Bob, you distinguish between a Fairfield Life enlightened person and an "actually" enlightened person, but at least one Fairfield Life enlightened person is describing his experiences in just the terms you describe above -- that trauma doesn't affect him. See Tom Traynor's descriptions of dealing with physical pain. > A world full of > enlightened people would certainly not see the horrible toll of > epidemics like smallpox, which took ~300 million lives just in the > 20th century -- the tendency would be toward perfect health, > reflecting the harmonious way of life of the enlightened: I don't see how a tendency toward perfect health necessarily follows from enlightened people being unaffected by trauma or disease. On one hand, you're saying (and I agree) that bodily hurts can't touch enlightened people because they are not their bodies. Then you say the bodily hurts won't happen in the first place. Am I misreading you to assume a cause-and-effect relationship in your writing? - Patrick Gillam To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
