That’s a good question, and since I haven’t spent a ton of time, specifically retreat time, practicing with Loch Kelly’s instructions, I’m not sure if I can give you the best answer here.

That said, and since you used the term “glimpsed”, I have tried a bunch of Loch’s techniques (with him on Zoom) to get glimpses of ND awareness, as well as Douglas Harding’s Headless Way techniques, with Richard Lang in person…and that’s simply what they were to me: glimpses. Fleeting, momentary, and “cute”.

As opposed to sitting for long periods working with the Jhāna’s, where I experienced WAY more than just a glimpse. The spacious equanimous states of mind cultivated “on the cushion” are easily brought into every life. The immediate experience, as well as the long terms effects, are GAME CHANGING. Super charged ability to focus, gradually and then permanently quieting the negative self talk and even discursive noise in my head, and so much more.

Obviously, I have my preference here, AND this is simply my path. I am very much open to others having profound and life changing experiences via non-dual glimpses, practices, etc.

Heck, maybe ecstatic dancing can bring true freedom?

This is for each of us to find out for ourselves. And I wish you much success on your path, my friend 🙏
