You got some wild wiring up there, KK. [Speaking of which, (ot) did ya see that cloned dog today from the Far East?   Maybe you were made out of a dahl subjee seed?]  Man, what an image you painted there.

As you might be aware, I skoff (sp?) at most things (especially new age, religious and philosophical) and am cynical as the day is hot as shit, but loved your post here.  I really didn't get Knowledge when the techniques were revealed to me.  I just didn't get it.  I had a ZERO EXPERIENCE.  It took me many years of trying to meditate to actually have some kind of experience once every seven years.  I was into the devotion, bhakti; the rest was just window dressing, as it actually turned out to be. 

However, on this very F8, are Mike Finch and many others who actually are into meditation, discussing realms of consciousness, self-awareness and the like.  I'm more a box score kind of guy.  To each his own, unless one is a devotee of some egomaniacal cult leader, then it's agya and gold-plated flying toilet seats.

However, I am taken aback by your experience stated of seeing M for the first time.  Blown back.  Don't know what to say.  I think many others here might be able to respond 100% better than I.  And I hope they do.

Like so many "lucky" ones, we were of  the gopi gnenration.  It was lovely, but, as we learned later, a destructive, mind-numbing cult of Malibu Barbies and Kens from the Punjab.
