i just read an article on beliefnet about the translucent revolution. i am going to include the link at the bottom of the post so that if anyone wants to read it, he/she can. basically, it is talking about action being the result of enlightenment, vs. separation from the human tribe as most people believe enlightened individuals are. the theory is that you love your life, and in turn you don't need life to fill you up and make you happy, make you "me." once you see the bigger picture, your daily life becomes an outward extension of your need to give instead of take. a translucent person, as i am understanding it, is seeing that giving back is the best way to learn. you are a seeker, and not a taker, and you can be translucent through your work. it is basically a concept of living in the present, and being aware of all that is here, and then trying to make it better by participating in living in a meaningful, helpful way. by doing that, we will be in an "happy zone" for the most part.
the article is an interview with the author of the book, and it also has some links to a list of the other authors who were interviewed or are considered to be translucents.
