ex-I,
There is a small problem I face with this: for one to "measure" the percentage of perfection one possesses at any given time, I believe that one must know exactly how to read off the "scale" of perfection!
One way to do this could be by using a "benchmark", e.g., "God" could represent 100% perfection. In order to read the measurement, one needs to know exactly what it is like to be "God". This is the whole problem in this endeavor, I believe. Logically, if the boundaries are not set right on the scale, any reading is likely to be erroneous. Moreover, even if such a reading is possible, I believe that it would be for that individual only, kind of like "each having their own bio-metric readers".
Hence, I am afraid I am unable to answer that.
I do not doubt your (and others') experiences with the BKWSU. I trust you on that. All I am thinking, and thus sharing with you, is: could all these experiences have a different meaning? Maybe if we discard the "BKism" and stick to pure reasoning and logic of the whole deal? Maybe if we go beyond just the literal meanings of the words? I am not asking you these questions and so you do not have to reply to these questions. I intend these to be more introvert. Also, I have already presented some of my thoughts about these questions. However, this does not mean that I would not want you to share your thoughts on these questions if you would want to (so that it is needless to mention about how no one can change anyone else).
Om Shanti! Satyamev Jayate!

90% ... 80% ... 60% ... 40% ... 3% ... 2% ... 1%? Please put a figure on it?
And what percent are we by comparison?

Believe me, I have been inside, you have not.
