The second: What would you think of a seeker who had enlightenment presented to him on a platter and who then rejected it, preferring to accept and try to groove with whatever state of consciousness life presented to him?
What I'm thinkin' is that the "career path" presented to the Serious Spiritual Seeker is pretty fuckin' lame and limited. Just sayin'. :-) I mean, the path laid out for you as a young, aspiring spiritual aspirant is that you will keep doin' what you've been told to do and one day you'll get all enlightened and all. At that point, you will do what all the other enlightened beings we celebrate in history have done, and become a Teacher. Other people will flock to you as students and accept everything you say as The Truth just because you say it. You will be a walking god. You will have spiritual groupie status out the wazoo. What if someone got all enlightened and all, and decided to do something else? Would that be a Good Thing in your opinion, or a Bad Thing?
