I’m confused. From your description, I thought that Looking was the same thing as Enlightenment, but now you’re saying you only care about convincing us about Looking, not “enlightenment”?
Best mapped in the very dense book, “pointing out the great way”.
One path to enlightenment is to provide a moment of pure clear seeing (a state of mind) and align the rest of the mind with the path back there. Then let the result play out.
(Context—Digging up a 5 year old post...) The idea of pure clear seeing, is a momentary state of experience which … wait I said this above.
Maybe it’s a bit like finally “getting” a math equation. It seemed confusing for a while, then it seemed to not make sense, and then clear seeing … at least in the mental understanding sense. In my experience, the subjective sense of “pure clear seeing” extends from literal visual stimuli appearing sharper and vivid, through emotional clarity, to mental constructs being sharp and vivid in the mind’s eye as well.

Looking isn’t enlightenment, it’s a practice for getting there (and getting to enlightenment isn’t the only thing that you can use it for).
