<p>Superior is a value relative to a task. Wilber sometimes says things like, "Zen is essential buddhism; Vajrayana is complete buddhism". This suggests a pattern in his thinking whereby different approaches are valued along different axes. In building a comprehensive theory the superior option may simply, pragmatically, be the one which lends its best to theoretical comprehensiveness. There are some good reason for selection Vajrayana over Mahayana and Thereveda in this…</p>

In pointing out Yogacara's notion of consciousness I'm reminded of our prior discussion on this at the old Lightmind Forum in the thread "<a href="http://www.lightgate.net/boards/viewtopic.php?t=6424" target="_blank">causal versus nondual nonduality</a>." I'm also reminded of my IPS thread "<a href="http://integralpostmetaphysics.ning.com/forum/topics/what-is-the-differance" target="_self">what is 'the' differance</a>," where I explore Derrida's notion of khora, a similar, yet different, kind…
