Quote from the initial post by Rishi Michael:

Yes, every ascetic must meditate and answer the question for himself/herself. Here it is again with a few words added:

• When the coreSelf loops its attention without taking assistance from the adjuncts, does it have direct interaction with the objects which it relied on the adjuncts to perceive?"

My "thoughts":

When looping its attention without taking the assistance of the adjuncts, the coreSelf would have its attention not much hypnotized by the intellect and therefore can be directed towards objects that are subtler in nature than the other ordinary objects of consideration.

So the coreSelf may not have a direct perception of the objects which it relied on the adjuncts to perceive.

And, this is would defeat the purpose of doing the exercise if it will lead back to the very thing the coreSelf is endeavoring to loop away from.

Furthermore, without the adjuncts in this environment, the coreSelf might as well be immaterial or inconsequential (as explained in Rishi's reply).Therefore, according to that scenario, the coreSelf wouldn't really have anything to do with absolutely nothing at all that we know of, from our adjunct perceived lives and realities of all and any levels.
