Fascination with experiences and mechanisms of experience is produced by the same fault–self-contraction and the habit of identifying with the mechanisms of the body-mind and the potential experiences of the body-mind. You are feeling that the body-mind is self, suffering the illusion that the body-mind is self, feeling the cramp of the body-mind–its inherent limitations and mortality–and you are struggling, therefore, to be satisfied with various objects, gross and subtle. But when there is the understanding, the realization, that all that is not self, then there is the Stand Prior to the subtle and gross hierarchy and phenomena, and the sadhana can move into its Perfect phase, moving beyond the causal knot itself–or attention itself, or the feeling of relatedness itself, and the sense of separate consciousness itself.
