picking it up & laying it down

a rising tone vibrates with calm intensity, personality becomes fluid, awareness centers on a unified matrix of living energy pervading space, boundaries of subject and object dissipate, an overwhelmingly ecstatic wave of pure being radiates from the abyss, holiness is announced, sacredness embodied

Yes. But don't forget to take the garbage out when you're done intoning. Remember to smile and wave at the garbage guys if you see them on your street. Your account was incomplete. I was just filling in a return to the market-place scenario. Nobody lives for long at the peak of a very high mountain, so unless one is planning to die up there, you have to come down again, and live in the world. Be sure your peak experience manifests in the valley.

Most people actually die descending, because they ran out of oxygen. They should have never summited in the first place, they weren't making good time, but did so because they were too stubborn to turn around. I think there are like 200 bodies littered on Everest.
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Yes and what does that entail? in my opinion, it entails living a life guided by virtue rather than vice.

the embodiment of our realizations is an ever evolving process, there is an infinity to recall and reclaim and with each experience we are afforded the opportunity to release more of our illusion & integrate more of our true nature.

I think it simply means the flame can burn bright but will burn out if continued... A consistent and maintained enlightenment/virtuous life.
