Going Beyond Rational Thinking
Rational thinking is conventional thinking; we do this and this, because we always do this and this. It makes sense, to a certain level.
Rational thinking is vertical programming; it’s colouring in between the lines, thinking or acting within generally accepted guidelines. When we colour inside the lines, we follow the rules and stick to the script.
Consciousness isn’t inside the lines – it’s outside.
It is the meaning of life.
Irrational doesn’t fit in to concepts.
The mind brightens at the unusual – OH!
It’s beautiful, and unexpected.
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. 
Like the wonder and awe of simply being here and now…in the moments when REALLY realized 🙂
It’s that simple.
We wander off and remember to come back.
There are times when we think we are getting worse and doubt, this just means we notice more.
