Yes, precisely! Well explained, Don.

I am re-reading Sri Aurobindo's "Life Divine", in combination with "Majjhima Nikaya", going back to the sutras, and the striking similarities in the strands of thought between SA's and MN's sutras is quite astounding. Behind the dense, slow text of Life Divine are the keys to understanding each text mutually. I never looked at them like this, and this provoked this set of posts.

I will look for and read your "Yoga psychology ..." text presently.
