17:24 - cultural background must always be taken into consideration in our maps - this is the insight postmodernism gives us
17:30 - cultural backgrounds evolve (in stages)
20:35 - nondual awareness is always already present
20:42 - that's why you can't attain it, you are fully aware of it right now; it's called the gateless gate
20:55 - why practice? practice exhausts the mind that can't see this
21:31 - if any Buddhist teacher tells you that stages are an idea from the gaining mind, they have it half right (there's nothing to attain, but you still have to practice, and practice unfolds in stages)
22:20 - structure stages and state stages are different
22:30 - the incorrect way of fitting them together was to stack the psychic - subtle - causal - nondual states on top of the psychological structure stages (actually the transpersonal states can occur at any stage)
22:51 - why do post-centaur structures get mistaken for the transpersonal states? because those structures permanently objectify the transpersonal states, so it looks like a person is going through those states
23:44 - you have to be somebody before you can be nobody
23:49 - that's true for structures, but you can have a peak experience of any state at any level
24:00 - but structure peak experiences are impossible
26:43 - metamind permanently objectifies the subtle state
26:55 - overmind permanently objectifies the causal state
28:27 - not having any gaining ideas is a gaining idea
58:59 - Wilber's work is a map only
