Yep, just conjecturing here too. Though one could perhaps make a case for rishi as being predominant in the enlivenment of C.C., devata in G.C. and chhandas in U.C. (as I have done with my 9-chakra-model system of the 27 states of being, soncsiousness, and bliss), and thus in that sense sequential, it is after all just another model and you know I don't really hold with sequential milestones being de rigeur anyhow :-)
