Sounds plausible, was there any sense of a "me" existing in any way other than as the senses themselves?
It's hard to say, I remember thinking about the phrase "In the seeing just the seen, in the hearing just the heard" and that this state must be what that phrase is talking about. Now that I'm out I'm wondering if maybe this wasn't a full PCE (an EE?) or was just something else entirely. Maybe a few more details would help.
In many ways "as the senses themselves" described my experience pretty well, as does what I've read about apperception. However, I noticed I was still able to focus in on certain parts of my experience and tune others out - eg. focus on what I was hearing. When I did this, it was as if I was experiencing the sounds directly, without distinction between subject/object. So in this sense, I would say there wasn't a "me." That said, from what Daniel has said on PCE, it seems that the attention wave (still not 100% clear what this is) disappears and you no longer can tune in or out certain parts of your experience. This definitely wasn't the case for me. It seemed like I was aware that everything I experience is part of one big field of sensory data (even stuff like my sense of "I") and I could sort of zone into one part of that sense field and experience it directly. So is a PCE when you do this but with the entire field? If so, what was this, an EE? Or could it be related to my insight practice? (I think I may have recently hit equanimity, so it may just be new territory.)
Still, there were definite differences to my everyday mode of experience (that I'm in right now) - a big one being that there was no mental chatter. In fact, it was very difficult for me to talk mentally, and typing was more difficult. I think this was because I was fairly locked in to the present moment, it was very hard to think about anything in the past or present.
Anyway, your thoughts are appreciated. Hopefully I'm not over-thinking this... I just want to get back to that state of being.
