Brilliant, Element. Thanks for a very useful and detailed reply.

I don't think the Heart Sutra describes one mental state but more points towards the consequences of having a mental state. If we become aware of these consequences the negative effects cease, but we get to keep our analytical abilities, they actually contribute to our awareness. Can you relate to that?
