Tons and tons of them and many of them quite good.
Unfortunately theories alone got him and anyone who follow these theories nowhere.
To get somewhere you need tons and tons of practice which is something that our brother Plato did not have so all his mental work is like a babble that explode in the air.
By practice I presume you're referring to your meditational practice which you refer to as intuitional science. In Buddhist meditation, there is the concept known as Makyo, which is a form of error or illusion arising within the context of meditation. It's long been recognized that people who meditate can become preoccupied with sensations, ideas, concepts and so on in meditation which, Buddhism recognizes as nothing more than a shadow following the reality. Some even hallucinate. So there is plenty of opportunity for being misled by what one finds in meditation. Even Buddhist doctrines themselves can be acknowledged as a form of makyo which blinds rather than enlightens. So how does one deal with this possibility and realize authentic insight based on one's meditation? The classic response is to rely on traditions and teachers who are or have been more adept at divining the difference between illusion and reality in meditation. Yet this is just another kind of makyo in which the ideas of others infiltrate one's practice and replace real and authentic insight. So dogma about meditation becomes conflated with insight, and becomes a substitute for it. In other words, your "practice" is simply another manifestation of your religious dogma, and thus is bullshit like the rest of your religious crap. You think you're doing work, when in reality, you're just masturbating to a fixed image that you learned by more mundane means. Your practice is nothing more than another expression of religious dogma, and thus is worth jack shit.
But by all means, continue your deluded belief that you're actually doing something meaningful with your "practice." The rest of us will do the real work of spiritual development which you neglect while you're sitting on your ass. Nobody needs your dogmatic crap and your arrogant presumption that you actually know fuckall about what you're doing.
