but there is not enough arising & passing in jhana for strong vipassana resulting in dispassion because the mind, for the most part, is too "one"

Hi element, are you saying that vipassana happens in the neighborhood of jhana since within a jhana the mind is too absorbed in ekaggata that little or no movement is possible? I think jhanic samadhi (neighborhood concentration) is essential for vipassana to happen to a required level.
