The time is now

So, the time to appreciate anyone is now. It’s not tomorrow. It’s not next week – or with some idea that you'll meet them again in another life. The time is now and the next life is tomorrow.

Divisive logic

Duality—in one sense—is the artificial separation of experience into two fields: ‘perception’ and ‘field of perception’. This divisive logic distances us analytically from direct experience.

The inconceivable view of Dzogchen

Phenomenal existence—experienced either as duality or nonduality—is simply display. One must realise their inseparability as the natural state. The natural state is all-encompassing, all-pervasive space. It is inexpressible spacious clarity. This is the inconceivable view of Dzogchen – do do not ruin presence of natural mind with obsessive techniques and mental constructs.

One would not need to test it

If one actually had power, one would not need to test it. If one’s power was only there for the benefit of others – then the fact that others had greater power would have no relevance.
