Being Complicit
Being complicit is supporting a morally corrupt principal.
This is how evil works on the unwitting – those unaware of all the facts.
We are born fully aware in the moment now, but gradually we learn to conform to bolster up the collective attitude of obedience, which is our downfall. This results in a lack of freedom to think for ourselves, turning us away from realising the truth about being consciousness rather than a product of the mind.
We are more concerned about how we appear to others than the truth. We can therefore be manipulated into not to rocking the boat – saying or doing anything that disturbs the status quo – to live our lives in a community of fragility, lacking integrity.
Talking about the Buddha’s teaching in direct, everyday terms rather than in elaborate language and ‘magical’ display is upsetting to adherents. We are too ready to stick to ideas, and this great sticky illusion is the devil’s playground,
We are complicit
when we do not care about everyone,
but follow everyone.
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. 
And when we don’t care what our chances are! We let the two killers of truth, fear and greed, stop us for seeing what we look at over long ages of time because we are complicit and conniving and serving our own self-centered purposes to have what we think is our best chance at a future we think is desirable. We have to stop thinking and live in spontaneous response to what is called for regardless of what our chances are!
