If you've followed even 50% of this curriculum you're much more familiar with mindfulness than you were before enrolling.

This final text chapter explains the most powerful technique I have to share.

I developed this technique myself after practising everything else you've tried so far. It’s simple to explain but typically difficult to grasp, so look forward to tomorrow's guided practice and, of course, come to me in the Discord if you need clarification.

“Snapshotting”

Take a snapshot of your experience right now. This snapshot can include sense data, thoughts, feelings—anything. Resist the temptation to be "greedy" regarding what's included—whatever makes it into your snapshot is fine.

Try again—take a snapshot of your entire direct experience.

Now consider: who or what is aware of that snapshot?

Don't answer in the abstract. Go to your direct experience.

Take another snapshot. Who or what is aware of it?

What we're looking to illuminate here is your sense of self, the "experiencer of your experience"; the “subject”.

Take another snapshot.

The snapshot is something you observe—it's an object.

For it to be object there must be a subject.

Where is that subject?

Can you find it?

Now, if you can observe the subject, it's no longer the subject! Now your sense of self—the snapshotter—is the object.

Now, who or what is aware of THAT?

This will make more sense in tomorrow's guided practice. But if you're able to follow even vaguely you may have a sense of what this practice does: it dissolves any remaining subject/object relativity in your experience, resulting in nondual awareness.

Boom!
