I agree, but there is another combination available.
The above is really not important if pure intent is active and working. That remembrance is replaced by an intimate knowing.
From this position it is absolutely fine to be/indulge in the sadest emotions possible, because they happen in front of a perfect and pure background so to speak. All feelings, no matter how profound, happen in a stable velocity, without the danger of spiraling into something completely absurd.
With pure intent + not repressing nor expressing all emotions inevitably cease after a while and change into something other. It’s like a battery that has to discharge. After the discharge one can look closer into it = thinking/making connections
I can hardly remember a time where pure intent was not active, not a given. So I have to be careful with my advice regarding how to operate without it.
Is it a sensible approach to be one’s feelings completely without that background?
I really don’t know.
