Songtsan Posted August 9, 2013 No matter what you have, bump its value up in your mind:  -That rickety old chair you have on the porch used to belong to Ghandi! -That rug you walk on in the living room was hand woven by Abigail Adams! -Those dumbbells you have in your workout room are made with meteorite steel! -The food you are eating was made from scratch by God/dess him/herself! -The glass in your window panes is made from expensive crystal! -Behind the wall in your room is a secret safe full of gold, platinum, and diamonds!  Be creative! Play!  See how much you can actually convince yourself of these things and watch how your reality changes  Realize that reality is based on your own projections of the value of things...  Start improving your projections of reality.  Visualize everything that you see as having been manifested by God/dess just for you  Change your superimpositions!  Change your mind fabrications!  Realize that you have only a few choices if you want to live the Divine Realized life:  -Stop mind fabrications altogether -Create the best mind fabrications that you can, if you must fabricate mind stuff  Do not settle for shitty mind fabrications  Be the master of your thought constructs!   3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan Posted August 9, 2013 I think the proper phrase to relate to this with is: "Work in progress" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clarity Posted August 10, 2013 When there is no mind, there is nothing to fabricate, project, or visualize. There is only wordless realization of suchness. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thelerner Posted August 12, 2013 Why? I'd say because we're already doing it, only negatively. We have zero appreciation for the glass we see through, but it is a miraculous stuff we can't make ourselves, not without huge effort and study. Similar with chair. There's 10,000 things we use and take for granted. Especially people. This technique is an antidote to a bad filter we have. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One can either end up seeing through all projections - i.e. have an empty mind and be full of the one true Tao, or else create the best projections possible, and be in quite a blissful state. Both of these are of immense value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
