Dear colleagues,
I was wondering about the meaning of “my own subjective sense” in this context: I know that “sense” can have several meanings but I’m not sure about which one to choose. Does “my own subjective sense” refer to “the author's direct experience” with the meditation practice, or might it have a broader meaning and refer to his “personal opinion/impression” about what he may have seen in his patients and participants in his workshops? (or neither of them!!)

I try to provide a little context. The passage is taken from a book on a meditation practice called the Wheel of Awareness, which is used also in psychotherapy. The Wheel is a visual metaphor for the mind. The hub of the wheel is our knowing, our awareness, while the points on the rim are the "knowns", the objects of awareness. Accessing the hub – i.e. awareness – gives us freedom and choice, so the hub is akin to a “plane of possibility” (actually, the line of reasoning is more complex, as it draws on quantum physics and the plane of possibility is akind to “quantum vacuum”...). I hope this helps somehow...

I sincerely thank you for your patience.

The vastness of the plane of possibility gives us the capacity, when we’ve learned to access it more readily, both to have a more sustained focal attention and to hold on to a sense of freedom and flexibility to take in a wide expanse of emerging experiences. Perhaps this corresponds to what Richie Davidson found in his meditation research as ways in which we increase the ability to stay focused and aware even as the things we are attending to change. ** My own subjective sense ** of this with the Wheel practice is that there is a broader receptivity with which to experience and appreciate all that arises.
