I'm not recalling Rene ever having suggested that she was "fully aware of it all the time," rat. Maybe I'm forgetting, or maybe she said such a thing and I missed it.
'Bliss Intoxication' doesn't appeal to me, and I'm guessing it doesn't appeal to Rene either. I think that when most people refer to 'enlightenment' or 'the enlightened,' they're thinking of Bliss Intoxication.
People like to imagine that the Dalai Lama, for example, never experiences anger, sadness, or regrets.
Sort of like 'Jesus Didn't have a Penis,' but for Eastern thinkers. lol.
