that we must work towards the ability to use the ultimate method now one of the problems with our time of information which i usually call the time of misinformation the era of misinformation but even correct information is readily available and readily available to people that aren't ready so anyone can get a text or hear a teaching that is the ultimate method that is the highest method the most direct method but it doesn't mean that they have the ability to put it into practice at all so then we have the trainings of transformation for the body
and the mind which is changing our person so that our personhood can walk the path but the ultimate method is resting in that which is outside of the person realization and liberation is not liberating the person it's being liberated from the person liberated from body and mind so it's very direct however for most of us our machine our vehicle body our chi our mind is not functioning as well as it could or as well as it should so it's difficult to traverse the path with a broken vehicle so we do things to cultivate body open
the body we do things to develop the chi which empowers the mind and the body and we train the mind the kind of preliminary practices to correct the mind to make it more susceptible to the ultimate method it's correcting the equipment so that we can do the job well of course the problem is that everyone when they read things like this ultimate method is only suitable for the best of practitioners they naturally think well i am intelligent i'm definitely that kind of special person and then they're super interested in the non-dual path for example and
they develop lots of ideas and delve into intellectual understanding to the point where they might be able to argue any point and be a true expert in the theory but have no realization for understanding is not realization so is it a contradiction in a way but one leads to the other the way i like to teach and the way i like to practice is that we burn the incense from both ends so that we reach completion quicker from one side we're practicing body g mind cultivating the person cultivating the vehicle and from the other side
we're trying to recognize the absolute truth and to rest in that the two happen simultaneously you
