it brings balance to our perception of sensory and mental events. Every sensory and mental event has three parts: arising, presence, and ceasing. Most of us are aware of arising and presence, but we are seldom aware of ceasing. In other words, our experience of sensory and mental events is unbalanced—we often see the coming but seldom the going. By noticing gone, you restore perceptual balance, thus moving toward seeing things as they really are.
