A zen monk was enthuastically telling the Master about his

wonderful meditation experience.

"Then I saw the Buddha and he spoke to me and the K. flowed and

there was rainbow plumes and I lifted ou of this body. Then....."

The Master interrupted and said,

"I think you must of had your spine a little bit out of alignment!"

 

Seems that real progrss has a lot to do with acceptance of slow and

steady advances.

In the therapy I do, we have noticed that a great sudden gain, that we

call 'Ascension' or 'going up th pole' is usually followed by a fall and

depression but when one looks back and see how it was 6 mths ago compared

with now. That is awareness of real progress!

When I met the Dalai Llama for the first time and spent a few hours in his

company with a small group, I was truck by just how ordinary

he seemed. Yet, to me, there was peace and acceptance in his ordinariness. I

realized then that enlightenment is really just the

luxury of being able to be our ordinary selves without all the mind games,

projected self-images and delusions to keep up! I remember

Yogi Bhajan once saying something to the effect that, when he became

enlightened, it was such a simple realization that he actually

asked his teacher if that was all there was to it. (Nevertheless, I must say

that Yogi Bhajan's presence always struck me as something

more intense and powerful than just "ordinary.")
