Fall 2011 Shamatha Retreat

Practice comes in phases. There is a withdrawal from appearances, and inversion into the very nature of awareness, and a release (like a flower opening in all directions into a space of no object, no thought, no concept). What is the experience of being the agent of the inverting and releasing of awareness? Is there a sense of someone who is in control? Investigate the immediate experience. Meditation starts at 8:07
