In other words, suspend judgement and remain a skeptic of reality until I can see the overall picture.

I've been thinking about this concept in Buddhism recently, the idea of the point of contact between awareness of arising and attachment/clinging to the arising. That is, sparsha is the point of contact between what we sense inside and outside of mind-body, and the feelings and cravings that arise coming from that point. If I control the point of contact, I can choose, consciously, my feelings, thoughts, actions and reactions.

I think AA was talking about sparsha in the above quote.

Wow.  That's a really funny way of saying "look at shit before you decide what it is".

The whole of Angel Tech is really funny ways of saying things.
