You don't need any more information to reach Level 3. You need to
unlearn a habitual way of operating your mind. I'm being as helpful as I
know how via email. If you're really serious, come to Seattle and I'll
talk to you in person.

That's the bear-trap of the Level-2 mind: going by what's mentally
satisfying versus what works. If you imagine the mind as a landscape of
peaks and valleys, can you see how a Level-2 mind could easily get
caught in a valley or a hillock?
