There was an electronics catalog a while back that used to list bogus items for sale, just to see if anyone was stupid enough to order them. One of the items offered for sale was DEDs (Darkness Emitting Diodes). They also listed WOM (Write Only Memory) chips. Amazingly, they got lots of customers trying to order them. :-) > Actually, to be serious for a second (its hard), I am "using" the > scale thing NOT to measure and compare, but rather to get away from > that and provide a map, as a visual tool, to indicate that thre is > huge diversity of human and spiritual growth -- and claims of > superiority (often implicit) are bogus. > > Its a model / view that says "you are emitting light?

" Cool, I guess. I just find that I'm less and less interested in models or in concepts of 'progress' these days. Every day is such an adventure that there's very little time left to wonder what's next. About the only thing I'm fairly sure about is that something *will* be 'next.' :-) Like Vaj (if I understood him correctly), I see no end to the evolutionary process. IMO, we might as well just kick back and enjoy the journey, because we're going to be on it for a long time. ------------------------ Yahoo!
