Preface - October 2025
Viveka-zandtao changed status when zandtao changed the website. Once the design was focused around the threshold then Viveka-zandtao increased importance because questing on viveka-zandtao led to crossing the threshold.
This meant a slight design change for viveka-zandtao - for tekkies viveka is now a sub-domain. This involved tekkie-changes in the html, and in making those changes zandtao was determined not to get sucked into reviewing. It was interesting to observe how Buddhist this book was especially as crossing the threshold moved him secular. He also found it a bit too indulgent but that might be the quest-style.
After crossing the threshold zandtao's autonomy led him to develop zeer-consciousness and pathtivism as embodiment, zandtao now sees section 4 on the path as a kind of intro - early development of these two books.
He was forced to add a warning concerning Russell Brand as an appendix but overall there is minimal change. There were times when he wanted to engage more but …. he didn't.
