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?

When originally creating this model, I included cessation as just one of the things that can happen with awareness. Then later I realized it was more logical to present cessation at the end, since its sort of the end state of awareness. 1/

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/

Models are weird. I think I said “this model only applies to vipassana practice” about a million times, but people delete the framing. Or just read the list without any of the caveats. Cessation is interesting, but is not the ultimate goal. 3/

I don’t even believe in ultimate goals. Spiritual practice has no end point or final destination. AFAIC, it’s an exploration that can become ever more liberating, enlivening, and loving for self, others, and world. 4/
