I was asked: Do you plan to inform readers of inselfyoga.com, if you can maintain this awareness, or if you find that you are unable to do so?

I hadn't planned to, but maybe an update will suffice.

Since experiencing the separation of mind from the body, I've been more at ease overall. This life and the circumstances of it seem more distant and less personal. It's kind of like life is happening around the mind or within awareness. Having a pleasant demeanor comes more naturally although I still have a habit of making judgments.

I've also encountered the separation of mind a couple more times, each a little different but each having the flavor of freedom and lightness and formlessness. In one encounter, I was in a dream and the mind slipped out of the dream, and I had some knowledge of the dream contents but I didn't find myself immediately linked into the physical form. Now I know that the mind, the awareness, is distinct from the physical body state and the dream state. Another time, I was waking up in the morning and awareness/mind/mentality was already separate from the body or it felt separate and light and free, and then I rose from the bed with ease, almost floating through the motions of doing what needed to be done and feeling such freedom. This, of course, didn't last more than 30 minutes before dwindling. These new experiences aren't perfectly clear so I can't make a claim to anything or know exactly what is happening without getting more experience.

It's a taste of something higher. Ajahn Suchart, the forest monk in Thailand, recommended that I persist in seated meditation and not forget about this. It's a good development for me.
