2026 edit: I’m going to start calling these fetters-inspired inquiries. Many folks who study Buddhism say Kevin’s “fetters” are not the actual thing. I don’t want to spiritually shortchange people, so I’d invite you to explore what it means that there may be much more on offer than dissolving most of your suffering (that’s what’s on offer from the full shifts following fetters-one-to-five-INSPIRED inquiries).
Also, I’m not enlightened. The original post beginning reads like that’s what I’m saying, and maybe I thought so at the time, or was motivated to say so because of wanting status in the community I was in. I’m not abiding in no-one-no-thing-ness or one-with-everything-ness. I haven’t studied the thousands-year-old traditions these spells or signposts come from, and I don’t want to say I have something I don’t really know much about.
