Second-hand cigarette smoke? Regardless, you have a fortunate point of view! I don't discount the Purusha point of view because I subscribe to the notion of collective consciousness I picked up from Maharishi. That perspective allows for a subtle, unseen influence on relative life as a whole. It's mystical, I admit, but I have no reason to dump it. (Maybe people will suggest a few reasons following this post.) The collective consciousness theory allows for individuals and groups to raise collective consciousness "higher" in ways that show up in the relative world. For example, my neighbor once had to drive an hour and half into Boston to get organic meat. Now it's available down the road at the local supermarket. That shift in public demand may be attributed to rising collective consciousness, which may in turn be attributed to a spiritual awakening that many groups like to say is happening. Salads at McDonald's are another example. Reduced exposure to second-hand cigarette smoke is another. Are the Purushites superfluous? I kind of hope so, given the paucity of their numbers. But I'm not ready to dismiss their influence, either. ------------------------ Yahoo!
