The problem with mistaking the *perception* that "I am not the doer" for the reality. In a nutshell. As several brain researchers have postulated, the *perception* of not being the doer may be purely a physiological thing, related to a particular area of the brain becoming active. As I remember from the (I think) Time magazine article that discussed this research, they pointed out that this perception was *not* limited to those who follow a spiritual path. But those on a spiritual path tended to *interpret* the perception positively, as a sign of progress or enlightenment, when in fact it might be just a particular set of neurons swtich- ing from OFF to ON. Before you ask, I don't have the reference. It was a big article on God and brain functioning that I read while waiting in a dentist's office. ------------------------ Yahoo!
