Have we been programed by life? Did some"thing" take up residence in this shell of organics so as to take of these questions and undertake the work of becoming?

Could environmental conditioning factors have left behind a program-in-process, with several bugs/glitches yet to be "corrected" in the continuously updating iterations of the code?

Perhaps the defects in our programming represent opportunities. The human organism can be thought of as a factory which, poorly organized and operated functions very inefficiently.

"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field; which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.

Sir, This begs the question "How to care for and cultivate the field so as to produce the most abundant harvest possible?" Is sitting for an hour or two a day in an artificial setting sufficient to effect the transformation sought after? The world needs help!

Are parlor monks equal to the task of day to day engagement required in order to act as a mitigating presence off setting the insanity that has become todays norm? With respect if our interactions become offensive in any way please say so.

There's power in both "doing" and "not-doing" (not killing, not stealing, etc.). So-called "parlor monks" (monastic recluses) might contribute to the off-setting of insanity through abstention from insane activity.

Apologies it was not my intent to offer criticism but to ask if enough is being done both in our individual practices or in our out reach. Is an hour or two sufficient? Each of us has an atmosphere which subtly interacts with those whom we come into contact, alluded to earlier

No criticism detected. Perhaps I can rephrase. By abstaining from adding to the problem, one has mitigated and minimized damage. Such non-action casts unobstrusive ripples into the social atmosphere, influencing others quietly, often unbeknownst to them. Such are my observations.

Parlor monks refers to newly minted meditation industry. Does it seem that the vast majority of consciousness researchers understand consciousness experientially? It does not seem so to me. Machines pretending to be something other defining themselves as conscious agents. IMO

Consciousness research focuses overwhelmingly on measurable outputs. Such quantification and commodification of consciousness (and meditation) is not going to tell us much, if anything, about experience, IMO.

In agreement with the above although the blindness is not limited to the researchers.
