I was re-reading A Seperate Reality yesterday, after I posted this. I hadn't realised that what I was doing with water gazing is the same as what CC did by the irrigation ditch. In his description, he said it looked like he was looking at a picture of the water. That's what I meant by "interruptions" and patterns and pauses. The water stops flowing and you're looking at a piece of it in time, it seems like.

Anyway. after reading that I thought I should post a warning. I said that you might feel your awareness strtching to encompass the whole stream. Well, DJ says not to get carried by the sound of the water or he could lose CC. He also says this must be done with a benefactor, I'd assume one that can see, because a beginner won't be able to bring him/herself back if the green mist envelopes you. He says the body will just die there on the banks of the stream and the spirit of the water hole will carry one off.
You need to not abandon yourself to it, which in my experience means, don't get caught up in the extraordinary event that is happening... act like it's ordinary. The same goes for everyday life. Don't get caught up in the ordinary... acts like it's extraordinary. They're really one and the same. Life is just life... not ordinary life and extraordinary life.
