Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• The same dissatisfaction keeps gnawing at me, and I’m starting to suspect I’m not seeing the situation as it actually is
• Something genuinely hurts and I keep rushing past it
• I don’t want to just believe a teaching on faith and call it done
• When I sit quietly I keep assuming there’s a little "me" sitting behind my eyes watching the thoughts go by, separate from them
• Sometimes the inner image suddenly goes brighter and clearer on its own and I don’t know whether that’s the real thing or my mind making it up

Practices that may help

1. Right view — seeing clearly rather than through distortion
   Examine a current problem or belief and ask whether you are seeing it as it actually is or through a lens of craving, aversion, or misperception.
   The Noble Eightfold Path as a Practical Life Framework
2. First noble truth — recognising dukkha honestly
   Acknowledge suffering as it actually is — without dramatising it or spiritual-bypassing it.
   The Four Noble Truths as a Practical Framework
3. Fourth noble truth — committing to the path as a practice, not a belief
   The fourth noble truth is the prescription: engage the Eightfold Path as an active investigation, not as a doctrine to subscribe to.

4. Experiencing the self as a process, not a thing
   In meditation, observe the stream of experience directly and notice that "I" is a label for the stream, not a separate observer of it.

5. The counterpart sign (patibhaga nimitta)
   Recognise when the mental image transforms into a luminous, purified counterpart — this marks the threshold of access concentration.

6. Practicing with eyes open and lowered
   Keep eyes softly open and cast downward — in Zen, the open eye is the practicing eye.

7. Continuing practice after insight (post-kensho)
   Treat any opening as a beginning, not an arrival — the curriculum continues.

8. Don’t make gods into demons
   Don’t let spiritual practice become a source of pride, judgment, or superiority over others.

9. Pu — simplicity and the uncarved block
   Return regularly to an unconditioned, open state before adding complexity or opinion.
   The Tao Te Ching, Made Practical
10. Train with the two truths throughout all activities
