I am going to go on a silent retreat later in the year - 10 days, and have never done this before, I am looking forward to it. I am curious though about the process and what evolves through it ... you speak of right view - can you describe this - is it peaceful clarity or do you also find answers to your own questions through the process - innate wisdom?

What I thought about in the reading above was - the space between flashes of ignorance, which gives both the perspective that notices ignorance and notices non ignorance inadvertently in this. That ignorant viewpoints are impermanent. Perhaps therefore to watch out more from a mindfulness perspective for the spaces in between where these can be noticed, and how in meditation these spaces grow more familiar and can grow in extent through practice over time.
