Very well written overview of kasina practice. Maybe it's just me, but the language used in this little guide just completely resonates with me and describes my own experience.
Keep in mind that some things mentioned in the guide are conditional; as in "some people will experience this particular phenomena, while someone else might not". E.g. while almost everything in the guide speaks to me, this little passage doesn't:
At some point the meditator may find that the retinal image is so strongly infused by such attention that it will start to “overlap” with the direct visual perception of the physical image. Occasionally the practitioner may find that what used to be the white background area surrounding the object acquires a light tone corresponding to the colour of the main (kasina) object.
... and I know that keeping in mind that this was meant for someone else who experiences this, and not for me, keeps me from getting confused about the practice.
Happy blizzing!
