What are best existing secular explanations of Buddhist three characteristics / which assumptions your brain learns are untrue when you do insight meditation? Writing something and want to see what's already been done. @Meaningness @misen__ @Failed_Buddhist @joogipupu @_awbery_

Replying to @xuenay @Meaningness and
Interesting question. I look forward to reading what you come up with. I don’t really have much to say on top of what has been said by those better read than myself, but I’d suggest not taking any Buddhist system too seriously, as a teacher once said to me...(1)

...’any explanation - whether from Shakyamuni, or some Dzogchen yogin - will always be somewhat in inverted commas.’ We can say certain things, but the answer is never quite coherent, never quite accurate...but that perhaps is preferable to not saying anything.(2)

The only other thinngs which come to mind immediately: • I’ve never read a secular account that I found any more elucidating than that of the weirdo mystical shmystical folk. • This misses your point, but; three marks/four-seals doesn’t say there is ‘no self’. • good luck!
