Best experience ever. It is not only possible but there are also many people since the dawn of recorded history who can attest to it. When we see the world without imputing meaning and overlaying personal preferences on a setting, we experience it fresh and wholesome, as it has always been, without us really noticing. Not bringing personality into a moment doesn't imply that there is no longer any awareness. It only means that there is no personally slanted awareness, which makes the experience itself clear as daylight. The body knows how to react to the different stimuli in the environment, based on its' experience and there does not have to be a directing personality involved for there to be clear and direct awareness of the setting, including the body.

Very interesting and deep, although I don't see how to turn this "personali
ty" off. Even as a child I had a personality and experiences. Just to walk, one has to expect the ground hitting under foot. I agree with your analysis, I just don't see how it is possible to turn our expectations off as completely as you've described them. Must be an awesome experience!
