Barry concludes snipped: Another aspect of the enlightenment process that one tends to see in other traditions more often than in the TM movement is just *not caring* where one is at on the "enlightenment scale." The moments of clear realization are neat, and the moments of unclear realization are neat, and the moments of non-realization are neat. There is no qualitative "better" or "best" among them. What is important in these traditions -- or in those individuals who feel this way -- is appreciating the moment itself, enjoying Now as much as it can be enjoyed, regard- less of its place on some kind of "enlightenment scale."
Tom T: >From my experience in FF there are now a large number of TMers who are no longer seekers. They have found. As one of the Weds nite guys put it. I am no longer a seeker but knowledge is now appreciated in all phases of my life. He is always finding more knowledge in his day to day existence and yet as he sees it there is no end. I like the way Jed McKenna put it. Free Fall Forever. Or as a young lady described it to Gangaji "Delightful Confusion".
