The present is where the heart and head connect. To be too lost in the world of the heart. Or to be too lost in the world of the head is to both be disconnected from the circle of the present. When we get ahead of our-self, we lose touch with the present.
In many ways, Vipassana is a way of fine tuning our grasp of the circle below. The circle is made from the scent of neutrality. The more you can smell the scent of neutrality in all of external-sensing and internal-sensing, the more you grasp the circle below.

If the present is a circle, and to all of us whose grasp is in the world of external-sensing, outside of the circle, Vipassana is a way of winding down our consciousness away from the world of external-sensing so that we can grasp the present.
And to all of us whose grasp is in the world of internal-sensing, way deep inside of the circle, Vipassana is a way of 'winding-up' (or winding-out) our consciousness away from the world deep inside of the circle so that we can grasp the subtle nature of the circle.
Vipassana is a means of fine tuning a whole range of qualities needed to grasp the present in a concrete fashion.
The world of Vipassana starts from the gross physicality of Internal-Sensing. And through that process of practice we grasp subtler elements. You have to be soft to master internal nature.Vipassana is that path.
The world of external-sensing is gross by nature. You have to be hard to master external nature. That path is the path of the Aghori
So everyone's path is different. Some are winding down. Others are winding up.
Our spiritual nature is like time, it is very difficult to grasp it's true nature. In the midst of all material contradictions is our spiritual nature. When all the opposite dualities of conflicting impressions of matter peels off, what remains is pure spirituality.
There are many ways to gain at this goal. It is the most natural of what we are. And yet it evades us because of our aversion and craving to that which is beyond the circle. The dualities of material nature keeps us from grasping the subtle nature of the circle. It is only through a continual process of alignment that we can grasp it.
The practice of Anapana breathing allows us to concretely observe the scent of neutrality to be able to use it as a tool. By fine tuning this tool through Vipassana, it becomes a precision tool. It becomes our compass in the path of Vipassana. It allows us to trace the subtle nature of the circle of the scent of neutrality. Deviate to the right too much and we are out of the circle. Deviate to the left too much and we are out of the circle.
