Eric G:
One possibility, in the overfitting of maps/progress of insight category, is that the experience you had was A&P, and now you've moved up to equanimity (able to sit long periods). You would need to get stream entry and start a new cycle to get a solid chance at that joyful territory again.
Hello, Eric,
Your post reminded me of what E. Tolle said when asked what did he enjoy doing and he said when he is not required to be somewhere he most enjoys sitting and just being. How elegant is that?!
Even though he still has an egoic mind -- he seems able to let it stream by without being recruited into its thoughts.
