| | Yeah, I seem to be able to do it without any difficulty but I did wonder the same thing, like how it would be possible to recreate these sorts of experiences basically through imagination when, according to the Actualists, imagination is entirely affective. This is where it gets a bit more difficult to describe 'cause what's required isn't really imagination, at least not in the sense it's used normally, but the ability to fabricate sensory experience. I don't really know how to describe it well enough yet 'cause I'm still getting used to it and getting to grips with the basics, but it's more about intent and malleability of mind as far as I can see so far.
When the heat arose, as I mentioned in my practice thread, yesterday there was no requirement whatsoever to believe it was warm. It was simply a tactile sensation of heat occurring 'within' the body, the same sort of way you'd normally experience heat but with a different quality to it that I find hard to describe; I know it's being fabricated but there's just something about it I can't put my finger on yet. |
