I think he's just talking about it so we know it exists. I've read that it is very simple to reach this state but it's difficult to maintain the state like he says. Transcendental meditation seems very similar to this
I realize this comment is 2 years old but if you’re still interested in this practice, I’d recommend not building rigpa up to be such a difficult achievement. You don’t need to sit in a cave for 20 years or anything 😊 I’ve experienced this myself and am not a full time monk or anything. I casually started meditation 3 years ago and have only been going deep into it for about 1.5 years. I’d recommend first getting your awareness practice solid so get familiar tinkering around in your own head. There are pointing out instructions online and in various apps. The one that did it for me was “What’s here now when there’s no problem to solve?” Of course, not as a conceptual or intellectual riddle to solve, but as an invitation for your awareness to observe internally. This relaxes the ego and conceptual mind, allowing you to directly experience the medium of mind itself, to exist as awareness aware of awareness. You’re working your way down to the foundations - not ego being aware of thoughts, or even awareness spotlighted toward the breath or feelings, but glimpsing the space or medium of consciosuness itself. It’s a wonderful experience and powerful insight but it’s not extraordinarily difficult. Best of luck.
"Hidden in plain sight". EMAHO!
Grande maestro Alejandro!!
😮 thank you so much
Not sure...
A La La Ho!
It can be known, but it is unknowing.
How is that possible
It is known, only by itself. Therefore, it is knowing.
Nice but has he done it or just something he read and now teaching. Very few have arrived at the State. Easier to talk about than do.
