I am eager to hear from you how you are understanding what is happening in the 4 elements meditation – like yesterday: going from feeling the finger tip, to the finger, to the hand, to the arm. For me it is mostly at the level of going from hand to arm, although it should likely also happen at the other levels: the mind can’t identify it immediately, it needs time to find it, to recognise the object. I understand, that the arm (the whole, a concept, label) is a collection of its parts, but not the parts. And that our mind knows the concept ‘arm’ immediately, and that apparently the ‘tactile sense’ is not as fast to find the accompanying sensations, which shows that the mind is creating the arm, conceptuality leading the perception. How come this happens to the tactile sense/consciousness, not to the eye sense/consciousness. I have no problem seeing the arm, when someone says arm. Both are sense direct perceptions. Is it just that our tactile sense is not well trained/used like our eye sense, that it also happens with our eye senses, but so fast that we are not recognising it, or is there more to it?
