Re: Thanks

Hi Bill Wonderful! Moving? Yes—moving. That word showed up. A thought, then a sensation. But can you find what is moving? Not the word. Not the idea. What’s actually here, in experience? Colours shifting? Sound changing? Sensations flickering? That’s it. Now— can you find what is doing the moving? L...

Re: Am I who I think I am?

Hi Dot I'm really happy to read your reply! Nothing. What I’m starting to notice is that the sense of separation between ‘me’ and ‘what I’m observing/ experiencing’ is weakened. Thought is less quick to compartmentalise experience in to ‘this, that and the other’, less quick to label. I’m also notic...

Re: Thanks

Hi Bill I see what you mean. That subtle tightening, the reflex to grasp—to know, to name, to defend, to pause inquiry under the guise of “reasonableness”—it’s not about the topic at all. It’s the mind reaching for ground. But when that ground is gone…when even “self,” “brain,” “choice,” “meaning,” ...

Re: Thanks

Hi Bill Good points, yes. Of course there's never any need to be certain about anything, you're right. Here we go with bulk answering again! Let me remind you that I am not making points (e.g. in an argument) but pointing for you where to look. Your answers give me an idea where an illusion/delusion...

Re: Am I who I think I am?

Hi Dot
Yes I would.
I would give them to you but please answer the questions before that. Let's not leave any unanswered questions ;)

Re: Thanks

Hi Bill Well, the goal is to be certain of whatever is found. And who would that certainty be for? Look closely. The goal to be certain is just the seeker in disguise, now dressed as the “ final knower ,” the one who will finally get it. But what was ever uncertain, except a thought claiming uncerta...

Re: Thanks

Hi Bill And I hope you had an enjoyable and restful vacation That’s kind of you—thank you. It was :) Yes, it’s chasing a non-existent shadow, I know that. But I also know that I’ll keep looking for it, just to be devil’s advocate. Yes—and that’s the last clever twist of it, isn’t it? The “seeker” ke...

Re: Thanks

Hi Bill To a little fellow seated right behind my eyeballs. But further investigation reveals that the “I” simply can’t be found. (No point describing the chain of thought, since you’re quite familiar with it.) Yes—brilliant. That “little fellow behind the eyeballs” is the perfect image of the phant...

Re: Thanks

Hi Bill Yes, there will be. And I need to look for what the "I" label is pointing to. Yes—trace the “I” label as it appears. Watch it, in the moment it tries to sneak in. What exactly is it pointing to? A sensation? A thought? A feeling? Something solid? Follow it all the way—until there’s nothing l...

Re: Am I who I think I am?

Hi Dot Awesome! No boundary can be found between moments. Take the breath for example incoming breath, outgoing breath, there’s no separation and no boundary that can be found in DE, just sensations arising accompanying the flow of breath. Exactly. Not a moment in time—just what’s happening, with no...

Re: A hard case?

Hi Nelson I would advise to read the whole reply as the answers/questions compliment each other...even if you have to answer in parts. I know you already know the answers but have a fresh look as awlays - seeing again and again...until the penny drops The “I” thought claiming ownership. Yes. That’s ...
