The Rabbit Hole And Dzogchen

‘Down the rabbit hole’ is a quotation from the fantasy story of “Alice In Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll, where things got curiouser and curiouser. We live in such a place of illusions in our minds, and don’t realise how far down the rabbit holes we’ve come.

When we’ve been round and round the rabbit holes long enough, and realised that this always results in the same confusion, it all stops and we wake up from the dream = Dzogchen!

Dzogchen is just a Tibetan word
for pure consciousness.
There are many other words that have the same meaning.

Putting the Dharma teachings to the test is exactly the same, as we go round and round looking for something astonishing – some curiosity, which is extremism – while not accepting that our reality is the simplest of the simplest – pure consciousness.

Pure consciousness has no elaborations.
No bells, no whistles.
No vajras or thigh bone trumpets,
which are all very curious in themselves.
🙂

Life is an illusion of mental projections to which consciousness mistakenly clings, and where everyone has a different version of reality and ego. Once we realise this, life isn’t a struggle any more, because we know the world is crazy and why, and that’s all right. It’s all right according to everyone’s personal karma.

Not knowing is the problem.
Knowingness is Dzogchen.
We are Dzogchen.

Dzogchen is empty cognisance, within which all fantasies dwell.
