<< Yes, children can see a few things with amazing clarity to the point that
they disregard everything else; but isn't that idea of clarity and purity
the entire basis of spirituality?
Don't worry, I don't expect a response from this list anymore, but
hopefully it's worth thinking about.

heh, very good response to my response, and I hope I can give you a good
response to your response :)
Yes, clarity and purity are important components of meaningful spirituality.
The negative manner in which I spoke of it, tho, related to blindness and
false clarity. When we come to clarity after a long, hard look--after looking
so hard we've almost gone blind--that's maturity. When we have an immature
clarity we see only the corner of the canvas and treat it as the whole thing,
staying blind to the rest....
