Not long ago someone -- I think Alex Stanley --  pointed out how great meditation must be in  enlightenment. Is that the motivator? These queries are all part of a larger question  of how people's spiritual practices change upon  awakening. Depends how you define "awakening", a western word. I've been reading a tantra called "The Matrix of Pure Appearance and Primordial Consciousness" and it talks a lot about people who find "awareness"/awakening, etc. and think they are enlightened. At the end of the Kali yuga, this will become more and more common as people will claim themselves as teachers and begin teaching this to others. "Not knowing how to distinguish between realization and gaining confidence in the View of enlightened mind, many people mistake one for the other and thereby deceive themselves. So learn how to make that distinction." To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
