Yes, my take on this also. However, I believe the clue in all of this to be Vaj's statement that the 'pyramid people' are seen when one *begins* to transcend duality. And that some would seek enlightenment as a further narcissistic tendency. This seems to me to be antithetical, even impossible, with regard to progress towards enlightenment, and full permutation of bliss consciousness. I don't understand how, on the one hand, we can grow significantly towards a pure nervous system and at the same time maintain the sense of self as isolated. The sense of self as isolated is at odds with a pure nervous system. It all seems very ignorant, almost sub- human. Or sub-Godhead anyway, which is really the same thing... ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
