the experience of presence is always on/off for me , one moment i am aware than the next i drop into thinking and then aware again and so on

i am listening to forest trance all the time to combat this dropping into thought , i've also been trying other methods aswell

still i suppose its work to be aware all the time , perhaps it takes a litttle effort only , however i am waiting for it to become permanent enough that it requires no effort on my part

good you add this to the thread , this makes it even clearer to understand the crystallization process
