OK. I thought you were joking. Transcending is the cornorstone of MMY's program. It is the single most important part of his teaching. It is considered going to the home of all knowldedge and all the laws of nature. It is going to the highest first. It is watering the root so you can enjoy the fruit. It is pulling back the bow so you can let the arrow of activity fly. It is the rest before activity. It is capturing the fort so you can enjoy all the silver and gold mines.

MMY considers transcending "Valuable". --- In [email protected], "sparaig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], "curtisdeltablues" <curtisdeltablues@> wrote: > > > > Come on Spraig, don't play with me. > > > > I was beign perfectly serious.
