The Noble Council of Akanitta Brahma Realm was remembered with faith.
I repeated the 27/06/2025 Asmiti maana (the conceit 'I am') meditation. I realised that the sense of absence of any views (diṭṭi) between the body-tie of misapprehension (parāmāsakāyagantho) and mental volition (manosañcetanā) occurs when there is no taking of the plane of nothingness (ākiñcaññāyatana) as self.
This connected with a Dhamma point from the 23/03/2015 Vimuttinaanadassana (knowledge and vision of liberation) meditation.
That is, in the path coming to ageing (jarā) through sorrow (soka) after the flow occurring from lamentation (parideva) to sickness (vyādhi), examine the instance where the strong influence is coming from line 9. This instance was added as the third point to the 14/03/2025 Nibbāna meditation. Investigating with this, it was understood that the idea ‘exists’ in ageing (jarā) does not exist when sickness (vyādhi) is well understood.
Here, when contemplating that within the body-tie of misapprehension (parāmāsakāyagantha) there are accumulation of illnesses, things done in the past, past karma, etc., and with this understanding when ageing (jarā) is well comprehended, a large star appeared again at the location of the body-tie of misapprehension (parāmāsakāyagantha). Here, if the removal of self-theory clinging (attavādupādāna) occurs, then the destruction of taints (āsava) is accomplished.
That is the meditation.
To add a little more to this,
1. I recalled how the removal of self-theory clinging (attavādupādāna) occurs through this meditation. The 50% path should be removed. That is, delight (nandi) should subside and one should not go along the 50% path, and from consciousness (viññāṇa) no dhamma should travel to the going a bad way through fear (bhayā agatigamanaṃ). This happens through seeing both area 2 and the area where consciousness is marked (viññāṇa) as suffering.
2. When doing this meditation, when the body-tie of misapprehension (parāmāsakāyagantha) is seen as a bundle of unwholesome states (akusala), the mind opens up.
3. When doing this meditation, a mind that does not establish anywhere in the universe arises. That is, when rapture (pīti) is felt, the mind does not establish in rapture (pīti). When pleasure (sukha) is felt, the mind does not establish in pleasure (sukha). When the plane of nothingness (ākiñcaññāyatana) appears, the mind does not establish in the plane of nothingness (ākiñcaññāyatana). One remains with a mind that is both vast and peaceful. I expressed gratitude to the Budu Piyawaru for giving this Dhamma.
4. Investigating further, the understanding that “the idea ‘exists’ in ageing (jarā) does not exist when sickness (vyādhi) is well understood”, if so the body-tie of misapprehension (parāmāsakāyagantho) should be well understood. One should know that the idea “exists” in the body-tie of misapprehension (parāmāsakāyagantho) should not persist.
That's what needs to be added.
