They say if you put a frog in cool water and raise
the heat he won't notice getting cooked. Works the
same way with skills like sports or playing a musical
instrument. The gains are drops in the bucket, but the
bucket finally gets filled. Non-conceptual concentration
can grow and allow true clear seeing.
The sudden method of koan study (when successful)
offers a stark contrast easier to perceive.
Logically we know that perception of the physical and
mental present is the only kind of perception there can be.
So what's the big deal? The difference is to be beyond
thinking and dreaming as the default mode, and into
intuitive direct perception -- objective disassociation
even of thoughts and feelings rather than helplessly
biased subjective submersion in them. No longer
carelessly identifying with thoughts and feelings as a 'self'.
