The Deluding Aspects of Concepts

The Buddha is leading us from this world of concept to the level of direct perception. When we're undistracted, it becomes so clear that what we're actually aware of are simply different sensations arising and sensations in space. That's all that's there in our experience. It's a pressure being known or a slightness being known or movement being known. We see that there's nothing solid or permanent at all. And sometimes, this is particularly striking to me even as I'm just moving about in my daily life and being mindful in this way. With this felt sense of all that’s there is this flow of changing sensations, it's like Casper the ghost of something.
