9/26/11 2:33 PM: definitely Dark Night
You seem to be noticing stuff with every sit you make. Got to keep noticing more and more things. You're noticing them well enough to make progress in the nyanas, even if you feel like you aren't noticing them well. You might like to re-read those MCTB chapters. What might also help is to do noting practice - was helpful for me pre-stream entry.
Pulling back on the intensity might help, but make sure the noticing is persistent. A large dose of equanimity (the factor) will also probably make the dark night a lot easier and more speedy, and lead to Equanimity (the nyana) more easily. Maybe, when feeling really bad, try the phrase: "None of this is happening _to_ me", and take that approach, just observing things disinterestedly. Or read this
felicity & dark night thread.
