I don't mind if people like to interpret cessation a certain way. My objection here was importing a DhO type understanding into other realms where they clearly don't belong. I'm sure if Kenneth taught that seeing a blue pearl was key to enlightenment, then we'd have everyone saying blue pearls are THE signpost. Not only that, but I'm sure we'd see a marked increase in reports of blue pearl sightings. It may work and make sense within a system, but why do we need to claim it is THE way in ALL systems? Why can't systems simply be different? I've experienced so many "signs" in my spiritual life that I should be a Buddha by now. A lot of these signs can simply end up as jewels for the egos crown anyway.
I used to think I lost consciousness when I fell asleep. Over time, I reached a point where I can wander in and out of sleep states. I discovered I was aware after all. Maybe there is a similar mistake with blipping, who knows? The good news is even without official, trademark blip experiences, the techniques on this site will lead to increased wakefulness, decreased wanting, less suffering, and true spiritual transformation.
