Original English Article: Thusness/PasserBy's Seven Stages of Enlightenment

"Mar 11
Thusness/PasserBy's Seven Stages of Enlightenment

For Chinese version, see Chinese Translation of Thusness/PasserBy's Seven Stages of Enlightenment

If anyone is able to translate Thusness's Seven Stages to other languages, that will be great, do let me know. In the past I've translated it to Chinese along with a short verse from Bahiya Sutta and posted that a forum in China, and that alone resulted in a Chinese forummer having certain breakthrough into no-self (previously he was in the I AM stage). By translating these to other languages, more people can become awakened."

चिनियाँ संस्करणको लागि, थस्नेस/पासरबाईका सात चरणहरूको जागृतिको चिनियाँ अनुवाद हेर्नुहोस्

यदि कसैले थस्नेसका सात चरणहरूलाई अरू भाषामा अनुवाद गर्न सक्छ भने त्यो राम्रो हुनेछ, कृपया मलाई जानकारी गराउनुहोस्। पहिले मैले यसलाई चिनियाँ भाषामा अनुवाद गरेको थिएँ बहिया सुत्ताबाट एक छोटो पद्यसहित र त्यसलाई चीनमा एक फोरममा पोस्ट गरेको थिएँ, र त्यसले मात्र एक चिनियाँ फोरम्मेरलाई आत्म-नहुनुमा (यसअघि उनी म छु चरणमा थिए) प्रवेश गर्ने केहि विकास हुन पुग्यो। यीलाई अरू भाषामा अनुवाद गर्दा, धेरै मानिसहरू जागृत हुन सक्छन्।"

"(Soh: This article was written by my teacher who goes by the online moniker "Thusness"/"PasserBy". I have personally gone through these phases of realizations myself since then.)

NOTE: The stages are nothing authoritative, merely for sharing purposes. The article On Anatta (No-Self), Emptiness, Maha and Ordinariness, and Spontaneous Perfection is a good reference for these 7 phases of experience. The original six stages of experience has been updated to seven stages of experience, with the addition of 'Stage 7: Presence is Spontaneously Perfected' for readers to understand that seeing the nature of reality as the ground of all experiences which is Always So, is important for effortlessness to take place."

(First written: 20th September 2006, Last Updated by Thusness: 27th August 2012, Last Updated by Soh: 22nd January 2019)

Stage 1: The Experience of “I AM”

It was about 20 years back and it all started with the question of “Before birth, who am I?” I do not know why but this question seemed to capture my entire being. I could spend days and nights just sitting focusing, pondering over this question; till one day, everything seemed to come to a complete standstill, not even a single thread of thought arose. There was merely nothing and completely void, only this pure sense of existence. This mere sense of I, this Presence, what was it? It was not the body, not thought as there was no thought, nothing at all, just Existence itself. There was no need for anyone to authenticate this understanding."

चरण १: "म छु" भन्ने अनुभव

यो झण्डै २० वर्ष पहिले थियो र यसले "जन्म भन्दा अघि, म को हुँ?" भन्ने प्रश्नसँग सुरु भएको थियो। मलाई थाहा छैन किन तर यो प्रश्नले मेरो सम्पूर्ण अस्तित्वलाई कब्जा गरेजस्तो लाग्यो। म दिनरात बसेर केवल यो प्रश्नमा ध्यान केन्द्रित गर्दै, चिन्तन गर्दै बिताउन सक्थें; एक दिन, सबै कुरा पूर्ण रूपमा रोकिएको जस्तो लाग्यो, एक पनि विचारको सूत्र उठेन। केवल शून्यता मात्रै थियो, पूर्ण रूपले रिक्तता, केवल अस्तित्वको शुद्ध अनुभूति मात्रै। यो केवल "म" को अनुभूति, यो उपस्थिति, यो के थियो? यो शरीर होइन थियो, विचार पनि होइन थियो किनकि विचार थिएन, केही पनि थिएन, केवल अस्तित्व नै थियो। यस बुझाइलाई प्रमाणित गर्न कसैको आवश्यकता थिएन।"

Original English Text:

"At that moment of realization, I experienced a tremendous flow of energy being released. It was as if life was expressing itself through my body and I was nothing but this expression. However, at that point in time, I was still unable to fully understand what this experience was and how I had misunderstood its nature.

Comments by Soh: This is also the First Stage of the Five Ranks of Tozan Ryokai (a Zen Buddhism map of awakening), called "The Apparent within the Real". This phase can also be described as an oceanic Ground of Being or Source devoid of the sense of individuality/personal self, described here by Thusness in 2006:
'Like a river flowing into the ocean, the self dissolves into nothingness. When a practitioner becomes thoroughly clear about the illusionary nature of the individuality, subject-object division does not take place. A person experiencing “AMness” will find “AMness in everything”. What is it like?

