Thanks, Tom. It's fascinating how much more accurate your statement is than Jim's. Jim's implies *failure* or something *missing* in short-term experiences of realization. Your statement -- far more accurate -- refers only to how much clarity we bring to the experience. No bullshit about physiology, no guru saying, "Yeah, sure you've had the experience of realization but you still have to stick around and pay me because it isn't 'stabilized' yet." The only thing that develops over time is clarity of experience, which develops on its own, no guru needed. Much better way of expressing it.
