Magic

Magic isn't really of much interest from the point of view of Dzogchen...  Because everything is magic simply by being as it is...  If you’re open to seeing and hearing—and sensating through all the senses—everything is magic.

Moments of magic

In spite of our compulsion to distance ourselves from the texture of our experience, we do also value the qualities of immediacy and spontaneity. Most people can remember moments of magic in their lives; moments when their consciousness was naturally expansive. Moments when there was a feeling of spaciousness – when everything unfolded with a sense of wonder and ease. This is possible when we have unguarded moments – moments when we forget to mix in our pre-structured concepts with what we perceive.

Magic

"Seeing the magic of existence requires an open mind and a certain lack of rigid co-ordinates"
