Of the three folks who regularly say that they are enlightened (or at the very least experiencing enlightened states of mind, even if they don't call themselves "enlightened") on FFL, during the last month:
* Jim has made +120 posts, the majority of them defending his view of himself against critics and those who regard his experiences as mainly mood- making. * Rory has made +100 posts, the majority of them defending his view of himself against critics and those who regard his experiences as mainly mood- making. * Tom T has made one post, just having fun with some photos that someone posted: "I thought that the guys you picked to show me were much to handsome. I am much fatter and have all gray hair. Great shots of the gang on Weds nite. Enjoyed this very much." So here's a question -- if you were a betting man (or woman), based solely on their behavior, which of these three do you think is more likely to have actually experienced enlightened states of mind? :-)
