Ahem....it's the very same erroneously imagined "who/what" that would make it a point to "attend to the actual."
Both what's being described in SDP's post and your prescription to ATA-T or without T, are in address to the unawakened. While if one is still fast asleep, in terms of having a better dream, is it then 'better' to be relatively speaking, more consciously aware of mind's machinations and what's going on than not, but it is important to note that neither equals "SR/abiding wakefulness."
Abiding SR/wakefulness hinges upon the absence of that imagined someone who would aim to "not get lost" or who would aim to "attend to the actual."

You sound as though you choose to practice simply because you sincerely enjoy the practice itself...? If so, that is something very different than making a plan and efforting towards continued practice because you believe that ensures a guaranteed path to SR/awakening.
Telling you are a fool for continuing to engage in something you find personally meaningful, would be extremely foolish.

The truly "original stateless state," is devoid of all property/quality. If there is still quietude, stillness, alertness and aliveness arising experientially, even if it's intuitively, very subtly 'sensed' only, then you're merely imagining to have apprehended the "original stateless state." Keep going....further.... The true "realization of" such does not leave you with Absolute/certain, "additive" knowing about qualities/properties that apply to experiential content, to appearance. What? So you mean there is point whereby one is NOT "embodying the human form" but then goes back to doing so? The very idea of embodying a human form or not, is way off the mark of what's being pointed to. If post realization, you are certain "once again" that you are a something that "embodies the human form," then it's clear that you did not actually have "a realization," but instead, are mistaking mind-based ideas and insights, for such. This idea that there exists a fundamental some-thing that then infuses and imbues itself "Into" the human form, thereby "unifying" the human form with "It," is precisely what gets seen through in SR...the realization of "Not two." The seeing through of the illusion of separation is the very same seeing of the boundless nature of consciousness...neither of which should be conflated with experiential things being "interconnected." The latter is an in the dream, experiential insight only. You are describing a relative shift of mind, only. Again, nothing to scoff at, but it's really not "fundamental" at all in the sense that that term is used in Nonduality/Truth-talk. Waking up "in" the dream, still bound in mind is something very, very different than awakening to see the dream as a dream and thus, no longer being bound within it. What seems "fundamental" when still bound within the dream is a far cry what what the term "fundamental" is pointing to when used to indicate that which lies prior to/beyond the dream. We are really are talking appearance vs. ground. The former is experiential content...the latter is primal...primary....that which abides and gives rise to all.

You are doing all sorts of contextual jumping around here; Your version/definition of "natural state" is not what's being pointed to in Nonduality/Truth-talk. Once again SDP, you have imagined to have apprehended what the gurus of Nonduality are pointing to and then from that erroneous imagining, you make your assertions.
Conceptualizing is simply what mind does. No need to avoid it or negate it or vilify it. Just see it for what it is, where it is and it's all good. There is nothing "un-natural" about a state whereby conceptualization happens. It's when concepts gets mistaken for something they are not, that the "natural/primal" gets marred/obscured.
The so called SVP is not actually a something that arises within experience...it's always only ever erroneously imagined. It never was....never actually IS...it is falsely invoked/imagined.

Those are the atheistic words of a soul lost within her own little mental world of sacred beliefs. No wonder you have no reference for things outside the mind.

Beyond/prior to, IS "outside of the mind." That's where my pointers are constantly pointing. And inherent to those pointers is very much, direct reference/apprehension of such. You clearly disagree and that's okay, but I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing.....this forum is mostly dedicated to Truth at all costs and I don't see that changing anytime soon. You having a tantrum and lashing out with name-calling, because your sacred belief is being challenged.

The Truth really will set you free, but it's true, first it will piss off the SVP to no end as it fights against all assertions that threaten it. JLY, you are demonstrating precisely what that 'angry fight of an SVP' looks like.

Your so-called "shift in locus of seeing that is SR" is merely a change in your thinking, which you mistakenly believe is being free from or prior to the mind. It;s not. You've just exchanged one mental stance for another, fooling yourself into thinking you are free of mind and calling it SR. If I'm wrong prove it.

That kind of "proof" and the need to receive it, has no place in Truth-talk. If my words and pointers ring hollow to you, so be it. No one is asking you to continue to read my posts or even continue to come to this forum. There are plenty who say they appreciate the pointing and the manner in which is done. I will just say this; When you find yourself continuing to feel compelled to come to a forum where you read posts that make you feel angry and there's a continued interest in engaging with that one who you keep hurling insults at, suggesting she is full of shit, etc, there's very likely something else going on there than just being a beggar for punishment. It really is true that before the Truth sets you free, it often makes you mad as hell. I say it's an auspicious place to be when the SVP is rearing up against the espousing of Truth, to try any way it can, to not merely refute it/challenge said pointing, but to lash out at the one espousing those pointers. Have you noticed how you have zero in the way of actual, direct counters/rebuttals to my pointers that you are insist are nothing but a fool's mental stance being mistaken for Truth? You are very good at telling me I'm wrong...missing the mark, but you are unable to explain how/why...... Notice on the other hand, how I am more than able to explain in great detail where I see conceptualization within your assertions?

By sharing your personal realization story...and suggestions on how others might go about gaining the same SR you claim.
