I do not catch cessations (I think) but am now able to "shift" easily into a "watcher" point of view, where thoughts feels like sensations twitter.com/Triquetrea/sta

Much of what we call "thinking" is more like the feedback loop triggered by scratching an itch.

"This is really itchy. Better scratch it. GAH! Oh bother, now I need to salve it. Uh. Still stings. Maybe I shouldn't scratch that." Etc.

Thought-as-sensation injects a new signal into the loop, disrupts it. Funny thing is you can often feel the trigger that amplifies the loop.

Thanks. Im not yet there, but seems like it is that kind of experiential realization/wisdom that can trigger shifts/awakenings?

I'd just call it sensory acuity. Every thought is accompanied by sensations, AFAIK. It's just difficult to notice in betawave frequency.

I actually think it is sensation that create thought that again let you reflect back on the sensation that was the original cause. LoL
