Yes very much like Suzanne Seagal. It's there in Maharshi's discourse, but it is more overt in Buddhist literature.
I found her story very interesting but also quite funny. Apparently some people didn't listen when he was describing the transition from TC into CC in terms of subjective experience. "Oh, I will be expanded into unbounded consciousness" must have been her thought, and shows she definitely did not listen and had no clue. The futility of looking for an I to keep for a reference was highlighted by MMY a number of times. She also had a very intense attachment to her Jewish identity, something I found hilarious. The continual need to search out such an "identify" to make sure it was still findable caused her lots of suffering, all of it self induced. >From Reb Yonnasan Gershom's book, Beyond the Ashes, I learned just how crystallized a Jewish identity could be circulating across many life times just to keep itself intact. Bullshit karma but at last she gave it up, realized the illusion and worked to help other people. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Peter L Sutphen <drpetersutp...@...> wrote: > > Yes very much like Suzanne Segal.
