I understand your meaning, how this appears to function, what the
intention and expectation is, but this itself seems to continually
reform the trap from which it seeks release.
"Give" and "get" sound an awful lot like two of 'the three poisons'. The
third of course being the notion of a giver/getter! Mara loves this
sort of samsaric mindfulness - so full of intent and expectation - so
self driven/self-sustaining/self-improving.
Such 'insight wisdom', if a hard won attainment, is just a product of
'ordinary mind'.
Such 'insight wisdom', if a choiceless/effortless realization of
suchness, is also recognition of 'ordinary mind' as 'Buddha mind'.
Nothing gained, as nothing lacks.
Please, don't take my word for it.
