And thats a reasonable perspective. My only point is that that is NOT Peter's oft repeated view. He has forcefully claimed many times that in enlightenement there is NO ego, NO individuality, absolutely NONE, ZIP. Game OVER. His statements leave no room for your position, "indentification changes but the ego is still there, just not identified with." He is clear that if there is a sense of ego or individuality, then that 'experience' is NOT enlightenment. Thus my point: Two (and more) people self-claim enlightenment, define it in different way, and report a different 'experience' that characterizews "their" enlightenment. If one doesn't see whats wrong with this picture, then their self-defined, self-proclaimed "type" of enlightenment, or innate rational skills, are of a very weak form. ------------------------ Yahoo!
