Good point, but my sense of his post was more than just the parts of the life that were being lived, but a smoothness and trust in life gained through spiritual seeking over time without being attached to the goal. If we get into judging people's way of life (householder, recluse, or wino, as in the case of an unnamed ex-pat or two here on FFL), then I will have to bring out my measure of enlightnment. If you can demonstrate levitation in front of me and the world, and you say your enlightened, then I will believe you. Until then it is all philosophical bickering and heresay. Of course, Dr. Pete will say "what about those that can fly but are not enlightened", but that is just a cliche thought based on new age trendy quips that have no meaning. OffWorld
