In your own words do you know this state? Fluidity of movement, with intent, within the inner world, is such an interesting subject. So many profitable questions, so little commentary so little in the way of description.

In my experience, this contemplative abode is the spaciousness in which all else arises & subsides. Given its themeless, often contentless quality, it can be challenging to convey in words. Still, I'd describe it as luminous awareness, boundless & transparent, buoyantly free.

Space itself is unmoving but contains all movement within it. The practice entails looking directly at spacious awareness even in the midst of movement, namely by looking through transparent thoughts, allowing them to arise & subside without mindlessly sticking them together.

I spent a year or so with the medatitve effort of watching thought. I think my interest in the flow of process was disappointing to my teacher. The practice "See each thought hover"

When the question of self is raised it is with the the effort of "Separating oneself from one's self" in mind. Ignoring the philosophical sophistry of this observation duality and all, we are two natured. One self innate the other grafted onto the foundational structures.

We have a data stream, "sensation" a record complete with proclivities "personality" and the mechanisms our "essence" the genetic inertia towards this or that orientation to the exterior/interior world as well as the capacities both physical and intellectual From this 2 selves.

Both selves (and myriad other branching iterations) are equally streams, at least in my experience. Of course, your mileage may vary.

Not a "who" or a "what" - more a process of seeing that sees the seen.

1/2 I sense that, for me a least, a corollary here is how I (asterisk needed for that pronoun) am coming to appreciate more and more that my habitual sense of "me"— as a waking, cognitive thing (ditto)—is *a generated event.*

Likewise. That which is conditioned, in my experience, can't rightfully be called a "self" in any substantial or enduring way. All is process. All is flowing. We use language for conventional communication, but need not reify any of it into a solid, durable entity. Just streams.

My thinking is from a functional perspective as opposed to a subjective perspective. Certainly as I see the question it is not that a self exists or not but one of identification with the self. To restate self is a tool to be used. All too often the tools use us.
