Just as a question to the folks participating in this discussion, do you assume that enlightenment, once realized, is permanent? Since I've been away from TM and its teachings for 20+ years, I'm trying to find out whether we're on the "same page" here. I certainly do not assume this, based both on teachings I respect and the personal experiences of myself and others (periods of enlightenment can just come and go). The teachings were Tibetan in origin, and have to do with ways in which one can definitely mess up after realization of enlightenment and make it "go away." TIA,
