The take home message is whenever the suttas discuss a meditation technique it always has "sati" as a prefix or suffix such as satipatana, anapanasati, mahasatipatana and kayagatisati, which by the way refers to body scanning which some schools of therevadan Buddhism refer to; however, thoseschools call body scanning 'vipassana' and relevant here is most schools of Buddhism almost never refer to jhana and translate the 8th fold (samma-samadhi) as concentration, which is so completely wrong that we can be sure those people who do never experienced samma-samadhi.
So we really have to ask a number of challenging questions: if the suttas describe a body scanning technique and never use the term 'vipassana ' in the context of a meditation technique, and call body scanning meditation 'kayagatisati, and the suttas define the 8th fold in terms of jhana, and it is no coincidence that Buddhist schools only refer to the anapanasati and satipatana suttas, which do not refer directly to jhana; whereas, the 2 other key suttas extensively refer to jhana, then we have to conclude the therevada, vipassana and insight meditation communities are completely clueless regarding the dhamma, and are at best only offering a 7-fold path not 8.
Now what you propose is what is called in the interior life unpacking your belief systems which is fruitful work in a contemplative life. However, when the 3 vehicles of Buddhism spend thousands of years marketing lies and demonizing those who teach the truth then we have evidence of a self-serving entrenched priesthood. What is new about that? All organized religions have this problem and the devout tend to be naive and not very bright so go on funding the lies and liars. And who is it anyway who come as a mob to burn mystics at the stake or crucify them? It is of course the devout.
