It is, Ona, It is!

But the more I ponder this and the more things seem to settle the more that tendency appears to be a search for security in knowing. I'm convinced that same can be said of having to have neat classification schemes and detailed models of awakening. These eventually get dropped, too.

"Mara" has in common with Bodhi, that ANYTHING can serve its purpose. What a deal!

I don't think a model ever needs to be dropped, so much as the limits of the model need to be understood. In the end, they are all means or methods.
