Self is not what you think it is.
When I instantly became the light of Dharmakaya, while in the death bardo, self disappeared entirely. Self became fully integrated with Timeless Luminosity for an eternity. I’ve written about this in both of my books, given talks about it, as well as communicated in other ways on many occasions. Self exists as our own delusional mind expressing something that is not real, even though we think it is real. Ego manifests, and we defend that.
This is part of why we are trapped in cyclic existence—we think that we are real and we grasp at that, clinging to our life in lifetime after lifetime. We are simply a figment of our own imagination. Please build a strong foundation of Bodhicitta. Once you have done that, you will definitely awaken.
Blessings,
Lama Robert
