Many thanks Fitter. That was very helpful.
Anyone have any references to why A&P event is irreversible in the suttas or commentaries ?
The first A&P is a massively deep insight about the nature of fundamental reality..specifically the reality
about your existance...and its a cool event because of the "wow I discovered this deep thing about mind and body and
I can see where the problem lies"...but after that one wants to end that problem that one has
discovered in the A&P and when it does not happen/when solution to that problem looks impossible,
a "dark night" arises..
That said , I dont think you should limit yourself with "types of people and enlightenment"..your
curiosity in the lines of "what is all this mind body phenomena anyway" will progress you quicker.
