Just a quick reply here...
Mario, I'll comment on the post you made the other week asking about 4th jhana 'cause I'm not entirely sure, based on your descriptions there at least, that you're definitely in Equanimity. I'd meant to reply to it earlier but I'll try to get around to it today.
Braxton, welcome back. I don't know if
this article I wrote on jhana would be of any use to you? I've tried to keep the descriptions as phenomenological as possible and to go into a bit more details about how this tends to present itself, hopefully it might clear up at least a few of the basics anyway.
I'm not on skype a lot but feel free to add me (hypenapungra) and drop me a line if you're on.
