Theorists Avoid Absolute Truth
Theorists prefer second-hand information; an imitation of truth.
They defer responsibility to others,
avoiding first-hand experience of the silence of wisdom.
Theorists want to acquire knowledge.
Practitioners know they are the knowledge.
We have to know what we are looking for,
see it, and drop it.
BUDDHA IN THE MUD is a blog - a living book based on the Dzogchen teachings. Our teacher is life, and life is karma. We are all Buddhas in the mud of concepts. 
In the context of direct perception words like: ABSOLUTE TRUTH, GOOD, KNOWLEDGE, have no meaning…
Compassion, empathy, love are good as an expression of the clarity of understanding and realisation, otherwise we fall into nihilism.

In the context of direct perception the presence of compassion, empathy radiance and love are not aimed by an “ego” but reveiled unconditionally per se.No room for thinking nihilism in the absence of “ego”… then and there the game is overed. In this blessed state of direct perception the presence of the original consciousness is thoughtlessly functioning.
Alas… I wish it lasted longer… but this rare given gift cannot be planed or pursued! The only remaining after effect is humility.
We all go through dark periods, the secret is to know that it is the light of pure consciousness that notices this.
