What is the fundamental level of you? If you follow the TM philosophy I remembered, it is pure conscious- ness. What is pure consciousness' nature? Enlight- enment. Some other traditions avoid using the phrases "attain enlightenment" or "become enlightened," because they believe there is nothing to attain, nothing to become. Everyone is always already enlightened. What we refer to as enlightenment is merely the subjective realization of something that has always already been present. > You know the Adam and Eve myth?

And that meaning is dualistic in nature -- there is a difference between the relative and the absolute. Not all spiritual traditions believed that; the myths of the ones that did not rarely contain a "fall from grace" myth. > What is this one realy about? I'm not sure what you mean by "this one."
