All nice platitides, but not relevant to the above quote. That there are apparent contradictions as consciousness unfolds, does not imply that ALL contradictory statements are valid or "enlightened". Doublespeak, masquerading as rational or superior insights, is the tool of charlatans and political repression. It is manifestation the orwellian vison of 1984. A clear, finely tuned intellect is necessary for realization and appreciation of higher states. Muddled thinking, gross and over reaching generalizations, are not a sign of higher states, but of bondage and ignorance. ------------------------ Yahoo!
