I’ve been thinking of also the answer to the mesmerized by the sheer variety of perceptions, which are an illusory like the reflections of the moon in water and asking ChatGPT.
The most important thing is that the perceptions are distractions from paying attention to our true self, or as the Buddhists would say the nature of mind, which is the important thing - the nature of mind is oceanic, and we can find comfort and ease in the luminosity and all pervading space of the true nature of our mind
Part of what saying our perceptions are illusory is based on that idea of separating what we know versus what we infer, and it is that they are dependently arisen, meaning, the perception of Jacob wearing the jacket is dependent on the eye, the mind, and other things Or even if you’re blind, the sense of touch
from chat, GPT Illusory like the reflections of the moon in water” → they appear vividly, but they have no independent, solid essence. The reflection depends entirely on conditions (moon, water, eye), and disappears if any condition changes.
The idea of an objectively real jacket is inferred and maybe functional but the important thing is we don’t know what is the true nature of the jacket (which, like all things is infinite, luminous, and mysterious high dimensional, quantum object that we are collapsing and dismissing as this thing we call a jacket). We only know appearances. “If the doors of perception were cleansed, we would see everything as it is, infinite.” ~William Blake
Moore from ChatGPT: This is actually a classic experiential question. Many people find Buddhist language of “illusion” hard to swallow because the world feels so concrete—pain hurts, joy is real, mountains are heavy. A few points Tibetan teachers often make here: • Two truths framework: • On the relative truth level, the world works, causality functions, things are real enough that karma matters and suffering is very tangible. • On the ultimate truth level, those same things are empty of inherent existence—like a rainbow, vivid but without solidity. • “Illusion” ≠ nonexistence: Illusion here doesn’t mean the world is fake, like a mirage with no water behind it. It means things don’t exist in the way we think they do (as solid, independent, self-existing). They’re real as appearances, unreal as essences.
They are all rigpa’s radiance if we could see them clearly Display of your True Self
It takes a long time to memorize that long mantra to invoke the wisdom mind of vajrasattva to the point that you can say it quickly and evenly It’s slightly important to know the meaning of it as well, which is essentially “Vajrasattva (the indestructible aspect of my being, essence of all buddhas) realize your promise. you reside in me (like the meristem of a plant) Make me stable, make me sated, make me compassionate, grant me all siddhis (hitting the mark), make my mind virtuous in all things. Ha ha ha ha ho! (Like you’re feeling the power and laughing!) all the blessed enlightened beings, wisdom minds of which you are the essence (and in which I now share) remain with me always. Unify with me, become me, o vajrasattva, indestructible core of my being, seed of promise, of which I am an expression Ah hung phet! (Enactment)”
But you say it on repeat as a sort of energetic clearing. It has that quality, a little bit like light language if you’ve ever seen those ladies on YouTube making weird shamanic sounds to clear your energies
