""Then there is the case where a monk has developed tranquillity in tandem with insight" Would it be possible to unpack this statement through descriptions of the practices pursued by this monk?

Step 1: cultivate tranquility (śamatha); Step 2: abide in a state of tranquility, and explore it to cultivate insight (vipaśyanā)

Interestingly, the Yuganaddha Sutta provides three options: 1. first tranquility, then insight (samathapubbaṅgamaṃ vipassanaṃ) 2. first insight, then tranquility (vipassanāpubbaṅgamaṃ samathaṃ) 3. tranquility "in tandem" with insight (samathavipassanaṃ yuganaddhaṃ)

Their "yoking" (yuganaddha) might have been, in part, an inspiration for the development of Yogācāra.

Wondering what is still considered Esoteric and unavailable to us. That Yogacara pointing at function and process is very appealing as a suggested engineering plan for human consciousness/mind/psy. I find the dearth of material concerning attention very interesting.

I think no other element of our conscious experience is more "vital" then the engagement of attention with object. It is a very personal interaction filled with the "sense of self" Manasikaraa Buddhist term that is translated as "attention" or "ego-centric demanding".

In particular, "wise attention" (yoniso manasikāra) conduces toward knowing and seeing things as they actually are (yathābhūta ñāna dassana)—impermanent, imperfect, impersonal.
