How TA may be helpful to seekers to end the search has been covered extensively in recent posts. So that there can be a comparison for seekers the following is a summary of how NA may be helpful to some seekers to end a feeling of disconnection from Oneness as the only reality, or whatever label may be applied to the totality without distinction or discrimination.

1) It may be that the popularity of NA in the West rather than TA reflects the different traditions between East and West. The West is more thought based around thinking about ideas and concepts. So the Western mind may find concept/ideas based NA more suitable and see thinking and mind in general as an asset rather than a hindrance. Mind may even be seen as what resonates with a solution to the search for the particular character it serves. After all it is mind that gathers the data for the search so it would not be surprising if it was mind that resonates with what is regarded as a suitable solution for the particular character. That mind has the ability to resonate as well as think would not be surprising.

2) Characters vary. Some may be successful at doing something to solve problems and have the discipline necessary to work at that. Knowing this mind may select a path and/or practise for such characters. Others may not be so successful so mind may resonate with a solution that requires very little or nothing to be done to end the search. To think that the latter are eliminated from ending the search is to condemn them to the spiritual wilderness by dismissing their experience of resonance as useless. Those taking that view are not the ones having that experience and can not know what that experience is like for the other experiencing it.

Both TA or NA may be appropriate depending on the character of seekers, who should not be put of consideration of either by attempts to smear/undermine the other.

Good luck.
