Time: 45 minutes.
Situation: A
quiet room with my eyes closed, sitting in a chair with my hands on
my knees.
Experience: I
closed my eyes and awareness
settled on touch-sense. Touch-sensations flickered in and out of
existence at a rate of about six times a second. Concentration was high . . . but there was also some anxiety. I
reminded myself to look for the Three
Characteristics. Mind-objects such as thoughts, feelings, and urges were sensations to be observed. I fell into story and when I popped out,
the flickering of sensations had increased in speed to about ten times per second. Concentration and Equanimity were high. Anxiety was gone. Data from three or four sense-doors presented simultaneously in each moment. Proprioception was "off" in a way I've come to associate with the immaterial and pure land jhanas operating in the background. Awareness inclined towards the space between "flickers" of object-organ awareness. The process of assigning "selfness" to objects was apparent. Concentration flagged. The session ended.
Observations: N/A.
