The pragmatic Dharma group in Portland is full of good people. Tonight I when to a book club on Daniel Ingram's book Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha.
A fella I met says he spent 7 years in it, he thinks this happened because he was too focused on these Knowledge of Suffering having read the book right before going into a retreat.

I dont know all the details in his case but the story resonates. I've found myself stuck because of limiting mental constructs based on things I've read too.

The way it's written, it's seems like MTCB represents the POI as a never ending cycle which having begun you can never leave but can find relief at the end before the next cycle.

The POI section reads a bit like a stream of consciousness medical reference. And it's useful as a reference but it widely diverges from what a single person might expect to experience.
