OK. I think you're suggesting that it's something of an infinite regress, that one can be overshadowed by the desire not to be overshadowed. But that's the nature of the beast, part of why ignorance is so sticky. The point I was making to Rory, though, is that with me it's not a matter of having some set of idealized criteria for realization, i.e., what I expect realization to be like; rather, my single criterion for realization is *not* having the fundamental criterion for ignorance. I don't know what it's like to be realized; I do know what it's like to be ignorant, in other words. ------------------------ Yahoo!
