This all took place before you even started TM. The dogma today is not necessarily what the dogma was then. Back then there was a lot of talk about how you'd just one day experience CC and then it would be permanent from then on. There was *no* talk about people having "flashes" of CC; that showed up much later, after it began to happen. > I've always understood "CC experiences" to mean > witnessing experiences. I don't like the term witnessing, so I won't comment. I think it's a very loose and misleading term for a much broader experience. > It occurs to me that, as far as I'm aware, there isn't > a term like "witnessing" associated with the other > "higher states" in MMY's teaching, such that when the > experience it refers to became permanent, that's God > consciousness or Unity consciousness or Brahman > consciousness; "witnessing" seems to be anomalous in > that regard--perhaps because it's less complicated, > or less complicated to describe. Or because the use of "witnessing" itself is not just simple, but simplistic. :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
