It’s fascinating to me that that’s your interpretation of his response. Perhaps I should change my handle to SpeechlessSubject. :)

Hey, it’s not everyday someone takes the time to thoroughly respond, with such care, to what, on the surface, seemed a fairly obtuse critique.

That’s interesting. I certainly agree with you about the time and effort. Obtuse, not so much. I’ve heard from quite a few people since making that post who’ve said (my paraphrase here): “Yes, those styles of meditation made me even more alexithymic than I was before I began.”

Yes, it’s a fair point, but also an old one for some of us. I realized this point around a decade ago and changed course in how I conceived of and taught dharma & meditation as a result.

Where have such modifications received attention in writing? Are there references you can point me to?

Start with http://heartofinsight.guide and check out the six ways to meditate Meta-model or the phases of Insight model. Both address these limitations and others and have been in use for several years publicly.

It’s interesting. From a quick glance (and I will read more), my concern would be whether there is an adequate model of the personality that can be used to determine which practices are most appropriate for an individual at a given time. How does that work in this system?

That has always seemed to me to be something that is under-theorized in Buddhism.... more than anger/greed/delusion personality types.
