Title: Unboundedness
Kirk, I was thinking about what you were saying about needing drugs to keep you grounded because unboundedness spaces you out (I hope I’ve got that right). Isn’t enlightenment all about getting acclimated to functioning in a state of unboundedness? If an ordinary person were to shift suddenly into the enlightened state, they wouldn’t be able to function. In fact, this is exactly what happened to Eckhart Tolle and Byron Katie. It took each of them a few years to adjust. Maharishi said that if you were to get enlightened suddenly it would take ten strong men to hold you down. But you’ve been at it for so many years. Shouldn’t your focus be on integrating and acclimating to unboundedness, rather than try to suppress or obliterate the experience? It seems like the intensity of your cooking job would help do this. How about physical exercise? Jogging or something? It seems to me that unboundedness is a good thing. We want it. We just need to learn to handle it.
