Harry Potter:
Well, Adam, I assume you get to feel this sense paradise even when not in a PCE. Given that felicitous feelings is the closest a feeling being can come to PCE, could you write a bit more about how this sense paradise "feels" like?
When I am not in a PCE, there is mostly a small affective tone that causes experience to be imperfect in the way that their is an emotional twinge distracting me with some sort of small sorrow (usually because my social identity is currently holding on to dreams, ambitions, etc. that put me under a small stress).
This small twang doesn't inhibit me from searching for a paradise. For me this paradise is in the current sensations that cause some sort of pleasure or enjoyment. Like within a sensation, lets say placing a silk scarf to your cheek, within that sensation is a feeling of enjoyment, except its not a feeling but pure pleasure from the physical senses. Right now, try running your hands under cold water or resting your head on a pillow. When you do that, you feel a sensation and within the sensation there is some inherent pleasure. Now, focusing on that pleasure during sense experience, makes you live in a paradise already here, a paradise of concurrent pleasurable sensations.
In your sense field, there are many sensations occurring. Your thoughts, your feelings, your passions as well as your butt on a chair, your hand on the laptop, your feet on the floor (the actual ones). Within those actual ones are small hints of pleasure. Constantly focusing on that pleasure is the pleasure of sensuous awareness and then apperception lies in only perceiving that subtle pleasure within a sensation continuously. Wherever your pleasure is, find it, enjoy it. Its what proves that being alive is really nice and awesome. Adding a having fun dimension, makes everything that much better because your carefree (not holding onto fear or shame for actions: past, or present like not applying the af method "right") while feeling this sensuous paradise. Sometimes I forget to focus on it, other times some trigger takes me away from sensuous attention but whenever I go back to this sensuous attention, small bits, no matter how small of the pleasure/enjoyment within actual sensations, can be found. Its about constant attention to this and maximizing this pleasure and figuring out whatever is stopping you (internal turmoil) to get back this the peacefulness of pure actual sensation.
A sensation may not feel like the end all and be all of all your problems but with focus on whats already here (sensuousness) and its inherent pleasure, the internal suffering evaporates and you no longer emphasize the instincts/emotions/social identity which need "you" to feed it with its own chemicals to survive. Then, whats left, is constant attention to the actual world, which is only enjoyable except its not like some night and day change but incremental, where you slowly focus on the actual sensations while the "bad" ones become less and less.
Harry Potter:
For example, what other feelings and thoughts go on your mind other than the perception of "a soft tickle of air conditioner"?
Nothing, just the pleasure of the sensation, its freaking awesome. Sometimes, its just like this is nice, its good to be alive, but this is when you focus on, "ok, how can this earth, right now, be a paradise? How is this fun right now? Instead of trying to have fun, i suggest looking for enjoyment and fun, wherever it is, right now.
I think I know what your trying to get at with this question but its hard to explain. Like I assume, you go back and forth between glimpses of ease and "normal" life. The more you focus on the ease, the less "normal" you'll be until "normal" is radically different. Normal will include more and more ease incrementally until you can focus on "a soft tickle of air condition (the actual sensation) with very little "bad" vibe interference.
Also, just to add in, Its not all candy for me yet. everyday, i get periods, where instead of focusing on the actual, I am playing in the hands of the self and feeling an instinctual twang. Its not bad, but i am just trying to say that, things come up, sometimes stay up, and the bad is no longer a big deal and for me, its about increasing concentration to re-focus on the actual again and clear myself of any feeling and social identity, which is so much better than staying a social identity and "feeling".
p.s. I am not spell checking this lol, so I hope their won't too much error.
