[MD] Buddhist dialectic

[MarshaV]

Hi Joe,

Yes, "But even more taboo than holding a view that is logically inconsistent is holding a view that goes against direct experience." 

"The purpose of mystic meditation is not to remove oneself from experience but to bring one's self closer to it by eliminating stale, confusing, static, intellectual attachments of the past. "
          (LILA, Chapter 9) 

“Introspective observation is what we have to rely on first and foremost and always. I regard the belief [in introspection] as the most fundamental of all the postulates of Psychology” 
    (W. James, 1890)
