Good contemplation questions

[Cammy]

Hi all! A rather simple request.

Could you share some questions that you ask yourselves after a session of meditation?

What would there be, if there was no me?

@m0hsen Yes! I like it!

@Cammy What is the most important question I should be asking right now? 

It's funny because the answer to that question is that question. But seriously, it never fails, so give it a shot!

The answer is yes, that's your nature when you let go of the thoughts. It is like those bad thoughts are like ice, and as you let go of the thoughts they become like vapor more and more.

No don't try to have any answers for these, or come to a quick conclusions! these questions and smiliar ones are good to deeply contemplate and eventually come to a realization, and maybe aid you remove your identification with thoughts and emotions! worked for me last year by self-enquiry!

Where's the boundary between my inner world (thoughts, emotions, etc) and the outer world (perceptions, physical objects)?

@nistake this is good.

I had major shifts when I tried to experience the boundary between sight and hearing or hearing and touching.

I would add a following exercise:

Look at something that is obvious to you, like your hand. It is obvious that your hand is your hand. Now look at something else, like a glass ow water. Obvious, right?

What is this obviousness?
