And thats NOT what the model I suggest is about. Ironically, its a "visualization" tool to get away from all of that -- measuring and comparing and even SEEKING progress. Its a tool to stop seeking "more" (wow, enlightenment will sure be kewl" -- and other logic train wrecks -- and simply live what is her now. > Every day is such an adventure that > there's very little time left to wonder what's > next.

Yes. My point about the Rainbow Body was not that it is an endpoint, but that it is so far beyond the "no I" or other experiences -- that its silly to think one has reached the pinnacle of human development -- when they have that "experience". > IMO, we might > as well just kick back and enjoy the journey, > because we're going to be on it for a long time. Actually, thats exactly my position and point. Though perhaps I get it in a more convoluted way, or a least different than you. Or not. The model, is NOT a tool to plot ones daily progress, or compare progress, etc. Its simply an antidote "view" to the discussions and claims of "I am There" and this one attribute is "IT". Thats among the reasons that over the past 3 years I have defended the view that labels such as "enlightenment" provide little or no value. Change and refinement continue to occur even, paradoxically when "non-change" is at the core, and / or prevades all. And there is not one single, unitary attribute that defines the "path" or milesones / attributes on the "path". While you may not be in need of such an "antidote" -- perhaps because you have not been involved in all the discussons on this list over the years (though I am sure you have been in many similar ones) -- I do find it a quenching tonic. Like "bitters" when one has been surrounded by a "sweetness" view of things. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
