    What actually is Ignorance?

    The only real ignorance, the single cause of samsara and personal suffering, is usually explained as not knowing your true nature.

    More direct, is to know that the one that “doesn’t know their true nature” is an imaginary someone.

    It’s like who you seem to be in a dream at night that doesn’t know it’s “just a dream”. That one doesn’t wake up and realize it was just a dream; it simply vanishes upon awakening.

    There was never anyone there who “didn’t know their own true nature”; both in a dream and in waking life. So even the “ignorance” wasn’t real. Who did the ignorance belong to? There isn’t even anyone to realize their true nature.

    It’s not that there was someone suffering due to ignorance, but rather the real ignorance was the belief that there ever was a real “someone” in the dream or existing in life as a real “me”.

    Other than merely thoughts “about” a “me”, what “me” is actually there? To whom should teachings be directed? Which entity exists to perform meditative practices?

    Diamond Sutra:

    SECTION XXV. THE ILLUSION OF SELF

    "Subhuti, what do you think? Let no one say the Buddha cherishes the idea: “I must liberate all living beings”. Allow no such thought, Subhuti. Why not? Because in reality there are no living beings to be liberated by the Buddha. If there were living beings for the Buddha to liberate, He would partake in the thoughts of selfhood, personality entity, and separate individuality."

    Also from the Diamond Sutra:

    "Yet when vast, uncountable, immeasurable numbers of beings have thus been liberated, verily no being has been liberated. Why is this, Subhuti? It is because no Bodhisattva who is a real Bodhisattva cherishes the idea of an ego-entity, a personality, a being, or a separated individuality."

    The Body of Light, Buddha Mind and Buddha Nature

    From the highest, most accurate “view” of Dzogchen; you are already a fully empowered Buddha, generating your mandala, exactly as you are projecting it. Whatever your condition or status in life, you are experiencing your own projection.

    There is only the field of infinite Buddha Nature and Buddhas. These two facts just aren’t seen clearly. Not seeing these two facts clearly, is called samsara. It’s really “self sabotage” or “engaging in the sport of Buddhas”, let me explain:

    A Buddha embodies different experiences and identities through contracting its own mind state or consciousness, into ever greater densities, patterned densities of Consciousness. Buddhism metaphorically describes these differently patterned, densities of experience as the “Six Lokas”. It’s these intrinsically, inherent “patterns”, embedded within the Buddha Nature, that we call the laws of physics, as well as the evolutionary nature of Bodhicitta; as guided by the primordial Archetypes of Infinite Goodness and Unconditional Love.

    One of these levels of experience is called the human realm. Those in this human dimension, see themselves as human bodies existing in a space/time universe; a world of separate objects extending in space and time. That is simply the way the human-level mind models experience. It’s a very “dumbed down” mode of dualistic perception and mental construction.

    From the limited perceptions of the human mind, our “bodies of light” appear falsely to be physical bodies of flesh, nerves and blood. It’s just the way human minds structure reality. As our perceptual capacity increases, we begin to see how thing really are, as seen from our Buddha Eye, the Eye of Rigpa.

    We see, while in the pretense of being a limited egoic self, we are actually always a fully capable Buddha projecting an identity of “not being a Buddha”.

    As the Buddha Eye becomes our dominant mode of clear perception, we realize we were always perfect Buddhas existing in a pure Buddha realm, we only pretended otherwise. That means our current body is a Sambhogakaya “light body” now and always has been.

    The human mind constructs 3D holographic images which it then believes are accurate representations of what’s “out there”. Our mind of “luminous consciousness” looks like a physical brain to human eyes, where the brain is just how the human mind constructs and sees our center of consciousness.

    It’s not that changes in the brain alter consciousness, but rather changes in consciousness cause the brain to look differently to “human” eyes. This doesn’t invalidate brain/mind correlates, but only reverses causation from brain to consciousness. The brain can’t do anything, because it’s just a space/time mental construct representing changes in human consciousness.

    Similarly, objects in the universe have no causative capacity, because they too are just subjective, representative constructs existing only in our mind. The brain is how Consciousness looks to a human observer as the “information field” of consciousness is converted into a space/time mental and perceptual construct.

