You know you are in the right dharma place when the replys are "oh that's nice, now get back to work, don't get side tracked".

Did you go in with the intent to see things?
I usually prep my sits during the day or as I am walking home like "right, when I get home I'm gonna sit, do some shamatha, hit access concentration, look at mind and body, then climb up the jhanas as far as I can go", and the sit tends to go to plan more often than not. This time I went in going I want to 'see' what else is in there and I saw this.
Other times I will read about a state and then try to experience that. I not sure if this is the way to go, could I miss out on something that should naturally occur specific to my experience.
(I have more questions, don't know if I should post them in other threads.)
