Reparenting Our Freaked Out Infant - Noting All Vanishings & Gone in Pure Feeling ~ Shinzen Young

Shinzen clarifies and responds to a student's report during a group process regarding global vanishings and "noting gone", which is a theme in the Focus on Change strategy. He answers the implicit questions 1) Why is this happening? and 2) What should I do about it?

Shinzen talks about noting primordial feel and working with vanishings. He goes on to say that this helps work through the first thing that in your first few hours and days after being born separated us from our spiritual source. The adult meditator applies the technique which helps work through the primordial freak out of the infant. That’s the linchpin of the freak out of the adult and the teenager and all the intermediate levels from infant to adult.

Eventually, an experience of the freaked out infant leads to the infant becoming its cosmic parents (expansion and contraction). Then zero is re-established – the next gone – and you are that. But this zero is inherently unstable. This gives rise to the expansive and contractive forces creating space while giving rise to the pure heat of feeling. If you go through this cycle enough times you will have completely reparented yourself, and the adult that will arise from that process will be called an enlightened human.
