These 'pyramid people' present an interesting challenge to our attachments and boundaries. If we look within ourselves, particularly in waking state, who of us would not want to cease struggling, cease dealing with problems, and live in deep complete bliss fulfillment? It is a paradox- if we are OK with our daily problems and struggles, then we cannot be said to be suffering. On the other hand, if we wish to be free of them, what is wrong with an eternity in bliss? And this is not a partial bliss, it is the satisfaction of every deepest desire we have known, beyond the emotions of feeling really, really good, beyond any transient desire we can imagine. What is wrong with that? Is it again a case for us of not wanting to be here now, yet not wanting to have our problems solved either? ------------------------ Yahoo!
