Wow, enlightened, BUT embarrassed. That sounds pretty bad to me. I guess it would be better not to chance having that happen. I mean when you are enlightened I guess you can't look back at yourself in the compassionate way any of us do our own childhoods. I am learning more about this state every day. If enlightenment doesn't even include the smallest amount of perspective on your past, just how valuable is this state?

Jim if there is a common theme in your writing about your enlightenment experiences, it is a hyper awareness and concern about how you appear to other people. If I could sum up one quality of enlightenment I have seen demonstrated so far by you and others, it is insecurity. Sending emails to other "enlightened" people is one way to enjoy expressing your satisfaction with your self without the danger that people will think something you don't want. But that might cut out the biggest pleasure of "sharing" your experience on a public forum wouldn't it? Trying to tell people who don't take your claims at face value that they will be sorry one day for doubting you is probably not going to work on anyone here. It wouldn't work on you if I tried it would it? --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "jim_flanegin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Rory Goff" <rorygoff@> > wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Rory Goff" <rorygoff@> > > wrote: > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, new.morning <no_reply@> > wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Oh, goodie.
