Episode notes
Liberation Is Perspective Shift
- Liberation occurs through a shift in perspective, not merely by performing correct actions or practices.
- Ignorance falling away reveals truth, which is a non-conceptual direct seeing of reality.
Use Pointing-Out Instructions
- Practice seeing what is prior to thought through pointing-out instructions to awaken direct experience.
- Keep returning to these pointers until you directly recognize what is always present but overlooked.
Yogic Practice Refines Understanding
- Yogic practices and deity visualizations are forms of refining understanding, not direct means to liberation.
- They use imagination to overwrite self-concepts with images closer to reality, aiding the fall of ignorance.
