| Understandings, meaningful experiences, or “aha” moments that come about as the result of practice.

This is a broad definition of the word insight that can be used in many situations. The term Insight, referring to a column of the Happiness Grid, has a more specialized definition.

Can be understood as happening on a continuum from surface to deep:

* Surface Insight—you’re looking to satisfy more ordinary happiness conditions. For instance, you figure out how to win at poker.
* Deeper Insight—you’ve begun to understand insight in a broader, more complete way. For instance, the pain you’re experiencing doesn’t need to go away, the sensations just need to move without running into any resistance. Other insights would be clearly seeing how CC&E work together to minimize suffering or how they work together to amplify fulfillment.
* Deep Insight—you discover what it’s like to completely transcend the need for more surface outcomes. For instance, through direct experience you’re released from a sense of separateness. As a result, you realize that getting stuck in a sense of separateness is what causes you to suffer. Other insights include experiential understanding of deep Expansion/Contraction flow, Original Completeness, how Serving From Love is a natural consequence of Oneness, etc.

As with all items on the Happiness Grid, this refers both to the impact of a practice and the impact of other factors such as purposeful action, chance, and so forth. Four levels of Insight are distinguished on the Happiness Grid:

<ol start="4" style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li>You understand yourself in terms of personal identity</li>
<li>You understand yourself in terms of psychological conditioning</li>

|- style="vertical-align:top; text-align:left;"
| '''Definitions'''
|
# '''A Temporary Sensory State:''' The Perception of Formlessness as Form. A temporary perception of Absolute Rest (formlessness) as form. What mainly registers in the senses is Oneness, or Non-separateness, as two fused opposite equal activities of expansion and contraction. Even though there is still the perception of form, the senses are fully engaged in the expanding and contracting activity shaping all experience. There is no sense of a separate self and very little somethingness is perceived in the activity, which can be relatively more restful or more active. The ''Activity'' of Absolute Activity is just a way to say that the senses are perceiving form, as compared to the total formlessness of our primary definition of Absolute Rest. You could say that Absolute Activity is Absolute Rest as deep Expansion/Contraction Flow. In a transcendent state of Absolute Activity, instead of Expansion/Contraction Flow canceling out to no form at all, what registers in consciousness is the complete uniformity of form.

The term is defined by certain key relationships:

* '''Deep, all-encompassing Expansion/Contraction Flow, as opposed to localized Expansion/Contraction Flow.'''
** '''A Unifying Sensory Theme.''' As opposed to Expansion/Contraction experienced as just a ''kind'' of Flow, whether vibratory or ordinary, (e.g., a noticeable pushing out and pulling in, for instance, in your abdomen), Deep Expansion/Contraction Flow means that ''all'' of sensory perception is ''only'' Expansion/Contraction Flow. When that happens in perception there is no longer a ''thing'' called Expansion/Contraction Flow. It’s the way of all experience.
** '''A Spatially Oriented Description of Transcendence.''' Descriptions of E/C Flow tend to highlight the spatial aspects of experience. For example, the effortless expanding and collapsing of the two opposite equal forces that mold all experience cover the whole space of awareness. There isn’t any ''location'' where E/C Flow is not.
* '''The Deepest Phase of ''Perception'' as opposed to ''Expression''.''' When talking aboutthe Absolute, a way to discuss just the perception side of formless form (by contrast, the term Absolute Now includes both perception and expression). Technically, Perception and Expression are both sensory experiences and in transcendence there is no separateness between them. So, depending on what stood out to you, you could use Deep Spontaneity as a synonym for Deep E/C Flow. But for the purpose of gaining clarity, it can be useful to talk about perception and expression independently. Deep E/C Flow (aka, Absolute Activity) is UM’s way of describing how formlessness is fully revealed in the perception of form (bearing in mind that there is no separate ''perceiver'').

