TurquoiseB - your explanation sounds good to me. My preference is to take both parties into account, ie. what you are describing is true but the traditional darshan radiation idea is also true.
If you are not so very wide awake, it might help to have someone very wide awake to act as a catalyst for your own recognition. If you are already pretty awake, anyone and anything can wake you up further. But from another perspective, all these human beings aren't really separate from one another. There is only one consciousness. So "who" is the owner of the darshan effect really? "Who" is the teacher, "who" is the student? Consciousness is recognizing itself in and through one or another of these beings. > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Darshan can be explained just as effectively as a process > > of recognition.
