Before you go on to the next note,
try to fully register the unique and enriching quality of your
day so far, including the strange new angle of this particular
note, which you may notice has something like a pink lightning
flash in it similar to the static “heat lightning” one
can see in the Mojave or Sonora desert. It is a subtle flash
without roaring thunder. It is eerie and provocative. It makes
you ask, “Did I really see what I just saw”? The
earthly and the unearthly become joined together in a natural
twilight zone. You sense that something within you has evoked
this, but without knowing specifically what was being evoked.
You are now evoking this new note,
which you have never read before and could not possibly imagine
or concoct beforehand from your own cognitive resources, but
which is now giving you a slightly different cognitive capacity
through stimulating it to emerge from within you as a response
to this note before the next note arrives.
The arrival of this note
in your life may be a little thing or a big thing for you,
depending on how you take it. Do
you see this?
This note
is also unprecedented and
not a mere “footnote” to the previous note,
just as it is not a mere “introduction” to the next note.
In fact, this note is utterly
unprecedented so
that it borders on inexhaustible and
may very well prove to be wholly inexhaustible in
some future aeon.
This note is entering your mind
like a bird flying into a cloud and knowing the way through
the cloud without the cloud knowing the way for the bird. This
means that where you try to place
this note cannot compare to where it is
placing itself beyond your useless placing. If you can thus
return to cognitive innocence before
the next note, you will be more than
rewarded or enriched.
No note, teaching, teacher, situation,
or state can ever be “perfect” or “imperfect” because
such labels or judgments are nothing but petty and limited
concepts of your petty and limited empirical consciousness
which is itself ever forced to modify such concepts in the
light of further knowledge, experience and emergent possibility. Be as clear as you can about this before going into the provocative
and difficult but elegant next note.
The ghost of Chögyam
Trungpa and the Immortal Presence of Padma
Sambhava wish
you well in all this, just as I,
your anonymous author, wish you
well in all this. All of this is a Vajra diamond-hard
indestructible friendly conspiracy to bring forth a new
way from within your core self of reading this note.
Your Vajra appreciation does
not mean you should try to become a Tibetan
Buddhist, but rather that you have a big
hint about bringing out your core being.
