Are We Made To Believe?
Are we made to believe in a deity or a self?
Either way, these are merely ideas.
When we believe anything, we are caught up in an illusion, a duality, a conundrum that creates confusion … “Is there or isn’t there?” Once we agree to believe, we can be encoded to believe anything.
Non-duality is pure awareness with no identity.
That is what we are.
Sitting in room, there is just the room,
without relating to a deity, self or ideas about phenomena.
Pure awareness is the ultimate truth we seek.
It is not make-believe as, by it, everything is known.
We will all wake up
– but not at the same time.
We are not all one consciousness, otherwise when one person realises their true reality, we all would. That doesn’t happen. Even Buddhas can’t do that, but they leave clues for us to piece together. 🙂
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. 
When the one who awakens or is enlightened, that being also sees the Buddha/Christ-nature of all other beings. We might not have realized it yet, but we are all Buddhas or Christs in the making. Our lenses have just been clogged and we don’t realize our true nature. Though art that.
Hello Wind,
Spot on!

The one who awakens or is enlightened, sees the the Buddha/Christhood of all beings. We are all Buddhas and Christs in the making, our lenses just have been clogged. There is unity of Being which is not seen, until it is. Though art That.
