|LensShadowDescription=is the ability to shift into a state of [[Association]] where you are merely watching or Witnessing events in the moment, without any sense of The Self.
|Looming=Present Moment Denial|LoomingDescription=is a polar distortion of Witnessing - refusing to see the present moment as it truly is, and instead moving into a state of denial of reality.
|Flickering=Emotional Projection|FlickeringDescription=is when an experience of Witnessing is tainted by Judgment or attaching values to The Now.  For example, if you are in a very meditative peaceful state, it might seem natural to assign those same emotions to whatever you are Witnessing, rather than experiencing the reality of the moment.
|AdditionalOverview=For example, while doing common tasks, practice relaxing your hold on the concept that you have some sort of consciousness that directs your actions.  Try to be the most mindful you can, and simply let your hold on [[Association#Unlearn the Self|The Self]] go, riding the stream of events that takes you through the task.  You can do these exercises while doing any task at all, not just chores, but it may be easier to start with simple household tasks that you do every day.
