What is direct insight and how is it used?
Let me elaborate further on how I use socratic reasoning...I assess if something is logical (socratic reasoning), and if it is, I then assess if it is founded in reality (eg facts / evidence to prove it).
You can make a logical argument on anything but if it is not based in reality then it is just a fantasy.
My parents adhere to the Theravada school of Buddhism which just means they are literalists on Buddha's teachings.
