Now I "get it"
Now I "get it"
Speaking relatively for years I was seeking, but what I was seeking for was not something to be found outside of this experience.
Intellectual study is beyond my comprehension, thus caused confusion, but with this direct experience, everything that confused me is understood.
Such peace, laughter, hahaha
now to stabilize it and continue with it
the simplicity is the hard part...

Sounds good to me.
Simplicity and stability. That should keep you occupied for quite a while . . .

The Blessed One said:
"What is the All? Simply the eye & forms, ear & sounds, nose & aromas, tongue & flavors, body & tactile sensations, intellect & ideas. This, monks, is called the All. Anyone who would say, 'Repudiating this All, I will describe another,' if questioned on what exactly might be the grounds for his statement, would be unable to explain, and furthermore, would be put to grief. Why? Because it lies beyond range." Sabba Sutta.

Re: Now I "get it"
Because primordial natural losseness is completely unfabricated. So stability can't be practiced. Therefore one have to make a strong decision and the fruit is relative stability. This can take years and decades. If knowledge is relative stable, potentiality begins to unfold. That's the beginning of thögal. True stability without thögal is not possible, because solid vision isn't the exact expression of knowledge. The thin ignorance-layer of solid vision always creates confusion.lobster wrote: Simplicity and stability. That should keep one occupied for quite a while . . .

Re: Now I "get it"
In the beginning stability must be practiced, and practiced diligently. It is said that initially the practitioner chases the meditation and later once stability has occurred, the meditation chases the practitioner. Without achieving that stability though, there is no hope of becoming stable. Your nature is always stable, you however are not. So it is a matter of familiarization and continually returning to that knowledge. Effortlessness comes in time.thigle wrote:Because primordial natural losseness is completely unfabricated.

Stability must be practiced. The fact that primordial wisdom is unfabricated is irrelevant, the path consists of you working with your knowledge of primordial wisdom.

Re: Now I "get it"
I can put ones mind at ease; this decision is really hard work for years or decades. During this time, a lot happened. So the first is in general to remove all faults; now based on ones authentic knowledge of primordial knowledge. This only can be decisions.

Quite right, it is the conditions for stability that one (not 'you' - right again) must enable. Any gain, arising, or 'getting it' will be temporary unless it is 'the ungraspable'/'unborn' etc.
Re: Now I "get it"
From whom have you received Dzogchen instruction ' lobster.'..just out of interest ?
Or do you not consider that important when replying to a Dzogchen thread ?

Re: Now I "get it"
So, if one can't understand the necessity of such decisions instead of practicing stability, one never has realized immediate knowledge before. This step isn't a personal fabrication, it is just the consequence what follows after temporary recognicing immediate knowledge. This decision is absolutely consistent with the ZZNG-tantras I know.lobster wrote:Quite right, it is the conditions for stability that one must enable.thigle wrote:Because primordial natural losseness is completely unfabricated.

Re: Now I "get it"
A timely reminder Malcolm...He 'lobster' , is also a master of Shingon Buddhism and a Sufi master.
He also can intuitively tell the attainments of teachers... because he has siddhis.
Most teachers, he has stated, do not reach his standards.
We are lucky to have him condescending to teach us.

Re: Now I "get it"
I'm talking about Dzogchen in an deluded Dzogchen'like forum, because nobody talks about Dzogchen, but everybody calls it Dzogchen and beliefes this is Dzogchen. This is dangerous and causes much confusion. Especially for the invisible readers now and in the future. So, it's better to close this public forum or this self-destructive obligation of secrecy falls, which has much worse effects for the teachings, than doing the teachings publicly. So I'm always talking first to the invisible reader. The last postings about "decisions" can't be misunderstood, only not understood.Malcolm wrote: You realize you are talking to an "arhat", right?
Re: Now I "get it"
The point Malcolm is making thigle, is that 'lobster' has declared himself to be an arhat.
He has also claimed that via his siddhis he was able to access 'pointing out' instructions without a particular teacher realising that he had been 'hacked' as it were.
And that as a result 'lobster' came to the conclusion that Dzogchen was just another conventional path.
His whole C.V. is in the public domain if you know where to look.
