MMY speaks of "mature" vs [one assumes] "immature" Cosmic Consciousness.My take: Just because you might be walking on a plateau doesn't mean that there aren't valleys and peaks there. They aren't as big a deal to climb as the original ascent was, but you don't remember how tough that climb was, only that you were climbing... Having said all that, why worry about it anyway? ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
