One more thing.
I find Dvd7 med #4 good for awareness meditation. Do that first or end your meds with #4, then abide in pure awareness for the amount of minutes you like doing.
From Namkhai Norbu, dzogchen master
There are the turnings of the wheel in Buddhism.
As for any split, I don't see any, it is a matter of Destiny / affinity.
One thing I have learned by sitting everyday doing nothing is to let the mind do its thing and just watch it by not reacting or following stories.
Also being verbally quiet and let it air out until there is no reaction left in the body-mind.
This is undoing the do-er which itself is an object in awareness.
