If it didn't resonate on *any* level, I probably wouldn't even be aware of its existence. For something to even enter my field of awareness, it has to resonate somewhere in me. :-) But I believe I know what you mean, and depending on how much I respected the other(s), I guess I would either discard the diagnosis or table it for later. > (Let's remember the specific diagnosis we're > talking about here: that I am trying to avoid > becoming enlightened.) Is that something I diagnosed in you? I have forgotten; I do remember saying that in my heart you are already enlightened, and I seem to remember you rather resisted that. So I might say that in favoring the resistance you are trying to avoid BEING enlightened, while actively attempting to BECOME enlightened, and the latter nicely allows the former. :-) > I mean, I honestly don't know what to say to > that.
