Time: 58 minutes.

Situation: A quiet room with my eyes closed, sitting Burmese-style with my hands on my knees.

Experience: I closed my eyes and immediately perceived my visual field "vibrating" at about five or six times per second - maybe more. In a few seconds my awareness naturally shifted to my skin, and the vibrations sped up . Concentration was diffuse and there was some physical pain. Within a few minutes, concentration sharpened, physical discomfort was gone, and thoughts became more observable as sense-objects (along with the more usual suspects of sight, touch, taste, smell, and sound). There was a little *blip* where all sense input was gone and there was neither observer nor observation. Then "I" was back observing, a little rapturous wave or two would course through my body, then I would drop into diffuse concentration and physical pain and the cycle would repeat. This happened maybe six times or so. When things reset each time, I would make an effort to move through "ñanas 5-10" towards "ñana 11", and this seemed to happen pretty much every time in fairly short order.

Observations: Its hard for me to evaluate what's happening. After speaking with a guy on the DhO about it, it seems I'm in Review, which involves cycling through "ñanas 5-11". The phases and experiences seem to track. The unknowing-events (Fruitions) are difficult to percieve, I "notice" them more by noticing when I'm not noticing ANYTHING and where that not-noticing happens in terms of the the ñanas. The guy (Devin) I spoke to recommended hanging-out in Review for a little while before embarking on another Progress of Insight because once I start a new Progress, Fruitions from this path will cease. I think I'll post on the DhO about this - maybe see what I "should be doing" in Review, and for a how long, since I'm feeling a little lost. I'll do some outside reading too and see what I come up with.

Oh, by the way: my dreams since hitting Review have been VIVID and INTENSE. Actually, all of my existence has been that way - I feel very here, as if some set of standards, or pair of glasses or something, that I've been employing forever, is no longer in play. Its interesting and not unpleasant.
