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 and sight-sense. Sensations presented from both sense-doors (sight and touch) simultaneously, and flickered in and
out of
existence at a rate of about eight times per second.
Concentration was moderate and and equanimity was high. I
reminded myself what the Three
Characteristics are and let go of "doing" the meditation. Thoughts were observable as
objects. I fell into a story. When I popped out, concentration and
equanimity were high. The flickering of sensations had increased to maybe twelve times per second. The arbitrary assignment of
"self-hood" to sense-objects was very clear and a little irritating. Sensations arose and passed on their own without any help from me. The flickering increased even more. I wasn't "doing" anything, the sensations simply arose and passed. This session flew by.
Observations: N/A.
