And it just didn't happen that way for me. I had cc experiences that were fleeting and on the background of intense suffering, and the same with gc.
Then a quick unraveling of it all, and literally one day I awoke and there was no more path, or more appropriately, I experienced complete freedom in terms of spiritual evolution; no more 'seeker's burn'. All the 'signposts' evaporated. There was no 'juice' left in any of it and from then on I have had oneness predominating in my awareness and perception. The diversity of the world is still there, but it has just switched places in my awareness with oneness. Diversity is secondary now. The reason I share this is because I think it is a common expectation among TMers that they will do cc, then get established in it- witnessing all the time, and then that will spill over into gc, experiencing the finest relative all the time, and so on. Maybe some folks do it like that, only that wasn't my experience.
