Not a critique of you, more just Buddhism. It depends, do you want to work with your Transcendent self, and beyond that the spiritual hierarchies outside of time to become better than your best, being healed through collaboration with Christ, or do you want to construct a humanist structure to enter nirvana/limbo (with its peace and control) and with no communication with entities and no actualisation of the transcendent self. Pre-christian influence buddism is about checking out to end suffering. Post christian they have taken on 'saving' values. The Christian initiation of Christian hermeticism is about collaboration and the intervention of the Outside into the temporal beyond just the transcendent self. Buddism works, but it is in its way also a technicalisation of the spiritual.
You notice the technicalising in the automated 'prayers' of those things they spin when they walk past in Tibet. The divine is not a machine. I use Outside for my own purposes, it's a good anglo-saxon word for Eternal.
Buddism = The humanist wings of Icarus. Better to collaborate with someone Outside to grow permanent wings.
I think I understand the critique. As a European, Buddhism feels as if it lacks a pointed telos.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "Outside"? Are Landian entities required for salvation or something?

Not at all brother. The reason this is posted is to encourage comment (or even critique!)
I think I need to catch up on your recent videos...
Better that than no spiritual practice. Don't mind me
