Episode notes
Emotions Are Naturally Free
- Afflictive emotions arise naturally within basic space and are free in their own place.
- Resting in that basic space allows these emotions to subside and vanish naturally without effort.
Mind Cannot Change Mind
- Trying to refine or change afflictive emotions is ineffective as mind cannot change mind.
- Emotions are like a shadow or crystal color, intrinsic and unalterable by effortful attempts.
Realize Awareness, Don’t Renounce Emotion
- In the Ati approach, do not renounce emotions but realize self-knowing awareness as unobstructed.
- Cultivate visions or rest effortlessly in the natural free state of awareness for freedom.
