About this episode
Mid-stage practitioners constitute perhaps 5–10% of meditators. This is the stage where awakening begins to stabilise.
A core feature of this stage is that thoughts lose their unquestioned authority. They are still present, but they are no longer automatically taken as reality. Thoughts are seen as appearances rather than truths: as thoughts, nothing more, nothing less.
