Mauri,
Yes, I not sure exactly what I have experienced, but via "speculation"
I know that my changed states of being, if not beness, are certainly more purified, if not but for a moment.
So,even if the connection is not entirely open for consistent divine influence, it seems that something gets through and shows up in a worthy attempt at right thot, word and deed.
That rightness, we may say, reflects principle, along with awareness of that subtle correspondence between principle and practice.
So,if there is any practical value to all this, it seems that there would be at least subtle differences in behavior informed by the divine influence, which I call Principle, to include all the other names of the divine, et. al and the rarieied states.
Not meaning to oversimplify, but I think it is that simple, when we do not complicate it and sincerely allow that glimpse of beness to show up, through all the struggle on the path of becoming and the state of being.
Glimmers of that pristine skill come through, don't you think.
As for the karmic soup in which we swim, I imagine that this environment is necessary to our progress. We do not evolve in the cave any more in this new Aquarian age. We seem to be challenged to do it under any and all conditions.
We when we are able to act appropriately under any condition, then we may be headed towards that state that registers neither good or bad karma. I call them Zero Points.
Just speculating also,

I think I might be trying to say here
that anything short of Beness is karmic,
interpretive, mayavic, (according to
Mahayana Buddhism, I think). Not that
lots of things aren't seen as helpful,
obviously enough. And, for all I know,
there might be many reasons why one
might find a "much better" w/Whatever
between here and Beness, so ... I don't
even seem to have experienced samadhi,
so what can I say ...
Speculatively,
Mauri
