It sounds great to me too; it's just what I was saying awhile back that I think enlightened people *should* be doing when they're interacting with people in ignorance--rather than telling them, e.g., You only *think* you're overshadowed, or, Stress release is just an excuse for people who don't really want to achieve enlightenment. It's what I think MMY does, at least from what I've seen of his tapes. He's able to empathize with the experiential reality of people in ignorance and doesn't try to tell them they're not really having the experience they say they're having, even though his experiential reality may be very different. But not everyone thinks that's such a hot idea. Several people here objected, some of them quite scornfully. So, different strokes for different folks. > Densely, > > Patrick Gillam > > > > "What I saw as Hillary listened to one person's story of > > suffering was subtle and difficult to convey: I could clearly see > > and feel that Hillary was seeing this person as consciousness > > itself, free of all limiting definitions of mind AND AT THE SAME > > TIME Hillary was taking the person's story 100% seriously and > > seemed to be believing everything this person conveyed about > > their life experience.
