sure, trust the momentum of your own experience and what you percieve to be the essence of your being, and don't get hung up on a teaching or a belief about the nature of reality. as for how you would know, i doubt it would be something that would escape your attention.(smile)

i dont think its an issue of seeing, or catching your attention. its a question in having faith that its not just your own imagination, vs. really seeing.

this is an analogy i have found that seems to help...

when you are on your computer, or laptop especially - and you execute a command such as telling your computer to run a program, you can feel the hard drive start spinning - its looking in its own database to pull the required files. when this happens, you hear it, and you feel it.

our brains, are much like hard drives. we have electric pulses that transmit through the nerves to pull the information. so when we think, our minds are constantly 'spinning' - this is why when you think even more on complicated tasks you can get mentally tired.
but when you think, you can feel your brain actively. if you pay attention, you can 'hear' it as well. what you feel and hear when you think is stemmed from your whole brain, not the pineal...

when you go into a meditative state, you are to shut down your mind, your thoughts, and relax... and you notice how everything is quiet? inside your head, not just outside. pay attention to the 'sound' of the quiet and compare it to the 'sound' of when you are thinking. you will then be able to tell the difference between the two.

so that when you next see something, or know something, if you hear or feel your brain working, it most likely is indeed coming from you and not an outer source.

whereas if you dont hear it or feel it, then logically its not you coming up with/compiling the information. and thus, its from an outside source.

this is where faith comes in, because once youre out of the meditative state and start analyzing and thinking - and as time passes... you tend to question yourself. so when you meditate and receive the knowledge and also receive the 100% certainty, remember that feeling, and pull it up for when you begin to doubt.
