Leo, you should read...

Seeing That Frees.

This book replaces even Not Knowing for me as the most profound book I've found on enlightenment.  If you haven't read it, I think you need to.  As evidenced in some of your arguments with Frank Yang, for example, I get the impression [though acknowledge I don't know] that you have neglected the "machine code" level of enlightenment in favor of the grand fireworks of psychedelics.  As profound and helpful as your insights are from those experiences, you yourself state that if your epistemology isn't 100% correct, neither is ANYTHING else you think you know.  I hope your self-assuredness doesn't stop you from open-mindedly considering that perhaps you are missing something important at the very foundation of self and reality.  You have said you prioritize "understanding" over the elimination of suffering in your work...  I think this is actually a somewhat ironic thing to say.  What if true Understanding implies Freedom, and until you have it, your epistemology actually fails to connect to Absolute Reality?  I'm implying something profound without stating it, as I think that is best discovered on your own.

We're all in this illusion together, and my aim is solely to find the deepest Truth, as I'm convinced yours is as well.  Much appreciation for everything you do, you have been a tremendous help in my own journey.
