how fast can you read zen/enlightenment texts?

This is the basis for the rest of this post,
I am wondering about this experiment and your experiences with it.

What I have written here is my thoughts about experiences and other thoughts.

• dont choose^1, to do anything² that a dead person wouldn't do³
  

¹ when you notice a choice being made in your head, this is the opportunity.
² movement that is driven by the unconscious is noticed by the conscious mind, slightly, AFTER the fact. Ergo, suppression of movement or thoughts is too late.
³ this is just to illustrate the encompassing dataset that you will use to compare the experiential perceptions to, to see if you should react to them or not. An example of this is, having a thought about something, and then if you get the sense that a dead person wouldn't react to it, then you don't add to the pile.

The title is an errant thought I had while meditating/relaxing/practicing feeling good, just now, and the rest is because I wonder what happens when other people try the stuff

These guys are talking about super basic experiences with metaphor and abstraction, i feel this way because i am listening to it and am connecting to what they mean when describing things, and i hear big silly words like ('transcend' or 'self' for skydiving induced stillness and clarity) 'suffering', or 'oneness', talking about stuff like bodily sensations.

this video isnt defining what introspection is or how to do it necessarily, but it provides material for people with less technical understandings and abilities doesn't it?

how many people are gonna read Mumonkan if they aren't hooked in by getting high on meditation , etc?

I also feel like the 'red hot iron ball' one doesn't really do much for me, has anyone done the Mu exercise for any length of time?

i always jump around.

which one is dead sitting again?
