I'm afraid there are limits to my imagination. Seriously, Rory, that kind of stuff just doesn't resonate with me. It feels like the spiritual equivalent of the worst kind of psychobabble. Transcending, I get. It works for me; it's taking me in the right direction. What I described has become less and less compelling, less "sticky," over the years. I'm not complaining about my situation, as some would like you to believe (because it provides greater opportunities for them to make putdowns). My "complaint," such as it is, has always been about people telling me I can't trust my own experience and should believe what I'm told my experience "really" is by those whose experience is different. ------------------------ Yahoo!
