Just out of curiosity, did you really have me pegged as someone who believes what you wrote in the first sentence of the paragraph at the top? I ask because I've said in a number of posts that the longer I meditate, the less overshadowed I am. And certainly MMY teaches that it's a gradual process, so I'm not sure why any TMer would hold that belief. ------------------------ Yahoo!
