Oh, on the topic of stagnation, it is actually quite simple. Things that stagnate are things that don't move. That's why water stagnates, because it stops flowing. When water flows, it gets cleaned and purified and so is no longer stagnant. This is just the principle of momentum and inertia. That's what people don't realize is that you have to build some momentum and then eventually inertia will keep you going, but from a resting, resistant state of depression it takes a lot of energy to get momentum going and built up enough for it to start flowing on its own. The same is like working out when you are out of shape. It's gonna burn for the first while until you build enough momentum for it to carry itself.
Quote:We cannot offer shortcuts to enlightenment. Enlightenment is of the moment, is an opening to intelligent infinity. It can only be accomplished by the self, for the self. Another self cannot teach/learn enlightenment, but only teach/learn information, inspiration, or a sharing of love, of mystery, of the unknown that makes the other-self reach out and begin the seeking process that ends in a moment, but who can know when an entity will open the gate to the present?
