on PAGE TWENTY SEVEN, we are reminded that the Second Noble Truth is an insight which then requires application of the Third Noble Truth which Sayadaw puts in terms of the cessation of the links in dependent origination. Also, seeing those links, and 'the momentary cessation of formations.' I consider insight, the antidote to ignorance. I place ignorance in this plane, this narrative, this story. I worry that there is nothing more. I suggest to myself that enlightenment must be only a thought, and not transformative. I see so little of value that proceeds from the mind. I wonder what qualities mentality and materiality might have in common, or the link that they have. It's just my partiality to things that seem more permanent, even the quick sunset seems to promise many years of sunset. It is just a little more steady and longlasting than my mind.Seeing the way things work begins to strip the cloak off of reality.
What is out there beyond the mind? Wait, beyond what?