Being freed from individuality -- coming and going, life and death, all phenomenon merely pop in and out from the background of the AMness. The AMness is not experienced as an ‘entity’ residing anywhere, neither within nor without; rather it is experienced as the ground reality for all phenomenon to take place. Even in the moment of subsiding (death), the yogi is thoroughly authenticated with that reality; experiencing the ‘Real’ as clear as it can be. We cannot lose that AMness; rather all things can only dissolve and re-emerges from it. The AMness has not moved, there is no coming and going. This "AMness" is God.

Practitioners should never mistake this as the true Buddha Mind! "I AMness" is the pristine awareness. That is why it is so overwhelming. Just that there is no 'insight' into its emptiness nature.'"

Translated into Nepalese:

"त्यस क्षणको अनुभूतिमा, मैले एक विशाल ऊर्जाको प्रवाह मुक्त हुने अनुभव गरेँ। जसरी जीवनले आफ्नो अभिव्यक्ति मेरो शरीर मार्फत गर्दै थियो र म यस अभिव्यक्तिको अतिरिक्त केही पनि होइन थिएँ। तर त्यस समयमा, म यस अनुभवको प्रकृति र मैले यसको गलत बुझाइ कसरी गरेको थिएँ भनेर पूर्ण रूपमा बुझ्न सकेको थिएन।

सोहबाट टिप्पणी: यो टोज़ान र्योकाइको पाँच रैंकहरू (जेन बौद्ध धर्मको जागृतिको मानचित्र) को पहिलो चरण पनि हो, जुनलाई "वास्तविकतामा स्पष्ट" भनिन्छ। यो चरणलाई थस्नेसले २००६ मा वर्णन गरेको अनुसार व्यक्तित्व/व्यक्तिगत आत्मको अनुभूति विहीन सागरीय हुन्छको आधार वा स्रोतको रूपमा पनि वर्णन गर्न सकिन्छ:
'नदीले समुद्रमा बहने जस्तै, आत्मा शून्यतामा घुल्मिल हुन्छ। जब एक अभ्यासकर्ता व्यक्तित्वको भ्रामक प्रकृतिबारे पूर्ण रूपमा स्पष्ट हुन्छ, विषय-वस्तु विभाजन हुँदैन। "म छु" भन्ने अनुभव गर्ने व्यक्तिले हरेक कुरामा "म छु" भेट्छ। यसको अनुभव कस्तो हुन्छ?

व्यक्तित्वबाट मुक्त हुनु -- आउने र जाने, जीवन र मृत्यु, सबै घटनाहरू केवल "म छु"को पृष्ठभूमिबाट आउँछन् र जान्छन्। "म छु"लाई कहीँ बसेको 'इकाई'को रूपमा अनुभव गरिँदैन, न भित्र न बाहिर; बरु यसलाई सबै घटनाको घटना घट्ने आधारिक वास्तविकताको रूपमा अनुभव गरिन्छ। मृत्युको क्षणमा पनि, योगी त्यस वास्तविकतासँग पूर्ण रूपमा प्रमाणित हुन्छ; 'वास्तविक'लाई पूर्ण रूपमा स्पष्ट रूपमा अनुभव गर्दै। हामी "म छु"लाई हराउन सक्दैनौं; बरु सबै कुरा त्यसबाट मात्रै घुल्मिल हुन्छन् र पुनः प्रकट हुन्छन्। "म छु"ले हलचल गरेको छैन, यसमा आउने र जाने छैन। यो "म छु" भगवान हो।

अभ्यासकर्ताले कहिल्यै यसलाई वास्तविक बुद्ध मनको रूपमा गल्ती नगर्नु पर्छ! "म छु" यो शुद्ध जागरण हो। त्यसैले यो यति भारी छ। बस यसको शून्यता प्रकृतिमा 'अन्तर्दृष्टि' छैन।"

"Soh: To realize I AM, the most direct method is Self-Inquiry, asking yourself 'Before birth, Who am I?' or just 'Who am I?'

Personally, asking myself 'Before birth, Who am I?' for two years led to my doubtless certainty of Being/Self-Realisation. Do note that very often, one is having glimpses and experiences of I AM or vivid spaciousness or some recognition of being an observer, but all these are not the I AM Realization of Thusness Stage 1, nor is Stage 1 realization merely a state of clarity. Self-Inquiry will lead to doubtless realization. I had glimpses of I AM on and off for three years before my doubtless Self-Realization in February 2010 which I wrote in my first journal entry of my free e-book. On the differences, see I AM Experience/Glimpse/Recognition vs I AM Realization (Certainty of Being) and the first point in Realization and Experience and Non-Dual Experience from Different Perspectives."

