Me he releido los textos y me parecen bastante mal redactados (quizá me paso de exigente) pero la idea base está.
Si los leéis y surgen dudas, pues encantado de charlar al respecto.
En paralelo hemos tratado lo mismo en Dharma wheel la pasada semana así que pongo algún detalle más:
First, for me it's clear that the 12 links are the process of the arise of a subject moment after moment. Not of a complete life, rebirth of something like that
Otherwise it doesnt make sense.
When the Buddha said that he saw the builder of the house, for me was refering to this. He saw how the "I" is built moment after moment.
So starting from a "zero moment" for example after waking up or an absortion or any other zero point, the first link starts.
>How is ignorance a condition for mental concocting even before there is consciousness?
For example, you wake up, there's ignorance (as you are not yet a Buddha and your Alaya has ignorance). So your mind go "outside" looking for a external world because of the habit (concocting?) is originally (Saṃskāra). So you activate consciousness (Vijnana really, discrimination)... you go and reach for the external and you discriminate.
>How is attachment a condition of ‘becoming’
Attachment creates desire, desire is just creating future (imagined future) to get what you want, so you start "becoming", I mean, creating the idea of you in the future getting nice things. Creating the idea of a continuous subject
>how is becoming a condition of birth?
The birth of a subject. Becoming is the condition to create the false subject (Atta) as an idea of you in time...
Once you believe in you as a subject in time, you are afraid of death and so on...
===============
Becoming is not the same as identifying.
Becoming here is the believe that there's a You that will exist any time in the future. It's the subject to your future desires.
If you think: I'm an person or a body, that's just identifying.
If you think, "tomorrow I will receive my prize", that's becoming.
So you create that construct, so then you also may think "but some years later I will die".
So as you become, death and rebirth arise.

También decir que en ese diálogo gente muy sabia disiente, luego no es tan claro...
Aunque para mi lo es...
La explicación de los mismos enlaces para explicar los renacimientos es realmente más forzada para mi.