<ol start="2" style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li>'''A Deepening Attainment.''' When your baseline of CC&E is consistently high, as a default, the sensory system is operating with much less friction. So Absolute Activity rules perception, whether sensory experience is active or restful. As a result of practice, this happens more consistently.</li>
<li>'''A Sensory Trait: The Theme Underlying All Perception.''' Absolute Activity is ever present, at least as a sensory potential. So, any perception of Expansion/Contraction at any phase of experience can be understood as accessing the base level trait of perception, even just as an incomplete glimpse.</li></ol>

Absolute Now

| '''Term'''

|- style="vertical-align:top; text-align:left;"
| '''Definitions'''
|
# '''A Temporary State: Form as Formlessness.''' What mainly registers in your senses is non-separateness of form, even as form is being experienced. A single term that covers any way you may try to describe form reflecting formlessness (see the graph in Benefits—Absolute). A catchall UM term mainly used to connect the SHF Now technique to all the related UM terms for talking about the Absolute, including Absolute Activity (aka, Deep Expansion/Contraction Flow), Deep Spontaneity, and Absolute Rest. Sometimes Absolute experience is reflected by the senses in a way that seems to highlight the perception of spatial non-separateness, which the term Absolute Activity points to. Sometimes the Absolute is reflected in the senses in a way that seems to highlight the effortless just happening of experience, which the term deep Spontaneity points to. Whether you’re aware of it or not, always within and beyond any reflection of the Absolute (and all experience) is Absolute Rest—formlessness. Absolute Now covers any way form may reflect the formless, including how the Absolute may also be reflected in the theme of timelessness, as in Now with a capital N (see below), or other absences (for instance, the absence of a sense of fixed identity—No Self).
# '''A Temporary State: Time as Formlessness.''' As a reflection of the Absolute, the present moment is experienced free from the construct of time. Now, with a capital N. When subtle sensory interference that causes the solidified impression of time drops away, you can experience being free from the constraints of a timeline. This happens on the surface of your awareness. As a result, you can come to know time as a useful construct and nothing more. When you perceive time as formlessness, what you mainly perceive is timelessness—no construct of time. You might experience that as ''everything is always just happening '''now''''' or '''''next''' is just a story the mind creates'', or ''there is no '''before''' because you can’t hold on to experience''. What is reflected in the senses is the absence of time as a thing. Timelessness, deep Spontaneity, and Absolute Activity all point to the same freedom from form. They are different ways to describe the Absolute, based on how the Absolute is being reflected in the senses.
# '''A Sensory Trait.''' Non-separateness is a trait that gets uncovered through raising your baseline CC&E. With enough CC&E, it becomes clear that solidified, ''ordinary'' reality is a temporary (though chronic) state caused by sensory interference. Due to conditioning, the constructed stories of the mind are repeatedly overvalued and reinforced. But that’s just a force of habit. Since non-separateness is a sensory trait, in every moment of your ordinary day there is the chance to discover or uncover the extraordinary. '''''Now''''' is always available, whether you’re able to access it or not. When you’re more free to fully disappear into every experience you have and every activity you do—because your self is not a solid, separate thing—your surface awareness lines up with deep experience because nothing gets in the way. All of sensory experience right at the surface of awareness becomes the one basic activity—the activity of two fused opposites—which some people call the loving activity. All sensory systems have this hidden potential because non-interference is a basic trait of the system.
# '''A Deepening Attainment.''' The process of integrating transcendence into the dynamic activity of everyday life. Part of this is experiential—you detect the Absolute more clearly and consistently throughout your day. Another important part of this is the ability to ''Manifest''. More and more, you manifest the dynamic activity of Absolute Now spontaneously. It’s effortlessly expressed through you. It just happens. As you discover the underlying trait of non-separateness in all phases of experience, and over the years and decades of training, your everyday experience tends to shift to more consistently clear, surface-level awareness of non-separateness (Absolute Now/Rest), which you can access more and more, by choice. In daily life, contact with the Absolute is mixed with more solidified experience, and more solidified experience comes to be perceived through the lens of human positivity, or love (whatever word rings true for you). Meaning, there is no preference because all sensory experience is loved. This affects the way you manifest in the world. As a result of loving all experience you manifest human positivity more fully. More and more you become the Magic Robot.
# '''A Focus Range.''' Direct Pointing (Point) techniques may take formless Spontaneity—sensory activity reflecting the Absolute—as their Focus Range. You could define the focus range of the SHF Now family of techniques and the Auto family of techniques as deep E/C Flow, and/or Deep Spontaneity, in Perception or Expression. (Typically, the focus range of these techniques are defined in a more surface way so they can be accessible for anyone to practice them and as sensitizing exercises for deep experience.) Defining the focus range as Absolute Now means you would need to be able to contact the Absolute by choice (see Definition 4). A Trainer may choose to emphasize this deeper context of the Absolute as the Focus Range of SHF Now, or the more surface focus range, depending on your specific audience.
# '''The Deepest Phase of Spontaneity.''' Deep Spontaneity is a way to describe the effortless just happeningness of experience that goes beyond just Perception or just Expression. At a more surface level, UM tends to tie the word Spontaneity to Expression. At the level of Absolute Now—the deepest phase of experience in which form reflects formlessness—what UM calls Perception and Expression are fused. As a framework for training your skills, Perception and Expression fall under the bigger umbrella of Sensory Experience and they’re only divided up for the purpose of exploring the two contrasting sides of Sensory Input and Sensory Output, independently. Perception and Expression are disentangled from each other so you can selectively focus on them. On an experiential level, there can come a point when, at the surface of conscious awareness, there’s no separation between what UM calls Perception and Expression, because there’s clear non-separateness between all sensory experience. So even though on the surface spontaneity is connected to Expression, at the deepest level, Spontaneity points to non-separateness of all Sensory Experience, and how Perception and Expression are one and the same. From that perspective, the term Deep Spontaneity can also be considered a synonym for deep Expansion/Contraction Flow.

