The dharma-medicine which enables us to free ourselves from samsaric suffering does not taste good to the ego-self with its notions of ‘I’m special, central, know what’s what…know good from bad … this story-line is true my identity ‘
However if we take the medicine, applying ourselves to it and it to us… we shine a light onto the beliefs upon which its apparent existence is founded… and begin to examine these and put their apparently inherent validity into question.
That any activity enacted within the duality of relative reality is ‘karmic activity’ is rarely heard in our world… nor are the consequences understood …
Happily, as we engage with the course of treatment, egoic-identification is deflated by wisdom… and the inflammation and irritation arising from the karmic provocations of the ‘Sharp Weapon’ in the text, diminish.
As an ’empty wheel’ among other ’empty wheels’… absent the five poisons concomitant with karmic intentionality, activity is also free… illusory.
With depth and clarity James explains how the medicine offered in the text can help to open us to our non-dual presence.
This section of the introduction is now available under audio/video on the menu > Finding Freedom (2) bar or here…
Maybe you’ll get it in one reading/listening …but for me it took time, and many readings for it to begin to sink in!
