About to say something crazy - You Ready??
If you watch today’s video in full and implement what I teach, I can confidently say that:
1: Thoughts will NEVER have the same pull over you ever again.
2: Your understanding of Self Inquiry will become 10x deeper.
Bold claim? Perhaps..
But that is how confident I am in today’s video in its ability to wake you up and that’s how excited I am to share it with you, hence I’m hyping it up much more than usual. Haha :)
Not going to give away anything more about it. Watch it above.
Best wishes,

[@jadatoady]

So, to clarify- the water bottle is the thought. We typically focus on it and get pulled into following it. Self-enquiry is seeing the bottle (thought) but not focusing on IT. But, instead we ask where is this thought coming from within, just being the observer of the thought, not following it? I am in deep pain from the grief of losing my fiancee. I really want to be able to do this self-enquiry but my brain feels fried most of the time. Now I'm asking who is grieving, where is the grief coming from, who is noticing the grief? What confuses me is if it is my soul observing, why am I in such pain? My soul knows life goes on and it's only his physical presence I'm grieving for in my human form. My soul knows we've walked many lifetimes together & will again. But still I grieve with such anguish....

[@cps_Zen_Run]

@@jadatoady , I am sorry for your loss; your loss is real. As is your grief and sadness. It is your body reacting to the stress. Acknowledge it, accept it. Allow time for your mind and emotions to stabilize. Take your time. All the experiences you shared are within you, incorporated into the new you. Find moments of Gratitude and thankfulness that they were here at all. May you stay healthy and safe.

[@selfinquiryschool]

@@jadatoady Much love to you during this difficult time! To your question regarding self inquiry, not exactly. What you are inquiring into is what is it that is aware of the thought? What knows it? When launching such an inquiry, don't go looking with your thoughts, look with your attention to what the question points you to. If this is sort of confusing right now, let it be and relax. For the pain and grief I would actually ask you to practice this: kzbin.info/aero/PLmYcmWw9kgC_s9ZxWhcfIdwX2dA_7d41t

Hi Sunny. I didn't think the presenation was "silly" in any way. Another cogent presentation! Thank you so very much. You're helping persons practice clear discernment and establish themselves "knowingly" in our True Self.

[@vpd2121]

It looks easy but when practising its difficult. But it's necessary to practice it, because that's when we will slowly realise what our true self is. Our true self which is separete from our mind and body; The awareness.

[@H1tman13]

The ego/mind tries to survive based on attaching a meaning to what is seen and can use the human senses to feed this. The mind wants to understand and build a story based on past judgement. This is the conditioning that created seperation consciousness. That is also why words can also attach a meaning based on ones prior perception. Acceptance of what is for what it is, as felt with an inner knowing without judgement and allowance maintains presence and oneness. The need not to understand but to know all just is, unity consciousness, aka observing all from a space of love and knowing that all is beloved. "The highest form of intelligence is to observe without judgement" Jiddu Krishnamurti Namaste.

[@ramanhealth4924]

This is, hands down, one of my favourite Sunny videos because it made me laugh, and WOW did it ever explain the concept of 'I am not my thoughts.' I have been practicing being aware of my thoughts and creating the space. You are right, in the beginning it's very difficult to always be the watcher. The thoughts come with such emotion, you feel them in your body, so it's hard to not realize they are not you. Over time it becomes easier and you feel the peace that you essentially are. Thank you for being so real and a little silly- You nailed it with the water bottle visual!

[@SJ-sb5ro]

I just found you 3 days ago and I'm so thankful I did. I've been dealing with obtrusive, horrific thoughts and was afraid of manifesting it in the 3d. Your technique worked instantly for me and for the last 3 days I'm free of those thoughts and I'm not afraid of any new ones coming in. It really does dissolve instantly! It's amazing. Thank you!!!! You've changed my life!!!

I was wondering why my thought always grab my attention so easily even knowing firmly I am not thoughts, where they start arising... Then I came across this video and I do self inquiry Every time each seeing a thought, whenever being awaked in the middle of night or driving..... I feel so much lighter....

[@tlrobbins1]

This was a brilliant way to explain this concept of "I am not the thought. I am the thinker of the thought. But I am not the thought!" And how smart of you to use something that, if looked through will magnify the thought or emotion!! Thank you so much!! Teri

[@selfinquiryschool]

I'm happy it helped but please watch again to clarify. You are not the thinker of the thought either. The sense of being a thinker is also observed, it comes and goes. I am neither the thought or the thinker

Just what I needed to hear today. I was identifying the thoughts as me today. For whom do these thoughts arise? Me, who am I? I am awareness. Therefore I am not the thoughts... Much luv

[@ManifestationMastery]

It would probably be helpful for people to do a detailed video on how to go beyond thinking of themselves as the thinker of the thought as that can seem more difficult to observe and realize than just knowing how to observe thoughts. Great video 💕

[@cps_Zen_Run]

Thoughts that don’t trigger an emotional response easily pass by. One challenge is to not allow the Ego to place a hook into the flashing emotional ones. The Ego loves storytelling and attention.

[@selfinquiryschool]

Only because you're deeply interested in some thoughts over others. They are given personal significance. Seeing thoughts as described in this video gradually dissolves that interest as well, allowing you to see all as it is

[@Vdh934]

Hi, sunny how do we know that we are observing or watching the thought or we are involving in to unconsciously identifying with it, I practice non resistance simply accept what is there as it is and observe it.. and my anxiety is nill but still I am bothered with that particular thing how to not bothered with that particular thing and become free

I completely understand what you are saying but what about when you are meditating and you see yourself through positive imagery, are these my subject thoughts? Are these thoughts or is this just awareness expressing?

After we are proficient in this we can actively choose the thoughts we want to and see the world through those filters when we want to, hence choose the good thoughts . Suffering becomes optional

How to diminish mental chatter during self inquiry. Ramana would add to this one item of mental chatter, perceptions, sensations, concepts, thinking, I.e. The World both inner and outer must be disengaged from in a 180 degree turn towards the “ snake” the “I” thought. . Through careful with nquiry, the snake is revealed to actually be the rope, The I thought is traced to its source in the heart, the Self

[@linhngo7398]

Wow

[@garethjames3494]

Hey Sunny, thanks so much for this! A question: is this process sustainable? Surely not identifying with, and choosing to give everyday thoughts that arise, 'distance' is likely to be met with equal resistance from our minds? To the point where there is a cascade of thoughts: witnessing, then consequent resisting thoughts, then more witnessing... Do you work like this during the day, or has this process become 'automatic' over time? Thank you for your teachings!

[@selfinquiryschool]

I would advise not to make assumptions or future projections. Don't entertain questions like these. They ARE an aspect of the mental resistance you are referring to in your comment. Simply practice to the best of your ability the pointers which resonate with you and see for yourself! :)