For further progress after I AM realization, focus on Four Aspects of I AM, contemplating the two stanzas of anatta in On Anatta (No-Self), Emptiness, Maha and Ordinariness, and Spontaneous Perfection and Two Types of Nondual Contemplation

Many people I know (including Thusness himself) were/are stuck at Phase 1~3 for decades or their whole life without much progress due to lack of clear pointers and guidance, but by following Thusness's advice on the four aspects and contemplation on anatta (no-self), I was able to progress from Phase 1 realization to Phase 5 in less than a year, back in 2010."

"Stage 2: The Experience of “I AM Everything”

It seemed that my experience was supported by many Advaita and Hindu teachings. But the biggest mistake I made was when I spoke to a Buddhist friend. He told me about the doctrine of no-self, about no ‘I’. I rejected such doctrine outright as it was in direct contradiction with what I had experienced. I was deeply confused for some time and could not appreciate why Buddha had taught this doctrine and worse still, make it a Dharma Seal. Until one day, I experienced the fusing of everything into ‘Me’ but somehow there was no ‘me’. It was like an “I-less I’. I somehow accepted the 'no I' idea but then I still insisted that Buddha shouldn't have put it that way...

The experience was wonderful, it was as if I was totally emancipated, a complete release without boundary. I told myself, “I am totally convinced that I am no longer confused”, so I wrote a poem (something like the below),

I am the rain
I am the sky
I am the ‘blueness’
The color of the sky
Nothing is more real than the I
Therefore Buddha, I am I.

There is a phrase for this experience -- Whenever and wherever there IS, the IS is Me. This phrase was like a mantra to me. I often used this to lead me back into the experience of Presence."

Translated into Nepalese:

"चरण २: “म सबै कुरा छु” भन्ने अनुभव

मेरो अनुभव धेरै अद्वैत र हिन्दू शिक्षाहरूबाट समर्थित थियो। तर मैले गरेको सबैभन्दा ठूलो गल्ती तब भयो जब मैले एक बौद्ध साथीसँग कुरा गरें। उनले मलाई नो-सेल्फको धर्म, 'म' नभएको बारेमा बताए। मैले यस्तो धर्मलाई पूर्ण रूपमा अस्वीकार गरें किनकि यसले मेरो अनुभवसँग प्रत्यक्ष विरोध गर्थ्यो। म केही समयको लागि गहिरो रूपमा अवाक भएँ र बुद्धले यस धर्मलाई किन सिकाएका थिए भनेर बुझ्न सकिनँ र अझ बढी, यसलाई धर्म चिह्न बनाउनु झन् नराम्रो थियो। एक दिन, मैले 'म'मा सबै कुरा मिलाउने अनुभव गरें तर कुनै पनि तरिकाले 'म' थिएन। यो 'म-बिनाको म' जस्तै थियो। मैले कुनै पनि तरिकाले 'म' नभएको विचारलाई स्वीकार गरें तर त्यसपछि पनि मैले बुद्धले त्यसो गर्नु हुँदैन भन्ने बताएँ...

अनुभव अद्भुत थियो, जसरी म पूर्ण रूपमा मुक्त भएको थिएँ, सीमाबिना पूर्ण रिहाइ। मैले आफूलाई भनें, “म पूर्ण रूपमा आश्वस्त छु कि म अब भ्रमित छैन,” र मैले एउटा कविता लेखें (तलको जस्तै),

म वर्षा हुँ
म आकाश हुँ
म ‘नीलापन’ हुँ
आकाशको रंग
मभन्दा बढी वास्तविक केही छैन
तसर्थ बुद्ध, म छु म।

यस अनुभवको लागि एक वाक्यांश छ -- जहिले र जहाँ पनि छ, त्यो 'म' हो। यो वाक्यांश मेरो लागि एक मन्त्र जस्तै थियो। मैले यसलाई प्रायः उपस्थिति अनुभवमा फर्कन प्रयोग गर्थें।"

"The rest of the journey was the unfolding and further refining of this experience of Total Presence, but somehow there was always this blockage, this ‘something’ preventing me from recapturing the experience. It was the inability to fully ‘die’ into total Presence.

'It is bringing this I AM into everything. I AM the I in you. The I in the cat, the I in the bird. I AM the first person in everyone and Everything. I. That is my second phase. That the I is ultimate and universal.' - John Tan, 2013"

"Stage 3: Entering Into a State of Nothingness

Somehow something was blocking the natural flow of my innermost essence and preventing me from re-living the experience. Presence was still there but there was no sense of ‘totality’. It was both logically and intuitively clear that ‘I’ was the problem. It was the ‘I’ that was blocking; it was the ‘I’ that was the limit; it was the ‘I’ that was the boundary but why couldn’t I do away with it? At that point in time it didn’t occur to me that I should look into the nature of awareness and what awareness is all about. Instead, I was too occupied with the art of entering into a state of oblivion to get rid of the ‘I’... This continued for the next 13+ years (in between of course there were many other minor events and the experience of total presence did occur many times, but with gaps a few months long)…

However I came to one important understanding –
The ‘I’ is the root cause of all artificialities, true freedom is in spontaneity. Surrender into complete nothingness and everything is simply Self So.

