Désirs, passions et spiritualité

Mon maître est un grand magicien répond l’adepte chan. Quand il a soif, il boit, quand il a faim, il mange, quand il est fatigué, il se couche.

*

Adhère profondément à la Réalité, avec le Cœur de ton être, rien d’autre n’est à rechercher.

*

La quête de cette félicité simple, dégagée des dogmes et des croyances religieuses, de la soumission à une prêtrise et de l’espoir d’être sanctifié par d’autres, est l’objet de la recherche de chacun, c’est une voie laïque par excellence. Nous voulons simplement l’indépendance, l’harmonie, une jouissance du monde continue et profonde qu’aucune peur, qu’aucune angoisse ne vienne ternir.

*

L’abandon de notre potentiel fondamental ne vient pas seulement de notre éducation, des difficultés de la vie, de la nécessité de s’y faire une place. Il vient avant tout de notre univers de pensée, de notre mythologie, de nos religions, de nos concepts liés aux textes bibliques et à la genèse. La faute originelle, la chute, le rachat sont de puissants principes d’inhibition et de culpabilité. Ils conditionnent notre concept de séparation.

*

J’ai profité de ce voyage à travers l’unité de l’être pour montrer à quel point les grandes voies absolues du bouddhisme tibétain, de mahâmudrâ et du Dzogchen mais aussi celle du bouddhisme chinois des origines, le Chan, qui ont puisé leurs sources auprès des Siddha du Cachemire et d’Oddiyâna, convergeaient vers cette totale acceptation de la nature absolue de l’être humain dans l’exploration d’une troisième voie marquée par le tantra.

*

C’est cette voie sans négation ni transcendance que j’explore depuis trente ans, d’abord avec mon maître tibétain, Kalou Rinpoché, puis avec mon maître shivaïte cachemirien, la yoginî Lalitâ Devî de laquelle j’ai reçu l’autorisation de transmettre à mon tour cette voie directe et spatiale, celle de la reconnaissance du Soi (Pratyabijñâ).

*

C’est tout le combat de l’impulsivité contre le spontané. L’impulsivité est brutale et destructrice car inconsciente de l’autre et du monde. Le spontané est plein de grâce car immédiatement accordé par la conscience à la réalité de l’environnement.

*

Depuis lors, on dit dans le tantrisme que la femme représente la puissance et que l’homme incarne la capacité d’émerveillement. Un hymne à la Déesse du « Saktisangama Tantra » chante cette force créatrice.

Daniel Odier (né en 1945 à Genève) est un écrivain, essayiste, poète et maître spirituel suisse. Il est particulièrement reconnu pour ses ouvrages sur le tantrisme (notamment le shivaïsme cachemirien) et le bouddhisme Chan (zen chinois)

"I think that it is no coincidence that political radicals appear to be disproportionately attracted to the schools of 'immediate awakening' such as Dzogchen and Zen. Both appeal to sensibilities of 'directness', without mediation, in liberatory action and an innate attraction to openness, change, and ambiguity. Both (in theory) dispense with much of the metaphysical obfuscations which justify clerical authority."

Let us therefore trust the eternal Spirit which destroys and annihilates only because it is the unfathomable and eternally creative source of all life. The passion for destruction is a creative pas…

@MattMoose My understanding of the #dzogchen training:
1. Just welcome thoughs as if guests at your party, then let them drift off,
2. With (extensive, supervised) practice this becomes the normal mode of observation. No need for any additional attempt to view phenomina differently.

Time to refresh my #introduction as it's been a while since the first one!

See profile for some basics. These days I'm unemployed but gardening a bit, recovering from 37 years of industrial burnout, and surviving 6-7 years of bladder cancer.

Meeting that with all the wisdom I can find on #anatta, #nonduality, #nonself, #dzogchen, #bodhicitta, #bodhisattva, #buddhism :)

Used to be an #electronics #design #engineer and loved it.

We're better off together. Question those who would divide us.

"The quandry of uncertainty is at the heart of Dzogchen. Dzogchen teaches us how to live joyfully and effectively in a world that is 'empty display' —alternately horrifying and perfect, chaotic and crystalline, alienating and supremely meaningful."

Lion’s Roar

What is trust?

I’m aware that yesterday’s post perhaps raised more questions that it answered. That’s not a bad thing in itself, perhaps, but it’s not always kind to one’s readers. Richard Rohr reminds us:

Unfortunately, the notion of faith that emerged in the West was much more a rational assent to the truth of certain mental beliefs, rather than a calm and hopeful trust that God is inherent in all things, and that this whole thing is going somewhere good. Predictably, we soon separated intellectual belief (which tends to differentiate and limit) from love and hope (which unite and thus eternalize). As Paul says in his great hymn to love, “There are only three things that last, faith, hope and love” (1 Corinthians 13:13). All else passes. Faith, hope, and love are the very nature of God, and thus the nature of all Being. Such goodness cannot die. (Which is what we mean when we say “heaven.”) … Christ is a good and simple metaphor for absolute wholeness, complete incarnation, and the integrity of creation.

The Universal Christ, p.22

Now I know that using the word “Christ” in this context may bring some readers up short, but bear with me here: there is more to New Testament Christology than often meets the eye. The apostle Paul says of Christ (Colossians 1:16-17 NIV):  “For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” (This of course is the source of the concept of coinherence so beloved of Charles Williams.)

Using the word Christ in this context is far closer to Meister Eckhart’s Istigkeit, Spinoza’s Deus sive Natura, the Original Ground of Dzogchen, or the Ground of Being in Paul Tillich’s writings, than it is to the “Jesus’ surname” usage common to some thoughtless conventional Christian preaching.

One difficulty we often run into on the far side of deconstruction, it seems to me, is finding words adequate to just this deeply experiential aspect of the contemplative life. It is all very well scraping terminology from neuroscience (or astrophysics, or academic philosophy) and often this can serve us well if we are trying to conceptualise spiritual realities. But our practice, and our awakened lives, ask more of us than conceptualising spiritual experience. Perhaps it is worth taking the risk, with Rohr and Williams and Tillich, of using the language of direct contemplative experience within our own culture. The contemplative life is a life of the heart, after all, and much of our practice depends upon casting a cold eye on the chatter of discursive thought! We cannot trust a bare idea as we can the direct faith that all things rest in Christ, in presence, in the open ground of isness itself – waves of the one ocean, if you will – and that to that presence they will return.
