Not at all. The analogy was in response to your or some anon questioning why I had said that spritual seekers were relatively few in the general population. Again, you want to hold on to this idea of an elephant being grander than an ant. This is the small ego making such distinctions. One learns over time to hold the relative differences of one state of evolution distinct from another without the small ego adding, "...and therefore, the more evolved state of evolution is superior..."

The only thing to say about it is that, yes, the state of freedom is a much more enjoyable state. > You and Rick appear to have polar opposite difintions of liberation. > Which of you are living what you expouse?
