This is what I get from this paragraph. The mechanic " appeared " to be

living a happier life than the spiritual aspirant. Duh. 99% of my

friends " appear " to be happy, functional, and well-adjusted because

their dysfunctional addictive thinking systems have sufficiently

numbed themselves out enough so that they cannot feel the pain. A

spiritual aspirant from that very definition no longer finds external

or internal (external) solutions numbing enough so looks for a way out

of all this suffering.

I honor the fact that you do not assume all people are aiming for LOC

#999 yet, even though everyone is on the road, the delicacy of leaving

a human to be self determined is mimicking exactly how it is. If

someone doesn't want it, forcing it on them doesn't really work - ever.

And in that, we are indeed all equal.

Yes, you have to embrace this level of consciousness before moving on

to the next. I agree.

Would you rather be a happy pig than a thinking Socrates ?

Jan,

I'm so pleased that you finally agree with me about something--I know it

doesn't mean much, but it does feel good!
