those curious tangles, it's fun to poke at them (gently).
@Aron_Adler @viemccoy foreground-background inversion: imagine that the entire material world, except for highly specific tangles within human brains, is effectively enlightened.

fetters inquiry doesn't replace meditation btw. having gotten to centerlessness through fetters, there's few things i want to do more now than meditate, since deepening/refining attention now affects my whole experience.

i like this thread btw, worth reading if your reaction to some of my posting is "this is too fast / what are the tradeoffs to going fast / etc".
