Yes, but some people come to the spiritual path *in search of* bigger and better chains. They flit from conceptual model to conceptual model, from certainty to certainty, from one excuse for why they're not enlightened yet to the next excuse for why they're not enlightened yet. In truth, what they're searching FOR is the next excuse, the next set of chains. As long as they can convince themselves that they're working on "dissolving" the chains, that there is something that they *have* to "work on," they're happy. That's a familiar and no-risk situation. What would be risky is to drop the chains and be free. ------------------------ Yahoo!
