This post is strongly reminiscent of the little that i've read form Eckhart Tolle.

Isn't the dhyana experience the kind of thing you're supposed to pass through, rather than dwell on, on your way to Zen enlightenment?

You know, I need to reread A New Earth to make sure it still holds up, but I think humans in general, but especially rationalist can benefit greatly from it. I think I might make it "required reading" for my associates.

The theme of non-attachment is sort of the more general form of the second virtue.
