Thus, the verse from @maker 2.11 in the Mahā Satipatthāna Sutta is intended from the perspective of a Paṭisotagāmi.
If one is aware of the sequence above, one can train the mind to recognize purana and nava kaya as it happens. One then sees through the “magic trick”. Of course, all this only makes sense after one has attained sotapatti. In addition, a good understanding of abhidhamma is very helpful.
For example, I can perceive that the PS step “vedana paccaya tanha” is being reached and that the mind is virtually forced to move on to upadana. Then I practice preventing that progression. Sometimes it works, sometimes I still go with the flow.
