dvarnibbana

Potential mapping of dvar model onto the traditional insight stages. 

Arising & Passing = high tda, high dvar = creativity, bliss, confidence, clarity

Dissolution = low tda, low dvar = melting away, loss of energy, loss of drive, loss of clarity

Dark Night = low tda, high dvar = strong repulsion, fear, disgust, eventually a desire for deliverance

Equanimity = increased tda, low dvar = wellveing, calm

Nibbana = strong deire for deliverance from a seriously shitty dark night, and *hard work* to achieve it through meditation (and Z2?)

in short: a dark night is your opportunity for nibbana. The night is darkest before the dawn and all that.
