It seems to me that the states of mind people refer to as states of "enlightenment" are shifts of awareness that are more fundamental than a compulsion to return to a favorite emotion (outrage for example). I'm quite sure I'm in over my head in a discussion of your state of awareness, but isn't your experience a shift concerning your relationship of your identity (Self) with your thoughts and feelings? This should give you more choices concerning where you put your attention within your thoughts and feelings options, right? Although you may not be choosing the state itself and its perspective, it seems to me that it is different from a person feeling compelled to think a certain thought or harbor a specific feeling. The lack of choice may be the same, but the outcome is almost the exact opposite. I think Turq's speculation of a lack of self-reflective ability may be on the mark. I appreciate that you are open to discussing your subjective experiences. Although I might use different language to describe my own internal experience, the subject fascinates me whatever the language used. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Rory Goff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" > <curtisdeltablues@> wrote: > > > > Hey Geezer, > <snip> > > > Judy is a different story.
