Q & A #6 w/Dr. X (August 8, 2023)

In this Q&A Dr. X discusses:

• Tonalogia as the Alignment of the heart, and the spirit in the mundane world
• Attunement of the Soul and or Spirit, what matters in life
• Mind-to-mind transmission
• A “new way of looking at Mandala practice” as mention by Lama Lena, coupled with the Mala practice as a powerful tool
• Avatamsaka Sutra’s Five clusters in relation to Mandala practice
• Fear, Clarity, Power and Old age as the ” Four natural enemies of a man’s knowledge” as described by Don Juan
• Lucid dreaming
•  Difference between small ‘e’ enlightenment and big ‘E’ Enlightenment, as well as the “getting rid of all concepts in a flash” in the excerpt (posted below)
• The balance of Compassion and Emptiness

Excerpt posted by Dr. X on X

“This Mind is no mind of conceptual thought, and it is completely detached from form. So Buddhas and sentient beings do not differ at all. If you can only rid yourselves of conceptual thought, you will have accomplished everything. But if you students of the Way do not rid yourselves of conceptual thought in a flash, even though you strive for aeon after aeon, you will never accomplish it. Enmeshed in the meritorious practices of the Three Vehicles, you will be unable to attain Enlightenment. Nevertheless, the realization of the One Mind may come after a shorter or longer period. There are those who, upon hearing this teaching, rid themselves of conceptual thought in a flash. There are others who do this after following through the Ten Beliefs, the Ten Stages, the Ten Activities and the Ten Bestowals of Merit. Yet others accomplish it after passing through the 10 stages of a Bodhisattva’s progress.”
