I love the descriptions Irmeli has given of her own awareness, and they have tickled me to pay more attention to sound/vibration myself, bringing that angle more into conscious enjoyment in this bodymind, to excellent effect. (Whereas this bodymind's habitual sense-channels have tended to emphasize feeling/touch and sight.) Perhaps sharing different angles and (ap)perceptions can often help us to recognize more consciously the "enlightenment" that has been here all along -- as long (as Irmeli cautions) as we do not deny our own innate focus and gifts in favor of some conceptual idea we might have of another's gifts or "enlightenment-criteria." Claudio's questions seem (to me at least) to show that he is "seeing through" the old absolute/relative dichotomy, and finding that "Brahman" or Wholeness resides AS fully in the "manifest, relative" point as in the "unmanifest, absolute" Ocean. No difference. A natural progression from this would seem to be the realization that one's Wholeness is potentially as free to be ANY point-self as to be one's habitual point-self: what I would (habitually) call Krishna Consciousness. Again, just a matter of putting a bit of attention on what has been here all along. :-) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
