Remember that just like there are a lot of levels to any skill, there are a lot of levels to any unblocking!
It feels to me like perhaps both parties are making a mistake when one person (the discoverer) says, “I finally figured out [how to be emotionally liberated or something]!” and the skeptic is like “whatever, they’ll just come back in a few months and say they figured out even more about being emotionally liberated, what a pointless hamster wheel.” (Yes, often people are unskilled at this type of thing and the first insight doesn’t stick, but I’m talking about the times when it does.)
In these cases, the discoverer will *still find higher levels of this* later on! It isn’t that they’ve discovered the True Truth about [emotional liberation], they’ve just made a leap forward that resolves lots of their known issues. So even if the skeptic is right that they’ll discover another thing in the future that sounds very similar, that doesn’t actually invalidate their present insight.
And for the discoverer, often it is seductive to think you’ve finally solved that domain. Oftentimes most or all of your present issues there feel resolved! But that’s because you triangulate from the most pressing issues. In the future, you’ll find other cracks in your reality, and need to figure out superficially similar but slightly skewed domains—and thinking you’ve permanently solved a complicated domain will only hamper this process. But that doesn’t mean your insight isn’t exactly as good as you think it is.
