    • Richard Baker-Roshi: Awakening is an acceident, practice makes you accident prone
    • ref to a Rota essay! How cool. Barrier of Meaning essay, an conversation with Ulam.
      • Seeing is always a seeing-as
    • JFM going on about the imaginal, I agree with him but do not understand what point he thinks he is making. Who thinks that imagination in some sense is not a vital part of cognition?
    • Karma as habit, canalization, rather then revenge of fate.
    • JFM: Enlightenment as the acausal (? skeptical but OK)
    • Anything can happen, some moment of grace or horror...something about this theme of arbitrary acausality rubs me the wrong way. I can't say why. The world is what it is, there's a great deal of causality and things do in fact evolve according to something like laws. This emphasis on anomalies.
