How does that help you feel sane and well-adjusted and stuff, which is pretty much the current goal?
I'm happy that people are starting to question whether valorising different goals should lead to very different trainings. Although, maybe the cognitive frame, cultural orientation, etc, matters a lot.

FWIW, most of my meditative heroes were either a bit mad or didn't care if they were: Jigme Lingpa, Dudjom Lingpa, Ikkyu, Trungpa, Patrul, Khenpo Gangshar, and so on...

Those guys ate my heroes too!

I think a big part of instability is due to cognitive dissonance, two cultural spheres quaking each other d/t inability to operate meta-systemically at a sufficient depth. One of the reasons why you see extended dukkha-nana difficulties in lay Theravadins and less so in monastics
