Not in/ex to DO, but within DO.
See above.

And how does all this internal/external stuff have to do with the OP?

I was, actually, trying to keep the conversation on track in terms of internal/external in relation to the satipatthana sutta, but given the present direction this discussion has taken, this discussion has gone wildly astray.
As to "what is OP?" "Opening Post."

I am going to lock this thread and laboriously move this stuff to a new thread where you guys can natter on endlessly.