    When Consciousness looks into itself, not its constructs, it will only find the Buddha Mind, the projector of all dimensions and identities. This is our single path.

    What then is the world of perceived objects, planets, stars, people, animals and all creatures?

    There is only a single and infinite field of Buddha Nature or Consciousness. Various spherical densities of Consciousness appear as minds, like water forming as ice cubes. Each one processes the information or “outer field”, according to its own degree of density and perceptual clarity.

    The human mind bandwidth, transforms the information field of Buddha Nature into 3D, geometric space/time constructs through its sensory contacts as being limited to the five senses.

    There is no actual space/time, objectively existing universe “out there”. That universe of objects extended in space and time is only a human mind’s representation of sensory experience; its contacts with the external field of Buddha Nature.

    This is how the human mind traps itself in its own mental constructs. As taught in Madhyamaka and Prasangika Buddhist “emptiness teachings”, the universe as our world of experience, is nothing more than our mental constructs. There is no concept of a materially real, objectively existing, world of people and things in Buddhism. The relative or conventional world, is merely the vividly real, experience of our own complex, mental constructs.

    Each Buddha is projecting its own world and self identity, but all within a shared, infinite field of luminous Buddha Nature.

    Imagine an infinite ocean of Consciousness, extending in all directions, without borders, filled with an infinite number spherical ice cubes of Consciousness, with an infinite range of densities; all interacting within their own dimensions of similar density.

    Each is a fully empowered Buddha, projecting their own worlds and identities in total freedom of expression and experience; yet while all are existing in a mutually shared, single, same field of Universal Consciousness.

    Přirozenost všech jevů je neduální
    ale každý z nich ve svem vlastnim stavu je mimo omezeni mysli
    Neni zde pojmu jenz by mohl definovat stav 'toho co je'
    ale vize se presto manifestuje: vse je dobre
    Vse uz je dovrseno a tak prekonanim choroby vecneho usilovani
    povstava prirozene dokonaly stav: to je kontemplace.

    FRIENDSHIPPOWER:

    Rigpa and Anatta

    Imagine being asleep in bed while dreaming. Except in this dream “you” have no dream body, no dream identity, and no sense of being a “me” as an observer of the dream landscapes and dream events.

    There is simply a vivid clarity of perceptions without any subjective sense of being an entity in or out of the dream as a witnessing observer.

    This would be like an impersonal video camera “taking it all in” but without any sense of “it” doing so. There is no sense of a subjective self even possible for a video camera.

    Likewise, in this dream, there is “no one” present who could subjectively experience any suffering, reactivity or resistance to the dream appearances. A video camera never reacts emotionally to or resists the content of the video.

    But now, later in the dream, the subconscious starts adding a subjective sense to the “pure selfless observing”, of a conceptualized “me” to whom these dream perceptions are occurring. But the personal self-identity as an “observer” is nothing more than more dream landscape, but this time on the subjective side.

    The dream is now one of a “you”, felt as a personal “me”, with a dream body “who” is experiencing the exterior landscapes and events of the dream. The dreamed self as an experiencer is no more real than the dreamed tigers and dreamed trees. All is a projection of the subconscious mind. It’s a subconscious mind, because there is no consciousness of its own projecting.

    The next step in this exercise is to suddenly see that what I described regarding a dream state, is also what’s occurring in the ordinary, daytime, waking state. The mechanisms of selfing are identical.

    A good example would be a newborn baby. We assume its first moments are not very subjective and personal. There is just a vivid kaleidoscope of colors, sounds and sensations. As months go by, slowly a centralized “me” becomes an ever more present feature of cognitive life. After a couple of years, the self as a subjective sense of “me” begins to become a rather permanent feature of daily life. As an adult, this sense of “me” can become such a solid and ever-present feature of consciousness, that it is never even questioned regarding its authenticity and validity.

    It’s this artificial “me” that resists, grasps and suffers. It’s just a story line narrative, that arises from the subconscious due to conditioning. It’s “subconscious” because the “me” doesn’t see or know any of this.

