when people talk about infinite consciousness they don't mean it numerically(because infinity isn't a numeric thing). what they mean is there is absolutely mental division between things and no beginning or end can be found.

i loved the description of the microphone impacting the cheekbone. this really clarified something for me. i don’t think i’ve heard it as clearly as this before.

I find that there's a unity between the frequency of the background noise in the visual field, auditory field and somatics, like they're all aspects of a whole. Feels like the constructive process of the phenomenological universe coming into being and disappearing.

Very nice! Eventually we can perceive everything as coming through one sense door (the God sense) and being of one taste, and choose to relate to reality at different levels of abstraction with varying degrees of complexity or simplicity.

Thanks for the great content. I had a first awakening shift last year, and since then I've had phases of consciousness expansion that lead again into contraction. The cycles can last a few days to a few weeks, where the notion of a self becomes a lot weaker, almost dispelled, and then grows stronger again. Can you make a video around this expansion and contraction situation please?

Wow never heard this kind op pointers! This give something to work with. I was already exploring the visual field now this wil boost :P

I first started to notice this at a retreat last September and it's stuck since, though not as intensely. It's like everything has an element of feeling in it. I feel sounds the most.

Haha, now it seems I can't turn it off anymore :) I like it though! It's so clear when you pointed it out. Granted, I've noticed this before, but without this reminder I would not have been sensitive to it right now. Most of the sensations I have are in the face and a lot of them actually in my eyes. It's like when I watch a chair there is an impression of a chair printed on my eyes. It's kind of tiring to notice it. I'll start practicing it, the way you outlined. Thank you, Roger!

Great pointer, haven't heard it before

If my memory is correct, it has been shown that people who have very limited experience using vision (like newborns and the previously blind) can correctly associate the visual appearance of something with its physical shape - even though they don't have experience of touching that object before. It does seem that you're right that we phenomenologically feel things we see, in a way - like a prediction of what it would feel like to touch them.

another really obvious way to notice this is to bring an object like a pencil or even your finger slowly towards the point between your eyes but without it touching your body

Thank you Roger :)

10 seconds in but the title reminds me of somatic meditation techniques

Where I dont follow you is with weather there are already sensations across the whole body and you just imagine they are created by visual objects or if they are actually created. And where does this approach lead to insight, isn't there a "me" doing the scanning and being in the receiving end of this observation?
