Self-Inquiry: Right direction?

[Matt23]

I thought I may have caught a glimpse of how nothing is perceiving all form…

It may have also been a thought…

I was doing the look back at yourself technique, but just the part where I observe the visual plain as a whole tapestry (versus looking at individual aspects of perception, I'm "zooming out" to see it all in one) 

I kind of became aware and/or thought that what was perceiving the visual plain wasn't coming from somewhere "back there" from my eyeballs (i.e., directionality from "my head" to "out there"), but that there might not have been a perceiver as such, or that awareness, or what was knowing what I was seeing, was non-localized.  The best analogy I can think of is the common "Things are appearing within consciousness"...

Almost like there was no seeing things (seeing meaning there's a directionality, a seer and a seen), just being aware of things.  Like awareness was, and things were being made aware of, but that awareness wasn't coming from the person behind my eyes (directionality).

But the "me" makes it seem there's a directioanlity to perception, when, seemingly, there's just awareness of stuff… no localized awareness… "floating"

The only thing is it didn't seem like a non-dual experience since I wasn't "blown away"

It also seemed like thought was somehow involved, so I don't know if it was really Truth.

From what I've read this seems like the right direction, but perhaps just the faintest of tastes.  This (this mode of perception) seemed to last for only an instant.  I felt a bit of excitement, but it quickly faded and I wasn't that effected by it.  IT mostly felt like a cool experience.

Any thoughts, tips, or ideas welcomed.

 

P.S.  I think afterwards, while walking upstairs, I kinda felt like I wasn't my body, like I was watching it or something.  But it felt faint and I wasn't too shocked about it...

I guess one thing I question is whether I'm just thinking or conceptualizing these perception or if they're actually real observations of reality...

@Matt23 Great inspection work. To break up the duality more, notice there is unidirectionality, while there is also not. 

You can think of what’s seen, but can’t visually see thinking. 

Aware of thoughts, you can not think awareness.

Being aware, there is not awareness of being. 

The phones believe they’ll die when no longer able to receive the wifi....and they of course then realize they are the wifi. There was only wifi the whole magical time.

I don't think I understand, but i'll keep trying to observe and see what comes.  I was going to ask if you could elaborate, but I thought again since more elaboration might just confuse me or I might get more attached to the concepts instead of seeing what's there.

I think if you sleep on it, and then maybe read it once a day and look in direct experience, it will “click”. 
cheers!
