The link is interesting, in that for me it highlights how much difference there is between advice geared towards one attainment vs. advice geared towards another.
For example,
Sam Watts:
]But (of course you knew there had to be a “but.” There’s always a “but.”), the completeness of disintegration is not the end of your journey. This is perhaps the most common misunderstanding on the path of awakening. The finality of disintegration is not to be denied, so the newly awakened is not deluded. And yet, there is a tendency of the newly awakened to try to take up residence in the All, to plant their feet in the Abyss, as though their personality could be an adequate expression of the ineffable Reality they realized they are. When the sense of separateness is disintegrated and Reality is apprehended, there tends to be an ever-so-subtle contraction of the remaining tendency toward identification, which is just enough to delude the individual into thinking, “I am the All.” When you first awaken, this will likely occur.
Perhaps this is true for some kind of MCTB-esque attainment. However, the sort of awakening I am talking about is not about changing views (relinquishing the view, "I am a separate self", and perhaps incidentally taking up a new view, "I am the All / emptiness / whatever"). Rather, it is about seeing how
entertaining any view along these lines is unsatisfactory, and then doing away with the faculty of mind that entertains them in the first place.
As such, the advice Sam Watts gives is geared towards a person whose practice has let them to believe something like this...
Sam Watts:
Yes, Reality is the way it is. It has always been the way it is. The root cause of our errant perception of separateness is ignorance of the truth of Reality.
Rather than like this...
Buddha:
And what is the noble truth of the origination of stress? The craving that makes for further becoming — accompanied by passion & delight, relishing now here & now there...
And which are the...craving-verbalizations dependent on what is internal? There being 'I am,' there comes to be 'I am here,' there comes to be 'I am like this' ... 'I am otherwise' ...
And the results (as well as the advice that is appropriate) naturally differ.
