Benzoates

I will give the practitioner the same advice that my teachers gave me: go back to the sense of Wholeness, go back to the circle, and begin to feel that sense of Wholeness again. Then, in that sense of Wholeness, let your heart’s resonation help you to create the Deity that is a sense of who you are once more. As you do that, it will happen. It will happen anew, because that resonance will begin to happen again. I’m starting from the beginning, and there are new elements being introduced.

As you get cooking with it again, as it works for you, as you feel the resonance, you begin to spread the resonance. Then you’re living. To get there, sure, go look at your inner child. But after you’ve done your inner child, then look at who you were at twenty years old. Look at who you were at thirty years old. Open yourself up, and allow your resonance to begin to open and connect with the seed of resonance in that man.

It’s not finding out what happened that’s important, but it’s connecting with the feeling. It’s very difficult to connect with the feeling of that man, because you’re basically spending a lot of energy to avoid connecting with the feeling of that man. So what’s going to happen if you don’t connect with that aspect of yourself? First of all, your practice is going to get to a certain point, and then it’s going to kind of fizzle because you’ve left something out. You could say, “Well, you know, I don’t really need this practice. I need to just live my life and do my job and do that.”

So you would ignore what you’ve already done. You would go to church on Sunday and pray. But what happens then is, you die Eventually you die, I mean. And in the after-death statethe after-death Bardoat some point, a Wrathful Deity is going to appear to you. That Wrathful Deity is going to be holding the reins of six horses that are headed in six different directions, and that Wrathful Deity is going to hook those reins from those horses onto the limbs, head, and torso of your Bardo body. Then he’s going to crack his whip, and the horses are going to take off. Your Bardo body is going to be pulled in six different directions.
