As you should. Skepticism is not a problem. After all,
it is very easy to get to view 'simply sitting' as the
essence of the pursuit of the 'very limits of our
intellectual ability'.
The essence of the Buddha's teaching is skepticism. He
taught us to examine every view. Be very skeptical of
anything that may occur, treat it as a dogma right off
the bat, and examine it thoroughly. This very act of
examining is the key that opens the doors of
liberation.

Thanks. I am now heading into the meeting room, and
will try and address your request a bit later.
Cheerios!
