IMO it would have been better had you followed your first intuition when asked to comment and compare your grasp of Abhidarm Psychology with Western Pyschology and refrained from comment based on your relative ignorance of the multitude of schools of unresolved competing Psychological thought in the West. Dual Aspect Monist Neuropsychology for example views the organ of subjectivity to be the brain: to be a brain is to experience subjectivity; to observe a brain is to objectify another subject's organ mediated and filtered through one's own brain functions assisted by machines like fMRI, EEG, MRI etc. In fact one can NEVER KNOW the external World impinging on the senses and represented as something other than one's own unitary sentience. One can only feel something about that non-me out there beyond me reaching me as Sound, Taste, Smell, Form, Tangible object, Sight. Such impacts stir up in me chains of associated Instincts & Memories conscious or otherwise, and their associated Predictions about what behaviours in the broadest sense will best maintain my experience of going on being at and within a narrow range of environmental conditions that will continue to support my vital endogenous Homeostatic set point or Nirvanic equilibrium : a Sentient state of (embodied) bliss over and beyond the precision error correction engendered as my bodily, cognitive consciousness; i.e. a state of 'higher' luminous- yet empty- yet dynamic- '(non self)Consciousness'/Mind. The Brain mediates Sentience. Human sentience requires embodiment. Thus Human existence is said by the Buddha to be a precious achievement because it allows sentience to co-create itself and aim the arrow of one's lifetime(s) towards the target of Buddhahood along the Bodhisattva path. Perfect talk upto the Q&A...which was still good enough though slightly less Luminous than when you were simply repeating the Buddhas words in modern phrases.

@@mrsmitchell6922 I am very sorry to read that you are upset Mrs Mitchell. Actually I find that Robyna is a very good Dharma teacher and in general I enjoy her fiery personality and passion because I have found in the few lectures I have watched that, in my opinion, she is usually a very accurate reflection of the message of His Holiness and the Karmapa. However I disagreed with her comments about The Science of Buddhist Psychology and The Buddha himself told us NOT to believe any teacher or teaching based upon faith or reputation alone but only when one has subjected the topic to reason and logic. I wish you a good day and continued Light upon your Path.

You have demonstrated samsara…how very full of yourself to speak so disrespectfully. I am sorry you cannot grasp why she teaches the way she does.
