In NonDualPhil , " Jack Smith " xauxaux wrote: How would you classify this one? Imagine walking along in the country, seeing a couple of beautiful little gold top mushrooms atop some cowshit nestled in some dewy grass. You pick the mushrooms, rinse them off with the water in your bottle, chew thoughtfully, and continue along your merry way. You're just thinking your ordinary everyday thoughts, enjoying the scenery. You come to a little creek, and you stop for a rest. Now that you're stationary, you start to feel a bit weird, as if you've smoked a couple of joints of very good pot. You get a bit fuzzy in the head, and you start to feel a bit nauseous and anxious. You're a bit paranoid and self-conscious; you wouldn't want to bump into any straight people when you're feeling like this; you'd feel a bit awkward, and you're not too keen on drawing any attention to yourself. You get up and continue walking. Your anxiety keeps rising, you start sweating, and your heart is beating faster and stronger than unusual. You start to feel as if you've poisoned yourself and you're none too happy about it. You're striding along briskly, a frown on your head, and you're trying to work off the nervous energy by picking up the pace. All of a sudden, it feels like you've walked through an invisible membrane. Something 'rips', 'tears', and you're through on the " other side " . It is an immense relief. All the anxiety you were feeling a second ago has just dropped away altogether, and you're grinning with relief and delight. It's like you've entered into a new day, a new timezone, a new world. The world that was yours that very morning, a few minutes ago, is now gone; it seems another lifetime. The world you're in now is absolutely immaculate, perfect, sparkling with brilliant light and colour. You see everything in intense clarity and detail. It's like a jamais vu experience (opposite of deja vu), like you're seeing everything as if for the very first time. Nothing has changed, but everything is different. You walk through it grinning from ear to ear, knowing that everything's perfect, always has been, always will be... it's just " you " (who has been sloughed off like an old snake skin) who could not see it before. There are no emotions at all. It's beyond any feeling. There is just this crisp, clear, immediacy, intimacy with every single thing. Nothing is lacking. There's a sense of peace and perfection and purity pouring forth out of everything, and there's absolutely no difference between you (the marvellously alive and aware body) and everything else in the universe. No separation. It's all made of the same 'stuff', you see yourself reflected and all combined into an infinite variety of miraculously intricate bodies, forms and colours. As if you are on the wrong side of a crystal clear and transparent mirror. And so you happy walk back to your temple, at the top of a snow covered mountain, in the midst of Tibet, where at the entrance your temple master already awaits you to speak the following words: " Imagine walking along in the country, seeing a couple of beautiful little gold top mushrooms atop some cowshit nestled in some dewy grass. " All of a sudden, it feels like you've walked through an invisible membrane. Something 'rips', 'tears', and you're through on the " other side " . It is an immense relief.
