Well, I can sit alone in a room and do nothing -- easy. But I still have a LOT of problems.
Anyway, I just read the little section blurbs of the webpage and it all seems pretty true. But, I guess I'm being lazy, is there any conclusion that one can somehow, at some point, see things as they are? Or is that just another delusion?

There is no such thing as a non-mediated experience.

There is no such thing as conscious control.
