There’s a lot of pain and hardship. Everybody, every minute, is tortured, suffering a lot. We shouldn’t just ignore them and save ourselves alone. Even if we could just save ourselves, we wouldn’t have a peaceful sleep. The rest of the world is going to wake us up with their pain. Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche (via thecalminside)

Here [i.e., on this “level” of practice] there is no purity and no impurity, no dualism nor nondualism, no ritual nor its rejection, no renunciation and no possession… all the observances, rules and regulations [found in other Tantras] are neither enjoined nor prohibited in this way. Or, everything is enjoined, and everything forbidden here! In fact, there is but one commandment on this [higher path], O Queen of the Gods: the yogi is to make every effort to steady his awareness on reality. He must practice whatever makes that possible for him [or her]. Malinivijayottara-tantra Chapter 18

Often the reason that people go from neurosis into psychosis is that they see that spaciousness and synchronistic situation and how vast things are and how the world actually works, but then they cling to their insight and they become completely caught there. It has been said, quite accurately, that a psychotic person is drowning in the very same things that a mystic swims in. Pema Chodron ~ The Wisdom of No Escape ~ p. 76 (via theuniverseworks)
