Feb 26, 2017 at 11:15 comment added Dhamma Dhatu the key unwholesome term in MN 1 appears to be 'maññati' ,which can be connected to conceit. MN 140 explicitly refers to maññati as 'conceiving self', as follows: "Asmī’ti, bhikkhu, maññitametaṃ". The tides of conceiving (maññassavā) do not sweep over one who stands upon these foundations. Bhikkhu, ‘I am’ is a conceiving; ‘I am this’ is a conceiving (maññita); ‘I shall be’ is a conceiving; MN 140. . maññita pp. of maññati suttacentral.net/define/ma%C3%B1%C3%B1ita
Feb 26, 2017 at 9:59 comment added Ilya Grushevskiy Don't know if it entirely fits here, but I think it shows that an Ararant simply does not designate any aspect of their experience - Nibbana is unconditioned but even the conditioned part of experience is only seen as impermanence and non-Self (as ignorance/stress has been abandoned with regards to all phenomena).. By the time you attain cessation, no aspect of your perception will be based on the extremes of attachment or aversion, so saying you are jumping from a conditioned experience to an unconditioned one is ignoring that the trainee is abandoning a reliance on conditions as a process.
