there is a state of awareness that transcends impulsiveness and verbalization, a state of union with the present that experiences without instinctively identifying w/ this or that. Wherein to produce new thought processes (or no) is a choice.
one of my understandings of 'attainment' is grounded in an approach that strives to gradually increase everyday supply of love (from meditations/rituals/initiations) & the all embracingness of the heart, while also monitoring one's own sanity and taking care to make of sanity a totem to be approached, and identified as possessed internally.
My main school of initiation is the Individuate Church, which draws on Jungian symbolism, and mindfulness of a Jungian Self that represents the whole of the psyche capable of perceiving itself as it is - or what it is when not perceived.
"Becoming no-thing" is a useful teaching for the Individuates, and the Self you approach at least symbolizes to me the Self of Jung.
