not only on the ordinary sensory level, but also on a level that transcends all the dimensions of time and the present.
In the understanding of a modernist; happiness that comes from the (effort-based) reward center, endorphins after pain, and the instinct to help the herd?

He felt that there was no honor, no value in life, if true happiness could not be found through one's own efforts.
I think this can be found true by someone from any class

Because the mind is the source both of the dangers and of release, there is a need for two levels of refuge: external refuges, which provide models and guidelines so that we can identify which qualities in the mind lead to danger and which to release; and internal refuges, i.e., the qualities leading to release that we develop in our own mind in imitation of our external models
My initial thoughts on interpretation of this were external practices that mold the foundation for internal acception of the principles, and external teachings (buddhism) that offer the thinking (and possibly environment) to reach internal refuge

Is this talking about contradictions in different sheet musics for the same sound ?

Not true? Inuit throat singing? Or the entire basis of African Music theory?
