Just sitting and being aware seems to be the only thing I need/want to do at the moment.

I'm not even sure what it is I'm trying to achieve. Almost seems like I'd need to make up a problem in order to take some form of action.

Of course I have problems that I could view as something to work on or do something about but that game is getting tiring. Seems much nicer just to watch everything pass through me.

Another occurance this morning that felt like somewhat of a breakthrough. I've done self inquiry quite a few times before but today seemed to be the first time I actually isolated and felt the sense of I. Previously I've excluded thought, body, concepts etc from the sense of I but for some reason included all my senses and perceptions when looking for "I". Today I went beyond that and just stayed with the presence itself, before sight, hearing, thought and everything else.

I feel like another piece of a puzzle has fallen into place and the road to where i need to get to seems a little straighter now. I can kind of see why you keep telling me to forget all the other stuff. I'm not going to solve anything with my mind because there's nothing to be solved. Just a shift that needs to occur.

Question... Is there value in continuing with self inquiry after this point? Is constantly going back to and resting in being/emptiness/whatever what's required for me to make the shift from living as a little me to living and knowing myself as just an empty presence?
