Was an influential Star-Fox designer trying to meditate their way through the dark night at the time they designed this? Dunno man, you decide...and is this depicting a vipassana approach, or more of a "non-dual" one where you "see awareness for what it is;" like the "mirror technique" kenneth promotes?

ive never seen this technique before

looks like a bit of Mahasati moving meditation mixed with wrathful Ape diety visualization
also appears to be in immaterial Jhana as his body has disappeared. alot of action also going on in his rook chakra

Haha...oh shi-, wrathful ape diety visualization! Tell me you aren't experimenting with such things!?

The platform below the face reminds me of what it feels like to turn awareness on itself (kenneth's mirror technique?)

When I do it, attention seems to rest on a vague sheet under my experience, like the platform under the face, which then "does itself" for as long as I can keep it up. Kind of like what Wilber describes as the Witness, although I don't have to wait for it to shift into what he calls One Taste (non-duality proper) because that aspect of experience seems permanently "fixed" through experiencing 4th path.

I agree the whole picture has an arupa jhana feel to it!

..theres just no stopping the dark night..
