Thanks for many replies to this! The brief extract I quoted here was an inadequate specification The hypothetical method would be about agendaless involvement in sensory fascination— not about thinking or non-thinking, not about non-involvement, not about doing anything

Hmm is this just for “outside” sensations? My thing has options for reverie, daydreaming, fantasizing, surrender.
-
This is specifically for outside yes

Wouldn't practices like "Shikantaza" fit this description? Not narrowing attention, no agenda, no instrumental focus. A "method-less method".
-
I have not learned or practiced that, but my impression is that you are supposed to not get involved in sensory fascination, which would be central to the practice I’m suggesting?

is this not resting in the primordial state? reading Wisdom Eccentrics it seems like that's what Dzogchenpas do: agendaless fascination. I could be misunderstanding what you're looking for or Dzogchen, most likely both.
-
Maybe! As I said in the footnote, it certainly seems consistent with Dzogchen. But I don’t know of it specifically being taught as a method.
