Interesting links there, I did not complete going through them fully. It is interesting to know eastern philosophical views of a westerner. I assume in this image you seem to reflect on Alan's views basis which "pause" also becomes an "activity". I need to go through these videos fully, I hope to do that in the near future.
One thing I love about scientific endeavours to understand the nature of reality is the rigour with which they pursued, searching for experimental evidences, making plausible theories and searching for validations while still being open to be proved wrong. Probably the same rigour exists in some of the philosophical pursuits. However, at times I do think personal opinions sneak through in philosophical preachings which in the minds of those who have already submitted themselves will become truth! This is unfortunate.
