Hope you still remember where you came across this, as I'm *very* interested. If you manage to find out only after I leave the discussion, hope you would remember to send it to me personally. No promises, of course.

Btw, you might be interested to know that the so-called "5th jhana" and onwards are known as ayatanas in the suttas. They are called jhanas only in the commentaries.
