Great information again, IW and RM!
One thing that's worked for me in terms linking not-doing and intent, is the active of placing awareness on the vibrational energy of intent itself, which helps sustain inner silence, which, in essence, acomplishes what's been described as the not-doing of the self. It's been said that the self, as far as we've come to know it, is an idea reinforced by the mind. Placing awareness on the vibrational energy of intent helps to silence the steady stream of reinforcement of the idea of the self...thus, the not-doing of the self! I've seen it work, in short bursts here and there. Now, the trick for me is to sustain it...to persist so that the not-doing is allowed to gain momentum to tip the scales and then...well, then I presume the unraveling of my known world will happen and the true self will emerge amidst that unraveling.
I've got more work to do!
