>>Rather than the path of altruism taking one so far, and no
further--holding onto any image will never let one get any higher than
the manasic plane. Altruism, at least will enable one to remain a
purified Bodhisattva until the end of the Kalpa--whereupon one will be
reborn as a fully enlightened (relatively, on that level) Adi Buddha
soul.

Imagination alone won't take anyone as far as altruism.
I agree with that, Leon. All I am saying is that both are
beginnings. Imagination leads to direct experience,
just like altruism leads to bodhisattvahood. If you
want to wait until the end of this kalpa, then you are
certainly free to do so. My point is that we probably
don't need to wait so long.