| '''Just Note New/Gone'''
|- style="vertical-align:top; text-align:left;"
| '''Definitions'''
| A Special Exercise in the Transcend quadrant which can be thought of from two main points of view:

# It’s commonly a warm-up for SHF Now because it can be easier to practice. Focuses on two complementary kinds of split-second Expansion/Contraction flow:

* '''New:''' The instant you become aware of an experience—whether the experience is beginning and you notice that as it happens, or your attention makes fresh contact with an experience that is already happening.
* '''Gone:''' The instant you become aware that an experience is partially or completely ending, whether you’re clear about what the experience is or not.

<ol start="2" style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li>It’s also a Direct Pointing technique which takes the Absolute as its focus range. While Expansion/Contraction is Space based (Contour of E/C Flow), New/Gone is time based (beginnings and endings happen ''Now'').</li></ol>

Highlights the Absolute in the following ways:

* New points to what experience is like when there’s no friction in the sensory system (Absolute Activity). Gone points to how experience comes together and resolves into nothingness (Absolute Rest).
* New and Gone are always available, which points to Timelessness. If experience is always starting and stopping at the same time, then there is no timeline. It’s always (Absolute) Now.
* When New is continuous, that’s another way to understand Expansion. When Gone is continuous, that’s another way to understand Contraction.

Absolute Rest

{| class="wikitable"
|- style="vertical-align:top; text-align:left;"
| '''Term'''
| '''Absolute Rest'''
|- style="vertical-align:top; text-align:left;"
| '''Definitions'''
| Five closely related ways of saying the same thing from a different perspective:

# '''A Temporary State: Formlessness Beyond Space/Time.''' What registers in sensory perception is the absence of all form, including your own, and without even light. You're not asleep and there’s clear awareness of no space/time, self/world, at all. Compared to relative experience (from active to restful), the difference is that conscious awareness is in full contact with complete nothingness. If you experience only light or only gray without form, that’s on the scale toward Absolute Rest but is still considered the restful side of Absolute Activity. The deepest end of the scale is void of even those hints of form in sensory perception. What we call Absolute Rest is the senses reflecting consciousness without form—at the edge of the total disappearance of the self. There is at once a sense of total nothingness and also total potential—Nothingness contains all possibilities, unmanifested. When the self fully disappears from sensory perception there is no self to perceive the disappearance. During the temporary transcendent state of Absolute Rest, this disappearance of form could last a split second or longer. What matters is that whether entering into or coming out of nothingness, the complete disappearance cuts across all experience and clearly registers at the surface of awareness.
# '''A Temporary State: Formlessness as Form.''' The formless rest in and beyond transcendent sensory perception and motor expression (i.e., the deep phase spontaneity, expansion/contraction flow, and timelessness of Absolute Now). Absolute Rest is not separate from Absolute Now although the two may seem to alternate. In the hierarchy of UM’s terms for the Absolute, Absolute Rest is the main term. The term Absolute Now is nested under Absolute Rest. The term Absolute Activity is nested under Absolute Now. Deep Spontaneity and Deep Expansion/Contraction Flow are themes in Absolute Now. But, whatever you call it, and from whatever angle you approach it, there is only one Absolute. Absolute Rest is not separate. Absolute Rest can be thought of as the origin of Absolute Now because it points to the highest degree of formlessness. Absolute Rest can be thought of ''as'' Absolute Now because there is no spectrum of Absoluteness. It’s all One.
# '''A Basic Sensory Trait.''' Sensory Non-separateness, whether you’re aware of it or not. Even if you aren’t experiencing it consciously, sensory non-separateness is the origin of and even the substance (i.e., non-substance) of all sensory experience, whether more ordinary or extraordinary. The discovery of Absolute Rest is part of human potential because it is nothing more than sensory perception and expression experienced with a high degree of CC&E. The nature of sensory perception and expression doesn’t change. Your ability to recognize what has always been changes. So, whether you personally are aware of it or not, the ability to contact Absolute Rest is a sensory possibility for human beings, generally. It’s always there, waiting to be revealed. The ordinary is the Absolute.
# '''A Deepening Attainment.''' The nothingness known more consistently through deepening CC&E. Your conscious awareness of and access to Absolute Rest, based on the degree and consistency of your clear experience with Absolute Rest, generally as a result of training. Whether an experienced meditator is intentionally in contact with Absolute Rest or not, Absolute Rest is more consistently and profoundly informing an advanced meditator’s everyday experience. And, due to momentum practice, an advanced meditator is more in contact with Absolute Rest, overall, as compared with someone who does not meditate. So the degree and consistency of Absolute Rest is greater. In other words, there is a deepening spiral of Absolute Rest in conscious awareness sometimes talked about as more zeros or deeper zeros. The deepening and broadening of your access to nothingness means that nothingness is more richly and completely known. Yesterday's nothingness is viewed as today’s deepening experience because today's clear depth of nothingness was not accessible yesterday. Your learning from contact with Absolute Rest never stops and most importantly, it positively affects how you manifest in the world—how fulfilling your life is, how fully you love, and how effectively you act.
# '''A Focus Range.''' The Focus Range of Turn Back, for example. Direct Pointing (Point) techniques may take as their Focus Range the origin of and insubstantiality of sensory experience. You can’t purposely hold your attention on Absolute Rest. Absolute Rest holds you—whether as complete formlessness, or as Absolute Now. And the perception, ''I’m directing my attention toward Nothingness,'' is itself made of Nothingness. So is the impression of a thing called attention, or skills called CC&E, or the Self who is doing anything, for that matter. But, a technique may still call Absolute Rest the Focus Range of the technique, whether you’re able to clearly access it or not (i.e., whether you clearly know yourself as Nothingness/Non-separateness or not). A technique may still say: ''Absolute Rest is what you’re meant to find,'' as the description of the range of what you’re focusing on.

# Two complementary and contrasting ways to strengthen your ability to focus on what you choose. Different techniques emphasize each type. Since both types share the purpose of concentration skill development, with heightened CC&E the distinction between them may become less important.

'''Sustained Focus (or Concentration):''' Trying to maintain focus on something, whether small or large, for as long as you can, or as long as the object of focus lasts. Typically used in the two UM contact strategies of Even Coverage (holding attention in a set location for as long as you can, such as in Feel Good or a special exercise like following the breath) and Systematic Inventory (maintaining steady contact across the extent of a space, such as in body sweeping). May also be used in Free Float, for instance, you could stay with the sound of a plane flying by for as long as it lasts. (Note ’til Gone is an example of Sustained Concentration.)

'''Momentary Focus (or Concentration):''' Focusing your attention on anything, whether small or large, for anywhere from a split second to 30 seconds or longer, depending on things like your natural patterns and what you’re focusing on. You can have an experience of deeply focused attention that may also be quite brief. Commonly associated with the UM contact strategy of Free Float, builds concentration through repetitions and is the basis of Noting (such as in See Hear Feel). May also be used in Systematic Inventory (for instance, a special exercise like noting body locations).

<ol start="2" style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li>A way to describe different lengths of focus as they appear in life when you’re not intentionally developing concentration. For instance, rapid and precise shifts in focus, common in the martial arts, can be thought of as momentary. Being absorbed in an activity over an extended length of time can be thought of as sustained.</li></ol>
