In reply to Molly Layton. Thank you, Molly, for this request. One of the features of blogging is that one might occasionally find oneself talking to/with a silence that doesn't respond (and doesn't make any requests). In this way, your comment and request is a gift that breaks that silence and (to mix metaphors) sheds light on where to go next. It's an invitation to continue writing. I'd be happy to "meet" with you, the reader, as a way to continue, and to continue as a way to meet with you the reader. Thanks again.

Davood, thank you for your own delightful note here. I find it helpful to understand a process of thinking first this, then that — and seeing the steps in between. I am reading Glenn’s Critique of Western Buddhism, to follow the steps he took in his own use of Laruelle. But I was wondering, could you, er, be more specific? Give a more concrete example of a particular shift in yourself? What particular aspect became more rich and abundant? In what way? Writing this down, I become aware that it’s arrogant to demand that the writer somehow meet the reader, on the reader’s terms. But I can only add in my defense that I’d like to read more.
