EVIL: INGENIOUS BUT STUPID
Evil: Ingenious But Stupid The world conditions us into believing, rather than knowing. This deception actually creates favourable conditions for true spiritual progress as we recognise that, in following others, we have become lazy and reliant on their say-so—even the … Continue reading
THE RAT RACE
The Rat Race The trouble with the rat race (the competition for intellect, wealth or power) is that even if we win, we’re still a rat. 😀 Spiritual progress is knowing when we have had enough of this obsessive exhausting, … Continue reading
WHAT DO ‘PROPER’ PEOPLE DO?
What Do ‘Proper’ People Do? Proper people: conforming to conventional established standards of behaviour and manners; correct, with good taste and being right. Improper people: not in accordance with accepted standards. Aggression towards the established view, whether political or spiritual, … Continue reading
THIS ISN’T THE AGE OF TRUTH
This Isn’t The Age Of Truth At this time, few have experience of truth. Reading or hearing spiritual texts on truth isn’t knowing the truth of our reality. It is we who have to put the text into practice, accompanied … Continue reading
DO WE FEEL WE’RE NOT MAKING SPIRITUAL PROGRESS?
Do We Feel We’re Not Making Spiritual Progress? This is a psychological dilemma rather than a spiritual one. Spirit is nothing more than pure consciousness; it’s what we are, right now. It is that which sees these words without comment … Continue reading
THE AGE OF FAST SPIRITUAL PROGRESS
The Age Of Fast Spiritual Progress “But the world is in such a mess!” Precisely! The Dzogchen teachings are for this period in human history because they are the direct instruction into the nature of mind, the nature of reality. … Continue reading

Does Spiritual Progress Really Matter? Does it really matter how much we care about our spiritual reality? The only time we are in reality is when we cut the code in our programming, our habitual view of life that was … Continue reading
IT’S ALL DOWN TO DETERMINATION
It’s All Down To Determination Determination is down to recognition. Recognition is down to knowledge. Knowledge is down to instruction. Instruction is down to the continuity of a lineage, revealing what we already know! Through experience coming from practice, realisation … Continue reading
LET’S BE CLEAR
Let’s Be Clear There is no set way to express the process of spiritual development because, as we progress, understanding/experience/realisation all change. As experience refines for an individual, so their experience differs from that of others. Progress means CHANGE. It’s … Continue reading
CHECKING YOURSELF
Checking Yourself. After all this study and practice, have we changed for the better or worse? Either way it is progress, because if we are aware of a change…we are aware! We have to compare with how we felt, say, … Continue reading
WE ALL HAVE AGENDAS
We all have agendas. We all have agendas, fixations, defilements, attitudes, confusions, wounds…this is simply part of being human. It’s important is to acknowledge them, but we don’t have to obsess about them. Be kind to yourself: this is what … Continue reading
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.
