Does this describe the process you went through as you went through it, or is it back-to-front, as it were, from the perspective of having made the connect? My sense is that it is not easy for one who has made the connect to recapitulate the process of having made it, such that someone who hasn't made it yet can successfully follow the same steps and make the same connect. Just as those still in ignorance can be said to have "forgotten" their enlightenment, it seems to me, at least in many cases, that those who have realized their enlightenment can be said to have "forgotten" what it was like for them to be in ignorance. It's the nature of the beast, in both instances. In that regard, it's astonishing that *anybody* who has realized their enlightenment can teach those still in ignorance to realize their own enlightenment. It's the blind (blind to ignorance) leading the blind (blind to enlightenment).
