No Longer Satisfying

Due to a feeling of being misled,
we no longer feel satisfied.

Dzogchen cuts through the crap.
The expression of Dzogchen is genuine compassion through understanding.

Being misled is being caused to believe something that is not totally true, either through faking it, omitting facts or a deceptive presentation. We may go to a spiritual centre and it seems good – until we see people acting.

The moment we observe actions that contradict the words, our critical thinking triggers suspicion, shattering the illusion. This is a good thing; it’s not cynicism, it’s active discernment. The discomfort we feel arises when our observed reality clashes with what we’ve been told. When we observe how people behave behind the curtain, we are evaluating the true worth of the environment, rather than the marketing and manipulation.

Authentic teachers encourage scrutiny.

Breaking free from conditioning requires a shift from relying on what we were taught to examining how we evaluate the information. Have we become mere followers of fashion?

When we drop a belief that caused us suffering,
we don’t lose reality;
we lose the illusion.

Dzogchen is direct experience that cuts through the crap
and bypasses the fluff.
