"The nature of everything is open and naked like sky. Luminous emptiness, without center or circumference: the pure, naked Rigpa dawns." - The Tibetan Book of the Dead
The above describes very precisely what I feel or what I recognize when I turn my attention (or perhaps turn it off) toward a great wide-open without content, not even a body-mind. Yes it is like open sky, invisible and omnipresent, and yes in the absence of all obfuscation it is luminous. It is that in which everything abides and of which everything consists. It has no boundaries, big or small. But the mental grooves, the samskaras, run deep.
My task now is not to open to Rigpa - I already have - my task is to purify my recognition, to stay awake.
