Hey Jed,
I finished your enlightenment series about a year ago and just
started reading Damndest for a second time.
Read/watched/listened to some other related materials in-between
(your work acted as a spring board into this other world view).
While I have only consciously sat down to work on “formal”
spiritual autolysis 5-6 times since starting down this path, it
seems that I haven’t been able to shake what you might call an
involuntary/internal SA within the mind (i.e. mind is crunching
the implications & mechanisms of non-duality & truth without my
conscious decision to sit down and “do the work”). Almost as if
I can’t shake it even if I wanted to.
Last night, I threw my brain into overload consciously working
on SA. It ended with my heart racing, shortness of breath and
what felt like the beginnings of a panic attack. I tried to
keep going but it was as if my subconscious shut it down.
Is this to be expected? I was left feeling like it may have
been the first time I’ve actually done more than scrape the
surface. I had an overwhelming impression that an outside
“something” was resisting my line of inquiry.
The other thing I’ve been pondering is whether there are similar
exercises to help grasp what or who might be driving this
awareness we all experience? Or is this something that
continues to fall from importance as we go deeper?
Thanks for all the work Jed and for continuing to make yourself
available

Hi Codow
Welcome to the forum. Maya kicks back in myriad ways. That's
what you experienced. Not a big deal. There are a number of what
I call 'contemplations' that I teach in the Navigator Series
which provide a systematic kind of structured approach for
dealing with, seeing through and neutralizing these sort of
experiences. Remember, T/R is not an experience, it is way
beyond such things. It's safe to just ignore experiences with
the works, 'Thanks, but no thanks'.
Love ya, Jed.

Thanks Jed. It was an uncomfortable feeling to have for sure
but it was helpful to be able to recognize it for what it was.
As backwards as it may sound, it felt good - like I was making
progress (but it did successfully derail me for the night at a
time where I felt like maybe I was getting closer).
I'd be very interested in any exercises or techniques that might
help

I have a good number of what I call 'contemplations' in the
courses and also referenced from time to time in the Jed Rants.
I suggest you start by learning the Full Body Breath. It's a
recording that I pass along at not charge. Please write me at
cambodianashram.com and request it.
Cheers, Jed.
