I want to do it gently. Is that possible?

When I meditate on the 'I am', I get in a space where the 'reality' (?) is just experienced, as it is,without the opinions about how it is. It just is, and that is liberating. The mind is the one who makes things difficult; the one who is saying - i like this experience, I want more of this, and less of that, and that is complicating the sense of being - it becomes burdened by opinions, desires and fears. So when mind is shut, the world is good just as it is. 

Now; the point of different kinds of meditation is to shut down the mind in different ways: through mantra, or focusing, or anything else. That is why experience of the world is lighter when you meditate and it is refreshing. Because mind is not interviening. BUT it is non abiding. So you dont really get anything, you just mask it. On the other hand, the point of spiritual autolisys is to unmask this mind; to tear it apart, see through it and understand that it is just a concept, not real, and most certanly not you, so its opinions become unimportant, and that is why the experience is abiding. And the liberation is absoulte, and not just momentary.

And it lasts for some time because there are a lot of layers 'you' have to lose, so it can not happen over night, and it is hard because you have to anihilate 'yourself', or who you all your life thought you were.
