Report On The Do-nothing Technique

@Nahm That's confusing as shit, but I'll take it thanks!

Much of the confusion in this thread is actually addressed by Shinzen Young in the video at the end of this post. I have linked to the specific time where he mentions the point I want to make.

If you have already done concentration meditation, awareness meditation or mindfulness meditation in the past, you have likely build up momentum. We could also say a mental habit has developed to be aware of certain things. So when you are not new to meditative practices and you start to do the Do-Nothing technique, part of your experience will involve the habit to do these practices you have done in the past. If this happens automatically, you do nothing about it. That means the technique might be doing itself. You will then come to realize that nobody is doing it. You remain as the awareness of it all.

Here he talks about this:
