There are no levels whatsoever. You are equating Advaita and Rigpa. The space and the thought are not separate and are not different aspects of.

Intellect appears as not separate. Have you read any of the texts or participated in a lecture by a Dzogchen teacher such as Norbu?

Given that there is no separation, then why the division? Rigpa appears as all and everything.

Vague is correct! My agenda is to warn others not to give out personal info to anyone online. Especially, in this kind of situation.

You are aware from a previous post of mine that he asked for information so that he could conduct a 'criminal background check'. That was a big red flag for me and his request was way out of line for a so called advanced Qigong technique.

Very well said!

The OP has an unfriendly edge as opposed to any number of teachers here that have been extremely helpful over the years. E.g. Terry Dunn aka Zen-Bear and the Flying Phoenix thread that covers well over 100 pages of open help and discussion regarding his teachings. http://www.taichimania.com/ WBBM has a very nice site and has been on here frequently. He has YouTube videos of his demonstrations. http://www.warriorbodybuddhamind.com/wbbm/ Jenny Lamb http://www.easterninternalarts.org/ Michael Lomax http://www.qigongamerica.com/ My point is and there are many others here that are in agreement with me in that the above persons are well known here and will answer questions and be extremely helpful to anyone here. However, you are not.

I guess the OP is a superpsychic and is monitoring all of the minds participating in this thread.

See the admin waring regarding not selling this technique. http://www.thedaobums.com/topic/41318-observations-on-invisibility-for-self-defense/page-4#entry694652 You fail to understand the Joker archetype which is not a real person in a movie, but a metaphor/archetype. Talk about naive! Furthermore, unlike the teachers that come on here that identify themselves in an honest manner, you continue to hide behind the scenes and expect persons not to question as to what your motives are. That raises a great deal of suspicion. Why not identify yourself and what you are really selling.

Sounds like an allergic reaction. Certain species of algae can be toxic.

You are able to tell the difference? What if there is no difference?

Rigpa being the natural/primordial state with no boundary, rules or conditions, which appears as the optimum way to live. No further elaboration is required, so think for yourself.

As in Lama's with sunglasses and fairies that you have spoken about?

I stated strategy, singular, not plural. Strategy in this case is the optimal way to live and function. Far too many misunderstand and let their lives fall apart. In Dzogchen, one is open/awakened to infinite potential as stated by Norbu.

The strategy behind rigpa allows one to function at a higher level in all phases of life.

How so?

Please don't make absolute statements unless you have evidence to back it up. I am critiquing what you stated. You stated their is no higher attainment than Buddha. Emotions and thoughts are universal? Prove that one by showing interviews with alien beings. http://www.thedaobums.com/topic/41341-is-rigpa-really-that-simple/page-4#entry694676

I have no interest in outdated traditions or teachers that hold me back. The only thing I care about is knowledge. Guru yoga cured any need for fawning deference.

You stated there is no higher attainment than Buddha which is an absolute universal statement. Which is it?

The problem with Max is that he doesn't reveal his sources.

The highlighted statement does not follow at all. Buddhism is a universal religion? How so?

No! It is in regards to thinking for myself and staying clear of deferring my life to an authoritarian. Further, you are claiming that I didn't experience rigpa?

Did the Buddha tell you this? Do you question the Buddha per his command to do so?

The Buddha didn't write down one word and yet his so called word is taken as absolute gospel. BTW, the so called words of Buddha were not written down for around 500 years which is plenty of time to include legend and lore plus lots of embellishment.

Exactly and to the point! Most never realize how much cultural baggage and dogma are attached to these practices. Perhaps some of the posters here are wearing their weekend yellow and red robes. Great color combination! Oh, I almost forgot that funny hats are part of the uniform.
