Well, not exactly. My point was that there are ways to talk about realization that don't involve (what amounts to) disrespecting the experience of the unrealized, but that are still useful to us. MMY isn't the only one who can do it by any means. As to usefulness, my impression is that generally speaking, what he says is close enough to take me where I can leap from his road map to my own experience and not be so disoriented that I recoil in panic, at least so far. The leap may not be comfortable, but it isn't intolerable. And I've then been able to discard that part of the road map, at least at that level (often his maps have more than one level). > That is of course your prerogative, and I am indeed sorry you are > suffering. As I said, suffering sucks. Aggghh. I'm not suffering. I suffered the first time I encountered this kind of thing, but then I grew a thicker skin. Sorry I misled you by using the present tense, but I was trying to give you a more immediate snese of what it was like. Now it's just annoying. > If you truly want to emerge from the suffering, I respectfully > suggest you won't get much relief by asking us to change (because > we know by now we aren't particularly good at changing for others) Not sure who "we" is here. And I'm not asking *you* to change, just for you to change your behavior. I can do that; is it something you've lost the ability to do?
