Hey Claudiu, really interesting post - and yes your emojis did a great job at conveying what they needed to haha.
Regarding my references to “thinning out” - I was not actually trying to do that, it was more that I would look (as if turning around) and suddenly finding everything to look very different.
Regarding the huge affective ramp up that you describe - excellence experiences - I have had a few powerful ones before so I know exactly what you mean.
However - hehe - I have NO idea how to make them happen and it has now been a long time since I’ve had one like that.
Also - the word I always used for those “yank you by the neck and pull you into another dimension” EEs was dynamic - they had such an element of unbelievable…not even sure what to call it. Power isn’t the right word…but basically akin to literally being pulled into another dimension.
Then I started to wonder, given that I know PCEs are “still”, if my using EEs was some other thing - like maybe they weren’t the right route after all. Maybe the way into stillness was by being “still” affectively. It’s not that I actively tried to stop having them but moreso a matter of just not being sure what I did. Then the more ive tried to bring results since then, the more that seemed to scupper things.
Hence why I have reoriented myself to feeling good in the virtual freedom way (which is still really good). And obviously if I continue like this my overall mood will keep going up and increasing likelihood of peak experiences over time.
You are correct to say that, in one’s normal state going about one’s day, there is a bit of a tendency to “focus on sensuosity” with more of a neutral affect - purely because in the PCE equation, the felicity side seems like less of an easy lever to pull compared to sensuosity.
So you are exciting me reminding me of EEs but as the feeling being currently occupying this moment - it’s hard to know what I would do in this moment or any other moment in order to elicit such an event.
Which is perhaps where summoning up delight comes in. Then becomes a question of how…tracing back? Craig’s ladder? Rememoration?
Most things I try feel like a kind of artifice that has little power to budge my affective “set point” (to use a Syd word 
).
Your post seems to imply that EEs are necessary for PCEs but then when I think of Pamela on the DVDs she does seem to go from “good mood” in one moment to instant PCE in the next without the EE rollercoaster.
Obviously interested in your input too Vineeto.
Cheers guys
