But maybe what the student has jumped off of has something to do with the jumping-off being able to trigger the realization. > That is, if one analyzes the hundreds of stories of seekers > who had their first serious realization shortly after walking > away from a long-term spiritual trip, the process may have > more to do with the "walking away" than it does with what > has been walked away from. You'd probably have to do a much larger analysis of seekers who left a trip to see what *percentage* of them then had realizations compared to the percentage who left a *different* trip and then had realizations. If the percentages of realizations after leaving various trips were roughly the same, that would be evidence for your case. If one or more trips had significantly higher percentages, then you'd want to think about giving some credit to those specific trips themselves.
