Great question, and one I was thinking about some after writing this post. All I can really say is that while technically all are blazing Brahman already, some appear to blaze a lot brighter than others in this moment -- i.e., probably have done enough work clarifying the intellect and so on that Brahman is more self-evident in them; their attention-field is obviously waves of light and so on. To me anyhow: because they are (presumably) travelling inside the light-wave of their own attention, they don't appear to see it; they only tend to notice that the erstwhile-heavy object of their unconditional attention is "lightening up" into bliss and so on. It is simply that they had been unaware of the "tamasic" or darkening/thickening approach they had taken in resisting, avoiding or ignoring the particle of ignorance :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
