Clarity often comes in waves

At least in my case. I'll be meditating and then I'll just start thinking about something (lost in thought) and I will keep a very faint idea somewhere in the back of my mind that I'm sitting here in order to meditate, but I'll be just thinking about something. And then I will suddenly realize I'm not supposed to be lost in thought and I become clear headed again. And every time I "wake up" from being lost in thought I become more clear minded than I was in the previous moments of clarity.

Do you experience the same thing?

Yes, I have also noticed this rhythm when chatting about psychedelics. I experience the waves and the increasing ability to remain present as I return to my breath.

Yes I view the meditation like my perception dilates, and focuses in and out of presence like a lense.

From unclear to clear, to trapped to free, to unfocused to focused perception. :)

But you forgot to add that each consequent moment of clear, free, focused is more clear/free/focused than the previous one. This does not always happen, but when I am meditating properly, it does.
