It isn't something I really ever think about, because I am never aware of it- this bidirectional effect of enlightenment. It makes sense though, that as we realize the world and ourselves as One, that all of those false boundaries between us and 'them' are dissolved, and in a profound way, service to the world is rendered; the world is more easily able to know itslef and thus more easily fulfill its purpose. That must account for all the 'support of Nature' we experience after enlightenment. As you sow, etc. Though as I said I rarely if ever give it a second thought.
Perhaps the elimination of boundaries renders the world as were are to such an extent it is seamless. I was buying chocolates in a chocolate store today and I remarked to the woman behind the counter that the store smelled so good. Then I asked her if she could smell it after being there all day, and she said no. Then she added that even when she gets there in the morning and walks in, it no longer smells like chocolate. Same thing. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Does he tell you he loves you when he hits you? Abuse.
