I listened to her--I assume it's the same women--she
described the dawning of the state (Rick will remember if she was there
when I was)--and I got then that she was describing CC. From my
perspective, "infinite mind" is "mahat". I did have the sense that she was
wakeful (of course it would be impossible for me to say whether that was
permanent of not). I'm not sure why everyone is all the sudden talking
of UC/BC. I'm just not getting that.
"Knowing" will always presume
a "Knower" and some medium in between. But this could be a semantic
misunderstanding on my part.
I think "witnessing" may be a bad term in
this case and that's the sticker.
Lastly, what disturbs me is that
it doesn't all appear new. It's a nice and convincing rearrangement of all
the old TM buzzwords. There's little new. I expect the description to be
as fresh and new as anything could be. But it's presented in the jargon
and conditioned wording of TM. Why is it not fresh and new?
I can
feel whole or wholeness but it does not seem like Grand Unification to me
(to use TM jargon).
Does *she* feel she is in BC? Or do others feel she
is in BC? I did find her very convincing and "right
on".
