It would *appear* the "Pyramid People" represent a crystallized understanding that is less than full or whole, as their sense of self seems not to encompass the awareness of self-as-everyone, or everyone-in-self -- so that they are not availing themselves of the dynamic joy of growing with "others" as ever more ignorance is dissolved into one's bliss. In other words, by artificially or "prematurely" limiting their sense of self, they are actually depriving themselves of deeper and deeper understandings and identifications with other aspects of "god" and "human" and what it means to be both of these simultaneously ... of course, this whole thing is but another "story"... :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
