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?

You do indeed. Which is fantastic. I suppose I'd say this: do you really think that these issues are well-recognized in the wider PD community? Is your sense that the people on the DO or Reddit have thought them through in relation to their own emotional well-being?

it "sensate experience." Yes, enlightenment doesn't mean what you think and we recognize that we're imposing meaning onto exprerience with this practice. But that's a post-hoc additional to the conceptual system, not one of its historical premises.
