? Only one level: experience. Is an „I“ which is able to „actively keep on looking“, or ...

Re: Tired of being a Don Quixote fighting windmills

After some more looking directly at the resistance... The „I“ was never really there, and to see that it is an illusion changes nothing in life except the perspective..(o.k. It becomes a little bit more relaxing with time) To go through the gate means to see, that there never was a gate.. :) What th...

Re: Tired of being a Don Quixote fighting windmills

Feeling stuck with answering your questions directly challenging the ‘i’ belief. A part of me wants to spend more time looking into it because it has seen glimpses and has acquired some compelling evidence of its lack of reality; but another part of me wants to resist further enquiry, taking a ‘i wi...

Re: Tired of being a Don Quixote fighting windmills

“Unfortunately with the ‘i’ belief it’s different: unless I actively keep on looking the illusion of ‘i’ will creep up over and over again as soon as I am not looking and I will go back into my default self-identification in a flash... :-( Is there an „I“ which is able to „actively keep on looking“...

Re: Tired of being a Don Quixote fighting windmills

I’m back! Had a fruitful last couple of days so here are my answers to your questions. (Hope you are well.) How does discouragement feel, if you don't listen to thoughts. Where in the body can you find it? What happens, if you look directly at „discouragement“? And try to look behind... :) It is mai...

Re: Tired of being a Don Quixote fighting windmills

Ok, I am back on track- thanks a lot for your patience. I have had a really relaxing experience on my meditation cushion just now - repeating softly to myself ‘look’ and after a while I noticed that my body was feeling nearly ethereal and thoughts were light and flowy. I will report back answering s...

Re: Tired of being a Don Quixote fighting windmills

Thank you very much for your words of encouragement. The thing is that i am not sure i am doing the LOOKING properly - are there any instructions you could give me on how to look at a feeling and how to look behind it? Every time i try to look, and i think i am looking (and seeing) then straight awa...

Re: Tired of being a Don Quixote fighting windmills

Thanks but I’m afraid I am feeling very overwhelmed by the number of questions i am being asked to answer at one time. And quite discouraged. But I’m not quite ready to quit. Surely the process is not supposed to be that hard?! There is obviously something I am not doing right but I don’t know what ...

Re: Tired of being a Don Quixote fighting windmills

Tightness in the chest and in the throat And , if you reduce this feelings to the raw sensations of direct experience? What would you call them? Next time when (strong) emotion(s) comes up, try to look behind it, and tell me what you found... Roar-like feeling physically and a blast of thoughts, lo...
