Ascending To Nowhere
Social class creates social climbers on a ladder to nowhere. We just join the queue by conforming. All systems have a hierocracy, ruled by priests of science, religion, politics, armed guardians, media … which control society and the workers. Sounds like a pyramid scheme!
How to drop out:
Watch the queue and see who’s in it.
That should put you off!

Ascension is knowing what is within now here, rather than without. The more that we realise, the more we ascend the levels. Realisation is seeing the true meaning of life clearly – and whatever tries to obscure 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. 
“Watch the queue and see who’s in it. That should put you off!” Aah… but this is a dangerous corner for the ignorance to take hold of the less aware among us- it could potentially start a chain of judgements- first I judge others who are in the que, then I judge myself for judging them, then I feed my ego for not being a part of that que…all this simply shoving me in another parallel que of holding a higher moral ground!
I guess this is a test like everything else, through which- the more wise among us can see all of it as a game of illusion, remaining untouched and free- while the less ripened ones could be fooled, slipping into the cunning grip of the ego with a false sense of superiority here 🙂
Hello Ramble
Everyone has their own path to travel, and that path is a matter of clearing away individual confusion. The important thing is our motivation, our ability to be honest, and empathy for others. And … it’s quite challenging! Tony
