E: Nope. Niz would throw Ben out into a puddle in the street. Too much preserving of the individual going on.
With respect to the thread: Beyond approaches, methods, and techniques is where Niz points, because these require separation from what is. They are used with an intention to get to some place or goal that the body/mind thinks it's not, that it thinks it should get to. But Awareness is always here and always present, and the thought that is employed by the mind is what divides and/or keeps one separate from it.
Being the watcher and/or the doer, as 99.999% of people think of them, are activities and efforts of the ego. Ego needs thought to separate itself and continue the illusion of its existence. Thinking, doing, worrying, being anxious, getting better, etc is the mind on the amazing drug of consensual reality, keeping the separate self "satisfied", while it is waiting for something to happen. All of this is the happening, but you are Awareness.
