Ian And:
How might one be able to determine just when these might occur in order to "hook up" so to speak, considering these attainments are usually ONE TIME EVENTS? They occur once, and then there's only the memory of them. Poof! They happen, and then they're gone.
Hi Ian,
This isn't so. I can call up a fruition/cessation moment whenever I want or wait for the end of a cycle from the the 11th nana then a frution occurs and then back down to the 4th nana and up again and repeat. Calling up a frution independant of a cycle became easier to do after 2nd path though. I think you are associating the path moments with the one time events. They are one time events that shift a yogi to the next path in the 4 path model of awakening. They only happen once. I like to call them "special fruitions" as they always stand out compared to the normal every day ones that occur at the end of an insight cycle. They result in significant permanent perception shifts and ways of experiencing reality. And when I talk of them as experiences, i am talking about the entrance and exit of the cessation of all the senses, not the cessation moment itself, as that is a non-experience. No memory of it.
Kind regards,
Nick
