Yes, I meant steeped. But seep, though awkward in this context, fits also. Its funny. As I was falling to sleep, I suddenly jolted to a more awake state, "did I just say 'seeped' !!??

One thing that has always struck with me from MMY's teachings / proverbs, is that "Progress unfolds through the opposite steps of expansion and contraction." This is quite similar to "brainstorming" exercises, where one, or a group, is first encouraged to freely dream, imagine and throw out any and all ideas / solutions, no matter how wild and impractical, without any criticing or constraints. Once a good list is compiled, one then goes back through the list with full analytical faculties engaged, paring down the excesses, assessing practicalities of implemtation, etc. And looking how to make the "dream" work. Its a right brain left brain sort of thing, alternating their use, and then synthesizing the best of each. MMY's programs always remind me of the best of the expansive side of the exercise. Its a good example of lettng go of boundaries and using the full stoke of creativity and expansiveness to see and structure a new 'vision of possibilities'. What is missing, or more charitably, what he leaves up to the "student" to do, is to follow-up with the critical, analytical phase of the process of making the vision practical, with its feet on the ground.
