Hello Ariana,

Hope all is well.
I'm still here whenever you're ready.

Hello Ariana Thought isn't controlling it either. It just has a lot to say! And by attending to thoughts, I identify with their content. Is there any choice in identifying or not? Can you somehow choose to not attend to thoughts? Is there an 'I' in there that makes these choices? (look in your exper...

Ok good answers on the thoughts. So if you are not controlling your thoughts.. and not producing them.. what does that imply? What about this one from the previous post? I'll try to remember to BOLD my questions from now on) Is there a self or an entity living your life? Or are there just thoughts a...

Hi Ariana, I'm sorry you're so frustrated... I know this can be that way. In a way thats a good sign as it shows you're trying hard. And thats needed for sure. Lets go over some guidelines that might help you. Please stay away from other teachings, books, etc while this is going on. It can confuse p...

Well I'll keep on keeping on until you think I'm ready to pass through that illusive gateless gate! It seems like you don't think I'm ready yet :-) We like it when you tell us that you've seen thru the illusion. It will be undeniable and obvious to you. I know you have a good understanding of this....

Hello Ariana Yes, I do think you are answering more of your own questions, and I like that. Its not that questions won't ever come up, its the looking outside of yourself for answers that rarely works. My job is to keep pushing you to look, until you know yourself that you're doing it. I know it see...

Hi Ariana.. ok getting back into this again.. seems like a long break. Regarding the illusion of space, I looked at that also. Where am "I" in space. Again thought tries to tell me, Im in this room, I'm outdoors. I'm not quite sure where else to go with this one. I'm here/now, that's all I know. I'm...

Haha.. for some reason I havent gotten any email dings that you've responded.. and I had thought you were still on your break. Sorry about that..
I'll be back to you soon..... and do feel free to write like this whether I chirp in or not.
so until then...

Just Look.

Hello. Hope all is going well at the yoga retreat. Sounds like a good place to do some 'looking'. Lots of opportunity to see the body and how it works and reacts. Just notice what's going on. Look with fresh eyes. Somebody says something to me that I find offensive. 'Sticks and stones can break my b...

Hello Ariana, That's very good looking there.. seeing and noticing all the 'real' things in the pub and also noticing your own reactions and opinions and just allowing them to be there, yet still noticing they are not really part of what's going on, but are simply added by you. I did have a question...

Hi there. Its just fine that you write out here on your own any time you feel like it. Yes it helps me see where you're at with things. Im not going to comment on them unless something jumps up at me. You're doing well there I see in working these out for yourself. and I tell you for sure, that is w...

I'd like to run this by you before we get any further along You may have seen this on our site before. This is a list of what we've found as a group that liberation is not... Our guides have discovered that one of the major obstacles to the direct, clear seeing of what is already the case is a thick...

Hello Ariana, I really liked this: I am aware, as I wake up this morning, that however I think my life could be better, happier, wealthier, different, that even if I were waking up on the streets of Calcutta, or as rich and famous as I don't know who, I wouldn't necessarily feel better or worse than...

Hello Ariana, Thanks for the honest answers to the questions. I forgot to mention this, but it looks like you are being very real with your answers.. Good! Although we may already know in our heads what the 'correct' answers are.... they do us no good if we're feeling something else. I can't stress ...

Hello Diana,

Just checking to see if you are still with this or not.
I understand things come up, and would appreciate knowing your plans here with the guiding.

Hope all is well.

Bill
