The internal monologue meme is out of my control, & people seem to forget that it's a midtier cognitive capability & not some "mark of the elect." If you read by translating from text to internal monologue- you're a subvocalizationcel. Also NPCs are good & you are a narcissist.

I thought everyone was aware that human cognition wasn't a universal distribution of the same process- that people have different "styles" of cognition that are weighted toward different senses. SOUND = EAR = TRIBAL. Ocular/eye-cognition is much rarer.

Enlightenment in the eastern sense was becoming wholly tactile, that is "one with one's environment" - The Enlightenment in the west was when mass literacy produced mass-internal monologues. Congrats y'all you know how to read, which I do admit is becoming a rarer skill...

That's actually a reductio of the western corruption of the eastern ideal and it's sad

"one with your environment" as an explicitly tactile and local experience would be regarded as yet another subject of clinging. The grasping on to nongrasping and the like are really sticky hurdles to jump over in eastern practice. "Beat Zen" takes these as valid.

A student asked joshu, What about when I'm not taken in by things and I don't exist? Joshu said I call that, "taken in"

Zen is not the norm in eastern religions tho- it's closer to an "avantgarde" buddhism than vast majority of styles.

It's practice (in the legitimate schools) is dialectic rather than meditational, with meditation as a supplement, which is pretty unique worldwide.
