Yes, that may be a critical issue. The problem of (mis)interpreation of experiences. It is the history of the TMO, that many have made such mistakes. Thats the value of a teacher to verify and validate -- not depending on the students (perhaps often distored) interpretations. Its also the value in making up ones own criteria for enlightenment as Rory has said he did. One can adjust the target to fit where the arrow lands. Have fun and glorious interpretations at every step. All that is good fun. But subject to imagination. As JH said, M is not impressed with imaginations for MMY/TMO style enlightenment. All pointing to the need to have MMY confirm ones interpretation of enlightenment if they choose to proclaim MMY/TMO style enlightenment. On the other hand, if they are making up or getting good encouragement and fancy words from others at each step, then no need for confirmation. Just drift in the glorious realms of imagination and hyperbole. Its fun. Its amusing.
