I see her quite differently, now that my own anger/hurt/blame around the TMO has been healed. Essentially in this bodymind of awareness, she's a Dharmapala of practically perfect diamond-mind! >nonetheless she is > rather lovable in her own curmudgeonly way. Lovable, yes. Curmudgeonly? I'd say "exacting" -- upholding the Dharma of Truth to a "T" -- *not* supporting the TMO "party-line" when it deviates from the Truth, but also *not* supporting a knee- jerk/illogical attack on the TMO stemming from the hurt/anger/blame cycle mentioned above. > I've suggested many.

And an *ideal* thing....Sounds as if *someone* may be putting *someone* up on another pedestal...? ;-) And again, I am *not* at all sure how relevant the chakra-petals are to actual Awakening. And yet again, the misUnderstanding of the Hrit- padma is nothing to sneeze at! :-) > Short of a sadhana chip implant, I don't know how much better it > could get. ;-) But that's what we all *have*, as far as I can see! :-)
