Just one small correction, my fellow clown, to the statement
above: "...it could be in the form of samadhi present for long
periods of time simultaneous with activity, as in what Maharishi
used to call CC...". What Maharishi calls CC, and you should know
this having been a TM teacher, is samadhi permanently established
with all activity; waking, dreaming and sleeping. Not "present for
long periods of time"-- permanently established.
