p20:
Surrender (in)to unconsciousness; surrender to/as effortless, spontaneous consciousness/awareness. In this, you're not /trying/ to be UNconscious, but neither are you resisting unconsciousness, and neither are you trying to be conscious, awake, etc. This is not by fiat; this is only when safe; gently explore or fall into ways to make it safe, which might paradoxically involve finding non-effortful ways to be both more alert and more relaxed, at the same time, sometimes, and sometimes not. It's ok to fall asleep; you don't have to explore this while falling asleep; again it's ok if you do fall asleep. You might especially explore this when you're both sleepy and awake at the same time, etc., etc. Under/within the context of this main practice, it's ok to experimentally and exploritorily indirect facilitate various things, help things out, slip towards path of least resistence, unwinding, p2-style and p16-style, etc.
Scratch experimental pith notes:
- paradoxical narrow consciousness in """reduced""" consciousness states
- As delayered, unwrapped, etc., sense re sensations just as they are.
- Something something intrinsic valence of fully delayered sensations.
- That which is intrinsically neither good nor bad.
- That which is not intrinsically meaningful.
- Sense in which completely at the mercy of uncertain this.
- Sense in which already lost, long ago. Sense in which will always have already lost.
- [At least one ]Sense in which nothing changes, before and after; no difference.
- Will still have 99.9999% of the problems currently have, and perhaps more, etc.
