Marsha:
There certainly is value in analysis, and I doubt that many Buddhists would
disagree with this. Reflection, analysis and re-assessment has its place. But
there is also great value in dropping all the preconceived, mechanical
assumptions used in analysis to allow for 'spur of the moment' - the
spontaneous - the fresh and new - the dynamic to emerge. When the "prejudice
against 'spur of the moment' Dynamic Quality is removed new worlds of reality
open up." - LILA. While the static is useful and human beings are dependent
on such patterns, static patterns of value ARE the "cognitive biases". What
else could the be? Better not to get boxed into an either/or corner.
