Main problem with the "Jhana" thing is not that people are learning techniques to manipulate their experience. The problem is that this is being sold *in absence* of a coherent Buddhist (or any) view of the basic problems of mortal life and worldly awareness. It would not be hard

does this pass the sniff test though? if it's meant at the level of physical actions, sure, might be the case, but for the most part, happy and suffering folks have very different mental moves they make an easy example is overthinking and meaning-giving

to a much larger extent than tpot does it, emotional work and reactivity can be handled with a focus on separating physical sensations from stories some 80% of the time, focus on separation and then much later dive into those tangled stories that don't unravel w/out therapy

you may think aversion has a purpose, it helps you move, it’s fuel to keep doing. and then you drop it and realize you just do things just as much, maybe more, without it, and you feel a bit cheated. you mean getting stuff done and suffering are not connected?

“No-self” is a common idea in Buddhism. In Chinese it is 无我 (wú wǒ), “without I” or “lacking me” or “non-I” or “I-lessness”. I/me is also closer to “self” in Chinese, so “non-self” is a common translation.

a LOT-LOT of advice on the internet, and i'm even excluding here our bubble on Twitter, is given by people suffering tremendously and who are amazingly deluded but bcuz some have trappings of success, many will lend their ears and nod in agreement

doubt is likely the biggest hindrance for 80% of those on the path and it can take the form of “doubt it can be easy”, “doubt it can feel this good” or “doubt i can have it with my (special) suffering” something to consider

not a tool for deep shadow work, but a 'meditation' with a focus on separating what's physical sensation and what's mental narrative in an emotion does wonders if you start small, with trivial peeves, you can build considerable space between the 2 + have confidence to feel them

can an enlightened one/arhat still have kids in your 'path's view'? if not, is it because of karma? and if's because of karma, what would that karma be exactly be if there's no self/no other? i'm kinda curious in exploring this one, so happy to listen, even 'tiss blasphemy'!

doing a big think here, but the way to get NSE/stream entry and mby even reducing reactivity by a whole lot at scale is ... on-demand video courses/content with enough redundancies and edge-cases most of the 1-1s i've done lately more-or-less follow the same structure

will likely do a scrappy v0.5 in the next week or so by recording a 'mock-up guidance call' so no one's 1-1 is public and then split the video samurai style and upload to Youtube will probably ask for 2-3 testers for this after i got it made, curious how it'll go

there are no emotions. none, zero, zilch of course, there are sensations and contractions in the body which we reify and label as something but as something i can "shamefully" admit, sometimes this labelling fails and you think yourself sad when you've merely missed lunch

i've regretted many of the things i did, or didnt do, up until around 29, basically last year and what made it a non-issue? realizing the past is merely a thought-now, those situations converged to now and it's a lie to say 'i'd be happier if things would have been different'

yer not gonna like this... but the alienation is self-inflicted the 'superior' spiritual interests are put above the mundane 'mindless' of their everyday life try to meet them where they are, you'll be pleasantly surprising if you're curious about their experience most folks

well, in regards to jhana discourse, and length of path is general is seems to me the biggest pain some even advanced meditator feel is... that they wasted so much more time than was needed naturally, they start defending that pain, even unconsciously, with complex arguments

one of the worst narratives we tend to believe is “it’s going to be worth it because it was hard” and it s bad bcuz we come to associate hard things with eventual payoff and, in case of the path, with the expectation of it really being hard so we find subtle ways to make it so

many pointers from deep-path become infohazards when someone is pre-path for example, “there is no body” it means simply “what you thought as a solid ‘body’ is merely a cluster of sensations you were overlaying on a mental body-image”, but can cause weird reactions in 1st form

once you get the confidence you can feel most emotions (and here i mean sensations only), attachments and aversions don't feel so threatening to explore

this math of 'how much better are things at different stages of awakening' is always tricky... mostly bcuz you'll forget really quickly how bad it was beforehand and just enjoy the new baseline

@bastard_brian I think those two are kind of hard to separate. Also the time aspects is helping a lot of the math. Like if someone does jhana 1 30m a day compared to this. This is 16hrs a day and maybe 10-50x better than j1? So ~25x (better) * 32x (time) = ~1000x or so

on the path, dissolving the solidity of identity is a lot like passing thru the states of aggregation you start as solid, a bulk of identity, a seeming Self then you become liquid, just a bunch of aggregate processes then you becomes gaseous, so rarified it's not even there,

trivially easy once you’ve lowered your own suffering to be an involuntary a-hole and start saying stuff like “the path takes what it takes” and “you shoudnt rush on the path” that’s quite rich coming from someone who s not in that moment walking on cinders
