I have not talked enough about the Eagle's emanations, or at least the figurative reception of energy fields. I am uncertain as to mechanics in this, but would say it is interpreted and becomes the forms we perceive. Anyway, I am going beyond the cause to my empiricism.
One can feel bombarded with stimuli. Regardless, it's a lot to deal with at times. It occurs to me this hampers 'progress' if there is no way out until the state passes. These ARE the states that need be detached from most. But detachment is not ignorance and burying one's head, and one does not detach at all if overwhelmed.
This is where I am beginning to identify my own accomplishment, that I CAN gain separation from the sometimes overwhelming stimuli enmass as I do-- by surrendering into my heart towards emptiness, and in or for an intelligent state of 'no concern.' This is because when I sufficiently destroyed my self/SELF in the practices I've spoken of, there is NOTHING that remains.
That is, the NOTHING void becomes a very safe and protective place to return to. I return to it habitually now. Very few will understand what I am talking about exactly. You must go deeper and deeper into your own rabbit hole to find where stimuli enmass ends, and simple awareness replaces it. This takes some doing, and I have mentioned the work of Miguel de Molinos for help in this sort of endeavor, but truthfully I know the cut and dry workings of such attainment perhaps better than anyone else, so as to make this work quick. (It does require a modicum of some prior detachment experience, but Jesus--most of you should have that if you're doing the warrior's way)
AND frankly, after an initially profound experience with emptiness, I only truthfully know the remnants of inner stillness. But going back to that works for me. I can tell you how to ride a bicycle all I can (it's useless), so you're going to have to pedal and do it. I CAN encourage you though.
