Thank you Lee (and Cory). Your words "I have yet to attain pure awareness" made me think of a quote by the unfathomable Chinese Zen priest Joshu: "Once you have seen eye to eye with me, it is no different." I hesitated to relate this, but it kept coming back to me over the course of the day. Thank you for the dredging efforts Nicholas.
