I really enjoyed it. So straightforward, no metaphysics, no unnecessary complexity.

So glad. Yeah, the whole point is practicality and simplicity of use. Empirically based.

Looking forward to your discussion of cessations with Daniel. As I mentioned when we talked about this in person, this is not part of the meditation systems I’ve practiced. However, it’s a covered in detail in the bardo teachings. I’m curious whether there’s commonality there.

I would guess that it's exactly the same phenomenon, but would be interested and open to learning that it's something different. There's a lot of confusion around similar terms meaning different things in these realms.

Is there an explicit equation in Theravada of cessations in meditation with the stages of the death and rebirth experiences?

The downside of this is that people think I model cessation as the only goal or the one true awakening; the culmination of practice, which I don’t. It’s just one of the many interesting & powerful things that can happen. I think I’m pretty clear about that in the podcast. 2/

Ah, yes, to be clear, I didn’t think you were saying it was the goal (and hope I didn’t suggest I did). It seems like an interesting thing that I’m not familiar with, so I am curious about whether it’s completely unlike anything I know.

That may not be answerable outside the experience of the practice itself (which I don’t have) nor on twitter!
