Shamatha always implies a withdrawal. In shamatha without a sign we are not interested in the 5 sensory field not even in the mind, it is the ultimate retreat, just resting in the very nature of awareness. The knowing of knowing is the most undoubtable knowledge we have. This practice is a bit difficult because we’re addicted to ‘doing’. Alan also talked about the Janas and why the bliss of Samadhi is not to be feared.
Meditation starts at 15:36
