If time and space don't exist or don't exist as the agency of the
creation, then yes- all placebos. However, immersing ourselves in time
and space as tools to explore self realization, then techniques are
just that, shortcuts. If I can wait three weeks to drive a nail
through a pine two by four with my hand, no technique needed,
otherwise I'll use a hammer.
