Hi everyone,
I was wonderring if there exists a term for a certain state of mind I've been experiencing durring meditation.
I am sure that many of you have experienced it as well. I will explain by giving an example: last evening while meditating, I was hearring cars passing by( I live near a crossroads). After a few minutes however, the sounds of the cars lost all context, they were not indicative of passing cars any longer, they were simply sounds. A similar example is when I was meditating and the neighbours were having a birthday party or something. In any case, I could hear music playing in the background as I was meditating. But, as with the passing cars, after a couple of minutes, the music became just sound, without any context.
Is there a word for that specific state of mind? Where the world loses all context? Is there any where I could read and/or learn more about it? I don't think it's one of the jhanas, though I might be wrong. Maybe it's Mushin?
Thanks in advance to all who answer, and a happy new year!
