My Tuesday Dhamma talk and our sangha discussion will be will be on the Kevatta Sutta. As shown in this sutta it is clear that a "dharma" practice that encourages self-identification in conceptual, speculative, and suppositional realms was something the Buddha continually cautioned against.

“A wise one gives instruction on directing thinking in one way and not another. They give instruction on what to be mindful of and what to abandon. They give instruction on what to let go of and what to enter and remain in." (Kevatta Sutta)
