In fact, I’d say it’s a missed opportunity to not ignore it. It’s a different feature than the normal distracting thoughts and sensations, and thus affords a chance to lock in focus in a more rigorous setting, like jogging with leg weights.
Sure, in that context of practice that could be a perfectly reasonable way to train.
One could also do the exact opposite and open to the full vividness of subjective space-time in all its bizarre co-emergent transient glory.
Both could be valid approaches, among others

I don't give a fuck what people tell me for practice if it works. I would sing mantras over a sheep's skull if it would do something fun. But it can be a bit rattling to see "practice this way only" stated when it can't possibly be an authoritative claim. Where are the results?

I think if we limit the idea of meditation as being attentional training, we can say that it’s best to keep that as front and center in the practice, which means ignoring the fireworks at every opportunity. Meditation is more for many, so it’s not a blanket proscription.

The latter is valid only if it wasn’t about making attention more acute and more about exploring the material that can arise in the context of a meditation practice. I’d still contend that ultimately, there isn’t much there, even though it may be impressive to experience.
