Dan,
Your questions seems more appropriate for RMP, Tolle and Bolte-Taylor. I
don't know. I'm here for Lila, who seemed to say that it is whatever you
say it is, and in saying so, you kill it. I'm in total agreement with that
point-of-view.

No, although Eckhart got ten weeks on Oprah...
But, seriously, I'm curious about participants views on such questions as:
- What does enlightenment mean? What fundamental traits could we
associate
with the attainment of sudden enlightenment?
- Are there significant differences between an Eastern vs. Western
enlightenment experiences?
- Can enlightenment be reduced to a neurological explanation - as we see
with Bolte-Taylor, as well as James Austin's, "Zen and the Brain"?
- If the latter is the case, is there importance in using metaphysical or
mystical metaphors in order to understand and/or attain enlightenment?
BTW, speaking of the NYX, has anyone seen this one:

?
or this one: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/13/opinion/13brooks.html ?
The Times seems to be riding a wave...

Greetings Dan,
Well for one thing, I don't think they put Pirsig and Eckhart in the
Fashion & Style Section of the NYT.

I'm new to the discussions, and I'm curious about how participants view
the
similarities and differences between Jill Bolte-Taylor, Pirsig and
Eckhart
Tolle. All are Westerners who seem to have had sudden elightenment
experiences that pulled them into a permanent MOQ-type view of the
universe.
