Kenneth Folk's recent new realization and new model of enlightenment is very similar to my personal progress of insight... from I AM to substantialist non-dualism to Anatta.
I hope he will post more of his new insights and teachings.

Yes in terms of insights and realizations it is the same. The only difference is Kenneth many years of vapassana practice make his insight and experience more stable and clear. Therefore the way he experiences the fetters model will be different from you.
There must also be clarity of how 'views' shape our moment to moment of experience:
1. Sensations + dualistic view + inherent view
2. Sensations + non-dual view + inherent view
3. Sensations + anatta + inherent view of objects
4. Sensations + 2 fold emptiness viewAlso, your experience of samadhi is still not strong. You may want to re-read Bringing Non-Dual to Foreground.
By the way I am facing a lot of problems editing text with IE 9 beta version and I am unable to uninstall it. Any ideas?

I see... yes, and I think my samadhi is adversely affected by the lack of meditative practice during BMT. Since there is more time in unit now, I will try to meditate regularly.
p.s. someone in my bunk asked me what I'm practicing and whether I can levitate through meditation lol. I said I heard of these things before but personally I don't experience that.
I think uninstallation is a bit troublesome... why not use Firefox as default browser instead? Like I always do.

When the Buddha was asked how can fetters be removed, he said it is via insight (vipassana) and calm abiding (shamatha).
Therefore, samadhi is also very important to remove fetters.... in my understanding.
