<DIV>So does consciousness <U>always</U> expand? Probably not -- as
doubtless there are folks who enter as curmudgins and leave in a similar
condition. I can attest to that very personally. Having said all that, I
think it is also important to note that "expanded consciousness" is probably not
an absolute. As in you either got it or don't got it. For me it is always a
process, a journey of expand<U>ing</U> consciousness. So even us curmudgins
probably grow a little bit, or at least we can see the
possibility.<BR>******************</DIV>
<DIV>I appreciate your words here, Harrison. I have experienced
"curmudgins" as holding a key pole position in the process of expanding
consciousness. Holding that position so well that others are free to fly —
and I often hear from the curmudgins by email after!!</DIV>