    However, and it’s a big however, the subconscious can suddenly cease projecting this dream-like “me” identity. Then what remains is the exact same landscapes and perceptual events, but without any sense of anyone observing them. The “middle man” dropped out. There are just vivid perceptions without a personal perceiver.

    In Dzogchen we call the resulting awareness, “naked rigpa”. It’s crisply aware, but without it being a “personally” present subject as an experiencing participant.

    If the body is sitting in the kitchen for example, there is just the vivid perceptions of the kitchen itself occurring from the perspective of the body’s eyes; but without any “I am observing the kitchen”.

    This is nirvana; where a non-subjective aware presence (naked rigpa) exists, but with no “personal” self there having perceptual experiences to savor, resist or contemplate.

    The conceptualizing mind only functions or “thinks” when the personal self is being subconsciously projected. Naked awareness or rigpa has nothing to think about because there is no self to be concerned about something to think about.

    Notice after reading this, how the “me” (as selfing processes) will try to sense how the experience of “being without a me” would feel like. The self wants to sample the experience of its own absence, but without actually being absent to the experience. It wants to have that new experience without actually losing itself.

    That which notices the “me”, trying to sense the feeling of being without a “me”, is not the “me”. It’s naked rigpa; where the “me” has dropped away from being the “receiving center” of perception (I am perceiving), to being demoted to the status of just being more impersonal scenery, like the kitchen sink.

    This is either suddenly seen in crystal clarity (naked rigpa) or it isn’t. There is no gradual middle-ground. The middle-ground understanding, would just be more conceptual understanding to benefit the “me” in its quest to “get this”.

    This is very subtle and tricky stuff... The “me” illusion has been around in humans for maybe a million Earth years. It seems to be a distinguishing feature of the species. But in “real time”, it has never been anything more than just entertaining scenery for the one who has never been identified with the one, seeming to be a “me”.

    No Separate Places

    Nirvana and samsara won’t be found in separate places or in separate times: the empty nature of samsara is itself nirvana. Not seeing the empty nature of nirvana is itself samsara.

    Pure Awareness and afflicted mind won’t be found in separate places or in separate times. The empty nature of the afflicted mind is itself Pure Awareness. Not seeing the empty nature of Pure Awareness is the afflicted mind.

    The ego-self and no-self won’t be found in separate places or in separate times. The empty nature of the ego-self is indeed the no-self. Clinging to the empty nature of the no-self is indeed itself, the presence of the ego-self. The imagined non-existence of the one, is the imagined existence of the other.

    Wisdom and ignorance won’t be found in separate places or in separate times. Seeing the empty nature of ignorance is itself wisdom. Not seeing the empty nature of wisdom is indeed ignorance not seen.

    Obstacles and release won’t be found in separate places or in separate times. The empty nature of obstacles is their own release. Not seeing the empty nature of freedom and release, we are bound and obstacled by our own freedom and shackled without release.

    We won’t find peace and turbulence in separate places nor in separate times. The empty nature of turbulence is itself our long sought peace. Not seeing the empty nature of our peace, we turn peace into turbulence, like crashing waves that never seem to cease.

    Not seeing the emptiness of our current condition we search for realization near and far. Realization is the ever present emptiness of our current condition however it may appear. Awareness can only be found as the luminous and knowing emptiness that is exactly what and where we always are.

    unfindability and undefinability - applied on your life and your fellow human beings, on your sufferings and confusions stemming from this life and universe
    KOCOURMIKES
    KOCOURMIKES --- ---
    When taken very deeply, unfindability is incredibly freeing. Reality stops making sense, in the best way. There is peace, love and compassion in this seeing. There is relief from suffering. And yet all of those things are ultimately unfindable. You have not only made the case against awareness, you have made the case against everything, leaving only a mirage-like, illusory, conventional reality that is infused with impermanence. We suffer because we think things are permanent – life, death, stories, identities, awareness, suffering, labels. When none of that is seen as findable and permanent, all suffering around those things relaxes. All of that “I know how things really are” kind of thinking falls away. All of your absolutes fall away. Your relience on the inference of awareness falls away. This is a joyful way to live. Highly recommended!
