Luminous form is in the realm of the brain. Within the space between the bricks with windows to see out into universal space.
Death and rebirth, moment to moment, every five billionth of a second one Bikkhu describes it, the reference escapes me. Death and rebirth in the 12 links, moment to moment, not body to body in material form. Death and rebirth in phenomenological form within the timescale of ones physical life. Death and rebirth many times in that relative material existence. Death and rebirth many times within psychological existence. Remember the nature of the path is to prevent rebirth and cease the many lives of suffering. It’s about having a clear, stable, steady mind. In brain terms the equanimity is the right balance between the hemispheres of the brain. Neither to exist in the covetous right brain of jhana phenomena or in the autopilot world of the left brain. Pursuit of jhana phenomena is craving of the highest (or lowest) order. When the time is right it will naturally occur through good practice, note it and let it go.
