Thought I'd add the final 3 tweets I posted in order to clarify the difference I see between authentic self-realization and comparing oneself to (and striving toward) a pre-digested ideal... @mbogle Yes, the ideal is often pursued. Instead of seeing what one is, one is told (or reads) how one is supposed to be. Trying to *become* @mbogle But that is very different than seeing oneself in action. When that happens, change is instant. Time isn't involved. @mbogle Some organized religions promote becoming a described ideal. But IMO, that is (figuratively and literally) a waste of time.
