When one in Jhana states it's impossible to think about anything. Only pure awareness remains. Then how vipassana can be applied when one can't think at all? Or maybe there is something else besides simply being pure awareness?
My guess would be: pure awareness has the abilty to see things the way they are. And that it is not separated from the experience itself. Daniel Ingram surely would have an answer on this topic. :-)
You do Vipassana *after* you come out of Jhana, using the mind's wonderful concentration, enjoying the sukkha that comes from it, which allows you to see things directly without "I", "me" or "mine". In my experience, insights arise on their own when you leave jhana states.
