Chapman seems to be arguing the vajrayana ideal is more like this - a well rounded, fully human renaissance person. How theologically or scripturally accurate this is, I have no idea, but it looks better than living annihilation.

True "peace & equanimity" is more like having a mind-body like an F1 car

Equanimity is very specifically not dissociation as it presupposes a pliable awake knowingness, a presence of awareness, plastic and open. Ataraxia.

I dunno if that is how most people would use the term.

If you're referring to equanimity. When equanimity is considered one of the seven factors of enlightenment, as a factor it presupposes the existence of six other factors, which I glossed in the previous way. Mine is a creative gloss but it's based in direct experience.

Another way to put it would be: if there were to be an equanimity that is not dissociation, it would have dynamic and awake, present and open qualities.

I don't generally read "equanimity" in a way that relates technically to any traditional or reconstructed Buddhist practice. I just read it in its ordinary meaning of the word. :)

I don't recall ever hearing someone use the word non-technically – and anyway the non-technical meaning is boring!
