Love radiates

The love which radiates from our primordial natural state cannot help but sparkle through – no matter how insecure, frightened, isolated, anxious, or bewildered we become.

Reliable and unreliable

The Lama is both ultimately reliable and relatively unreliable.  The Lama is ultimately reliable with respect to Vajrayana – and relatively unreliable with regard to supporting dualistic neuroses.

Thespianism

The nondual stage is thespianism sans: rehearsal; sans script; sans narrative; sans intermission; sans intimation of a final scene – and sans the requirement of playing a part.

Worry is wonderful.

Worry is wonderful.  Worry is the perfect indication that one relies on thought when thought fails to accomplish what one wishes it to accomplish.  If a tool repeatedly failed to work it would be jettisoned.  That is all there is to understand in respect of thought as the universal remedy.

Vajra commitment

Vajra commitment is the openness to questioning arrogant, unkind, selfish, manipulative, or thoughtless behaviour.  This is the only kind of vajra commitment in which we are actually interested.
