This is a great point about enlightenment. It’s sort of like an addiction to just sitting down, doing nothing, and philosophizing without accomplishing anything. I’d like to think action is necessary. And thanks for explaining perspective shift with a diagram, diagrams are awesome! My physics professor always emphasized diagrams for forces, but I think they should be emphasized for all things. For example, diagrams are helpful in programming, even though they are not emphasized much in that discipline.

The diagram helps me understand what perspective shift is, however, I think accomplishing perspective shift requires a lot of time and contemplation. It’s easier to understand than it is to do. I’m sure most don’t have the capacity to accomplish it.
