Actually direct introduction by any phenomenon happening by chance is more likely and happens more often than it is likely and easy afterwards to be and remain without doubt and be and remain certain that 'this is it, nothing else.' and to continue in awareness. The conditionings of ordinary mind are very strong and merely having been introduced once cannot overcome these conditionings.

And what is directly introduced will signal its own awareness of itself aware in that moment.
The point is there is movement and will always be movement because of the spontaneous present nature of awareness as the ground of being and its dynamic manifestations. Awareness is not that stillness and calm abiding that may occur in meditations and that fades away after the meditation session has been completed. Awareness also is movement of body, speech and mind. So when having been directly introduced and when stabilizing this to which has been directly introduced it 'has to be' integrated with its own spontaneously present dynamics, integrated with all kinds of movements of body, speech and mind. But being immersed in authentic awareness there is spontaneous integration with all movements of body, speech and mind without effort, there can't be any dynamics which would not be that awareness.

What refers to 'thought patters' in the following quote is valid for 'emotional patterns' too. The point here is that these patterns are not to be rejected as 'Oh this is ordinary mind, I do not want to have this.' but when immersed in authentic awareness these patterns appear as what they are: the dynamics of awareness itself, the dynamic energy of the ground of being or 'the ornament of basic space'.

to differentiate or exclude,
so that nature is not ensured by achievement, but arises as
basic space.
Without rejecting samsara, you perceive it to be naturally
occuring timeless awareness
through the pure yoga of the dynamic energy of the vast
expanse of being.
