When I ask "Who am I?" then "Who asked this?" I seem to fall back behind my mind, as if watching the mind from the distance. The mind beomces like a movie screen projected out from a very still place of darkness. The place of darkness seems rounded, as if a silent being abides in still meditation.

If this what one is to experience in self-enquiry?

"The warmth" of it is there before the question even starts.

The question cannot successfully "go after it". The whole world activity appears on the basis of the prior presence, hence it cannot "lead there". The aim of the enquiry is its own cessation. If the finger just rests in the air and doesn't point anywhere in particular, it "shows up".

Tricky.

Hello, Mooji, I'm not sure if you will get this but I have a few questions about self enquiry. 1. I have been self-enquiring for the past 6 months and I always have the doubt of not doing it correctly, what should I do? 2. I am confused with "I am not the body" notion, for ex. If my body is meant to do bad things i.g. murder, steal etc. when I reach self-realization, will I have no control over my body? Thank you Mooji for your time & grace.

Happy Wesak Mooji!

Not this, not that, which is the negation that youve mentioned before is to find out that the boundaries you draw up through mental concepts, through thoughts, are not real. When you realize that you are the Awareness-Self, than not this, not that is also part of you, but not with the solidity with which you know this now. --- zenji

[Moojiji]

Reaching a state and falling from it is the movement of mind. Truth is not hidden. Belief in thought, looking to thought is the cause for this apparent evasion. You cant chase awareness by looking to thoughts, which produce your experiences through belief in them. Awareness is already present, for if it werent you would lack the capacity to speak about your findings. There is no problem with experiences. (Continued)

[Moojiji]

The Self is the effortless reality that is behind all and is not touched by anything in your experience. This is what the negation not this, not that, is supposed to remind you of. Without this power we call the Self nothing else could exist. No experience is sentient. Stay as the Self. --- zenji
