I have a confession to make.

[Unbound]

How one uses this realization is much more important in terms of participating here than the actual realization itself. 

I agree with this on one hand, but on the other I think this is somewhat inconsiderate of the actual vividness and impact this kind of realization can have upon a person.

Impact such as that which fuels fanaticism and zealotry? Oh wait "transcendent knowingness". People are always held responsible for their "revelations", regardless of how tightly they may or may not identify with them.

What are you implying, that all revelatory experience leads to inflated ego?

This all seems, to me, to be the same classic conflict of concept between different perceptions. There is ever believers and non-believers, skeptics and supporters, doubters and those with faith and a whole myriad middle spectrum of uncertainty, disinterest, indifference, curiosity, amusement, compassion, disregard, enthusiasm, etc, etc.

This topic in particular seems to breed this conflict because of the "fantastic"ness of what is being expressed.

Also, frankly I don't feel anymore resolved about the situation, and it is increasingly uncomfortable for me to post simply because I largely feel I no longer have anything worthwhile to say and that makes me sad. Maybe it's better for me to continue my detachment from the forum. Either way, these are just my own thoughts and feelings and no one else's, blessings to you all, I wish you well.

I am sure this will be taken as "angst", but apparently it's okay to feel emotions, go figure. Peace.
