So what was the awakening? How does that awakening happen?

Well, here's another thing that's really kinda cool.

Most people think it's just like a lightning flash.

But in the Pali Canon, it's described as taking at least, well, if, if it's true that, uh, the quarters that the, you know, are broken up into three hours, it took nine hours.

[chuckles] And the awakening, the way I describe it in my book is there's an element of, like, the Sherlock Holmes ah, you know, as well as the mystic's oh in the awakening, because he is directing his mind to specific things or phenomena.

So there's ration- r- reason and rationality that is being used, and then there's also intuition, and it's all there because it's the ah and the oh kind of thing happening.

But it does, he says, I, he, he turned his attention to different experiences, right? So, like, in my meditation, when I follow the Satipatthana, I turn my attention to maybe today's meditation's just gonna be on sound, because perception, I could do all five senses, but I could actually just really hone in on just sound or just taste.

Yeah, yeah.
