Answer

• No.
• we end up with a non conceptual insight that:
  • we can then communicate
  • that we can discuss
  • that we can articulate
  • that requires that reason be present at:
    • the beginning like the seed
    • in the middle when we're performing the analysis
    • like the rain that nourishes the crops and
    • in the end in the harvest
  • because non conceptuality is really easy to achieve all you need is a very large rock,
    • just bang right on your head and non conceptuality is there
  • but that's a mute inert non-conceptual
  • Non-conceptuality needs to be enriched by the conceptual insight that allows you to actually make something of it

The Middle Way

• using the conceptual to reach a deeper appreciation of the state of non-conceptuality,
• in other words, using dualistic thought and language to reach insights about the nondual

• Madhyamaka: Jay Garfield

• Jay Garfield talks about why Nagarjuna's technique employts reason to undermine itself to achieve peace in a nonconceptual state.
  • He humorously points out how its easy to achieve nonconceptual states in many ways, such as a large rock to the head, but that kind of nonconceptual state is not really insightful for penetrating the deep philosophical questions we all have.
  • He clarifies why Nagarjuna's process is called the Middle Way,
    • it employs (conceptual) analysis to achieve wisdom of the nondual (nonconceptual) state
