This is the dialogue between Christiane and myself, taken from the Facebook group – with all spelling mistakes and forgotten words.
Desire and Ill Will / Fourth & Fifth Fetter
Exploration of desire, aversion, and reactivity – seeing what drives reactions and how they cease.
After Desire and Aversion: When Old Wounds Appear
After desire and aversion fall away, it can seem as if reactions still happen. But what arises now are not new fetters – they are old wounds, surfacing to be felt and healed.
When Desire and Aversion Are Investigated – and the Self Is Still Active
When the mind jumps and focus seems impossible, it can look like something’s wrong. But often it just shows that the self hasn’t been fully seen through – and is still trying to protect itself.
Feeling feelings – how does that actually work?
Excursus: Feeling feelings: In the inquiry into fetters we often work with body sensations. But what exactly are body sensations and how can we feel them?
No connection
Things happening in the world and feelings arising, but there is no connection, no next step, they are not supposed to “lead somewhere”, they are just there.
