- In the ways in which it’s good to do so, and you can (are able to) do so, and not in the ways in which it’s bad to do so, temporarily will, intend. incline (lightly, minimally) that everything you’re experiencing in awareness/aware of, globally/totally/wholly/unifiedly remains stable/stably just as it is without changing in any particular moment, and don’t stabilize what would be bad to stabilize or that you can’t stabilize. (So of course, it’s likely that things will be changing. So, for any change, in that moment, in any particular moment, [for what’s good to and you can and it's not bad to] you want that state to stably persist. So, whatever is, you’re willing that that stably persists [for what’s good to and can and not bad to]. The effect will be to have some things slow down or become more salient/apparent. Also on assumption that everything you are is cycling through consciousness/awareness, so that this will ultimately be exhaustive...) ["In the exact way you’re having exactly these sensations(??+knowing/understanding/meaning/thinking/believing/feeling/imagining/expecting/sensing/perceiving...??)/total experiential state, total/everything in awareness/aware of, totally/globally/unifiedly in this exact instant/moment, exactly as they currently are in this exact instant/moment [no brighter, no dimmer, no more vivid, no less vivid, no changes in foreground/background/salience/focus/surround/ground, no following/seeking/avoiding/preference/agenda, commentary, meta-commentary unless it’s already exactly happening/expectation/inclination/presupposition], in the ways in which you can and it’s good to do so, be willing to have exactly these sensations exactly forever."]["be willing to work/operate from inside of this [as it is]] forever"][capture your exact global awareness/being/experiencing/imagining/expecting/feeling/knowing/understanding/believing state in any particular moment and perpetuate as long as you can without adding anything, adding nothing to that state itself][cf. the "soaking" instruction from standard noting practice, though that’s a local operation, as it were][perfectly willing to stably have this while simultaneously perfectly letting go][cf the facilitation of vividness and clarity][cf mindfulness; "but"][any particular moment, exactly as it is, last forever]["perfectly holding on to everything without adding anything ["further"] to that"]
- When you are finished with the above, in the ways in which it’s good to do so, and you can (are able to) do so, and not in the ways in which it’s bad to do so, make sure you completely stop willing that everything you’re experiencing in awareness/aware of remains stably just as it is.

Rambling scratch note: One might expect a practice, here, instead of, or alongside, the above, that's something like "allow/accept things to be just as they are," but in my experience it's a bit more instructive to try to actively stabilize things and to see how and when that fails (plus perhaps other more direct things, for some people). Regarding "for what’s good to and you can and it's not bad to," immediately or eventually, the "for what (and when)" will be, long run, never. That is, active stabilization will give way to effortless flux (which has a certain restful clarity/stability). But aiming at that directly seems less productive than sort of aiming at indirectly, but having the distinction somewhere in back of mind and acknowledging when it happens, bit by bit. And, also, very important point, there will already be tremendous stabilization actively and latently in the system, already--so exploring intentional stabilization (or especially importantly, also, letting it bottom-up come to the fore) is critical for the redo-to-undo process, though it can show up in many different conceptual/ontological/liminal/nebulous ways and not necessarily some or any sense of "stabilization as such," however labeled.
