Trying it briefly, I like it. It seems to do good things. It got to a point where it felt like there was no distinction between pieces of my body and the environment. kind of like it was totally transparent. seems like a good direction! and the tensions really stuck out like a sore thumb.
Excellent! That's what happens for me too, when I notice that there's no longer any weight being given to any one part of the experience then it gets really interesting. Much as "I" am thinned out to the point of
almost vanishing, that process of overlaying becomes really clear. I'm thinking that jhana beforehand could make it easier to see the arising and passing of it before seeing it go for the last time...only more practice will tell.
I would emphasize your point #5 more. There is a vast difference between not knowing where you are (ignorant) vs. being mindful of where you are (internal representation fully aligned), but also a vast difference between having this internal representation be well-aligned and being naive to where you are (not being anywhere in particular). There is only so much 'I' can do - being fully aligned is basically it. Naivete is vital at this point, cause 'I' cannot take that final step. It's just.. impossible. I guess causality simply doesn't work that way
You're right, I didn't emphasize it as it's not something I've really had to work at lately but you're spot on to point this out. Being naivetè means that "I" don't know what it's like to not exist and so "I" don't fear it, eventually playfully wandering off into oblivion!
Thanks for testing this out, I really appreciate your input on this and hope you get some more use out of it too!
