Your previous two posts express a very Yogachara view, Mitch. Not just of the Yogachara, but also of Zen I think. But that's okay - why not, I suppose ? 
However, what I like about Zen is that its very structurelessness is 'in itself' a kind of structure: a structureless structure, so to speak. Paradox is only paradoxical if you look at it rationally - so why cling onto that ? Why not just let that go ?? |

Attachment, together with its accompanying habits, negative actions and grasping for materialistic pleasure seems to 'attach' the mind to the body. That way, attachment is the glue that keeps us stuck to samsara isn't it? |
It came to me that you are right. It is attachment.
I can put that question to rest.
Thank you,
