Oh yes, and I believe they are correct as well.* I absorbed the
   'gist' of the Buddhist teaching as a kid when I read through
   "The Inner Game of Tennis", along with some biofeedback/guided
   meditation stuff (both when I was 11), to control an
   "inconsolable" nature.* [like anger management but really, any
   emotional situation would cause my amygdala to overload.* Fight,
   freeze flight, whatever - it was overwhelming). Then did some
   Vipassana Meditation in my early 20s as well. One of my favorite
   stories was one involving sitting by the river, imaging being by
   the water, then imagining what it's like for the water to
   continue flowing without you.* A "there/not there" state. The
   original story is much better. But yeah, it's totally related.*
   I've taken the "flip" of it, by acknowledging all of the
   "perspectives of self" as being valid - sort of a
   "Gods-eye-view" (or perhaps a Screen-writer or movie director's
   view) - as a way to come to peace with worldly stuff on some
   level.* It's here, not going anyplace and really, _some kind_ of
   inverted Buddhism that is/isn't Buddhism needs to happen, one
   that reflects the "None-All-Some" together simultaneously -
   something to allow for active meditation.* Seems to me to be the
   only way to really fix humanity and present attempts are good..
   but.. I think more can be done.
