spot, tell sanofi the bastard got me..
what she saw was death throes..
I'm in a place called the Bardo.. got a map?
Oh no you are a ghost! Did that nasty friyay shoot you?
SOB
FriYay? Oooooooooooooooook.
Map of the Bardo? I'm on it..
*grasshopper, you are in the fifth bardo, where the luminosity of the true nature commences after the final 'inner breath'.
It is within this Bardo that visions and auditory phenomena occur. In the Dzogchen teachings, these are known as the spontaneously manifesting Thödgal visions.
Concomitant to these visions, there is a welling of profound peace and pristine awareness. Sentient beings who have not practiced during their lived experience and/or who do not recognise
the clear light at the moment of death are usually deluded throughout the fifth bardo of luminosity.*
It is true master, my mind is an ocean of perceptive peace. still.. aware.. the visions and sounds are related in a way that I would never have understood before the troll popped me.
*grasshopper, be careful of the visions, some of them are like sticky-notes that attach to the 'subtle wind' (the mind in the Bardo state). and maybe traps which will drag you into unsavoury rebirths, others
are like bottled happiness.*
I will be careful, master. what about the auditory stuff?
*tomorrow, (a time-linear metaphor), we will talk again*
