I don’t know if I do what is being described here, but if I were to try to create a computing analogy it would be spinning up a low priority thread that is just sampling what is going on in my mind and how I’m processing the observations that I make and the sensory inputs that I’m experiencing. These samples are just stored away somewhere that I’m able to somewhat recall later.
It’s kind of similar to that state of mind you have when you’re boiling water, you get involved with some other activity but there’s somehow an increased sensitivity to the rather subtle sound of a bubbling pot.
If you try to think too much about the observations real-time, you interrupt the primary thought process that you were trying to observe. So it’s kind of a passive process that you can then reason about later.
I think it’s just something you have to try to do until you start to get results, it’s so subtle and personal that I think it’s going to be difficult for anyone to truly give prescriptive instruction that results in success.
