In June I began to interview for my first professional job, and by the end of the month I accepted an offer. This was a huge victory for Right Lifestyle, and a significant turning point in my path as a whole. An increase in off-cushion patience solidified, which reduced the irritated tendencies that had plagued me in previous months at my internship. However, I was still getting destabilized by lack of sleep and alcohol consumption.
Throughout the month I had a couple “preview” experiences of more refined awareness. One seemed to match the Actualist description of the PCE, while others seemed to match nondualist descriptions by Buddhist traditions.
My work in the removal of distracting thoughts also began to stabilize and the overall volume of obsessions were reduced. For the first time in my pragmatic meditation career, I struggled with motivation as my mental quiet became a comfortable new normal. I continued to sit on my zafu, twice daily for 60 minutes (as much as possible).
