Hi Nelson Really good! I guess I will never know. But I believe it is relevant, in the same sense that I believe it’s relevant to take care of my back, even though it’s never in DE, except as sensations and an occasional image in the mirror. Sorry for insisting on this point, I am just being honest ...

Hi Shafigh Whether there’s another reality or not is not important to me. Even if there is, we can’t access it. Yes, you can it’s called DE :) There has always been thought about experience. I’ve never experienced anything without thoughts. What are you that "has never experienced anything without t...

Hi Gaige
Is it still happening?

Hi Nelson I believe that may or my not exist things outside of conscious experience. So, who knows what is happening there. Is there unconscious experience? How is it known (or is it assumed)? If there isn’t why is the “conscious” label relevant? You state it correctly – it is a belief. Where exactl...

Hi Shafigh I can see you are going into nihilism which happens. Which is still a story… There is a resistance to staying with uncomfortable sensations which is now playing out as nihilism. It’s way better to be hopeless with no control and depressed with no meaning than to sit quietly and kindly wit...

Hi Nelson Wonderful looking! Can you see anything that is separate from the thought and does the thinking? In DE, no. Where else would you see it? Thought exists as a thought, so it is not true or false. But thought content sometimes are accurate, sometimes not. At best, thought content is an approx...

Hi Gaige I want to point out that we agreed on a certain tempo of conversation and it’s not happening. When we started this exploration, one of the guidelines I posted to you was about posting everyday or every second day and to drop me a note if you needed more time with the exercises or emergencie...

Hi Shafigh I’m sorry that you feel that way! Doesn’t "everything" include thoughts, aversion, desire, pain, suffering, confusion, and even the feeling of getting lost in thoughts? It includes me wanting things to be different, not wanting to feel them, trying to change them, or doing nothing. I feel...

Hey Maks

Safe flight!

Hi Gaige

Are you still serious about this inquiry, it's been 5 days since your last reply...

Hi Nelson My reply didn't post for some reaso so here it is again... Hi Nelson I guess cause and effect (flow) exist in reality, but for anything to happen, there are an infinite number of causes. Our models of cause and effect are gross simplifications. As Carl Sagan said, 'If you wish to make an a...

Hi Marina I can see that these are just thoughts that are seen. Do I then just ignore this and put attention to what is actually there? YES! That’s what LU is about. Thought content is not DE – the presence of thought is, but not its content. I’ll give you an example to illustrate this. If I describ...

Hi Marina I appreciate you sticking around and your honesty when dealing with stubborn beliefs! There is still a desire to identify as a something. Calling this awareness and "not I" or Marina....changes nothing. There is still a someone /something that is seeking and that life is happening to/suffe...

Hi Shafigh It gives me so much joy to read your reply! Lately, I’ve been focusing on feeling emotions and getting to the underlying sensations without labeling them. Sometimes I forget, sometimes I remember but it feels overwhelming, and other times I’m able to stay with the sensation and rest in it...

Hi Nelson There is no proof. It is just a theory (thoughts) about what is happening, and, in fact, nowadays there are many different theories trying to explain existence, such as classical physics, quantum theory, or even 'spiritual ones.' Rupert Spira, for example, proposes that there is only aware...