Comments by Soh:

Here's something Thusness wrote to me about Stage 3 while I was having some glimpses of Stage 1 and 2 in 2008,

'Associating 'death of I' with vivid luminosity of your experience is far too early. This will lead you into erroneous views because there is also the experience of practitioners by way of complete surrendering or elimination (dropping) like Taoist practitioners. An experience of deep bliss that is beyond that of what you experienced can occur. But the focus is not on luminosity but effortlessness, naturalness and spontaneity. In complete giving up, there is no 'I'; it is also needless to know anything; in fact 'knowledge' is considered a stumbling block. The practitioner drops away mind, body, knowledge...everything. There is no insight, there is no luminosity there is only total allowing of whatever that happens, happen in its own accord. All senses including consciousness are shut and fully absorbed. Awareness of 'anything' is only after emerging from that state.'"

Translated into Nepalese:

"चरण ३: शून्यताको अवस्थामा प्रवेश

कुनै पनि तरिकाले मेरो अन्तरतम सारको प्राकृतिक प्रवाहलाई अवरोध गर्दै थियो र मलाई अनुभव पुनः जीवन्त गर्नबाट रोक्दै थियो। उपस्थिति अझै पनि थियो तर 'पूर्णता'को अनुभूति थिएन। यो तर्कसंगत र सहज रूपमा स्पष्ट थियो कि 'म' नै समस्या थियो। 'म' नै अवरोध थियो; 'म' नै सीमा थियो; 'म' नै सीमाना थियो तर म किन यसलाई हटाउन सकिनँ? त्यस समयमा मलाई चेतनाको प्रकृति र चेतनाको बारेमा हेर्नु पर्ने कुरा नभएको थियो। बरु म 'म'लाई हटाउन विस्मरणको अवस्थामा प्रवेश गर्ने कलामा धेरै व्यस्त थिएँ... यो १३+ वर्षको लागि जारी रह्यो (बीचमा पनि धेरै साना घटनाहरू भए र पूर्ण उपस्थितिको अनुभव धेरै पटक भयो, तर केही महिनाको अन्तरालमा)...

तर मैले एउटा महत्त्वपूर्ण बुझाइमा पुगें –
'म' नै सबै कृत्रिमताको मूल कारण हो, वास्तविक स्वतन्त्रता स्वाभाविकतामा छ। सम्पूर्ण शून्यतामा समर्पण गर्नुहोस् र सबै कुरा सिम्पली स्वयम् सो हो।

सोहका टिप्पणीहरू:

यहाँ थस्नेसले २००८ मा म चरण १ र २ का केही झलकहरू पाउँदा मलाई बारेमा लेखेका छन्,

'मको मृत्यु'लाई तपाइँको अनुभवको चमकदार चमकसँग जोड्नु धेरै छिटो हो। यसले तपाईंलाई गलत धारणामा लैजानेछ किनकि ताओवादी अभ्यासकर्ताहरू जस्तै पूर्ण रूपमा समर्पण वा हटाउने (छोड्ने) मार्फत अनुभव हुन्छ। तपाईंले भोगेको भन्दा बाहिर गहिरो आनन्दको अनुभव हुन सक्छ। तर ध्यान केन्द्रित गर्ने कुरा चमक होइन बरु प्रयासरहितता, स्वाभाविकता र स्वत:स्फूर्तिता हो। पूर्ण रूपमा छोड्दा, 'म' छैन; केही पनि जान्नु आवश्यक छैन; वास्तवमा 'ज्ञान'लाई बाधा मानिन्छ। अभ्यासकर्ताले मन, शरीर, ज्ञान...सबै कुरा छोड्छन्। त्यहाँ कुनै अन्तर्दृष्टि छैन, त्यहाँ कुनै चमक छैन त्यहाँ केवल जे भए पनि हुन दिने कुरा मात्रै छ, आफ्नो स्वाभाविक रूपमा हुन दिने। सबै इन

I got in touch with Buddhism in 1997. Not because I wanted to find out more about the experience of ‘Presence’ but rather the teaching of impermanence synced deeply with what I was experiencing in life. I was faced with the possibility of losing all my wealth and more by financial crisis. At that point in time I had no idea that Buddhism is so profoundly rich on the aspect of ‘Presence’. The mystery of life cannot be understood, I sought for a refuge in Buddhism (comments by Soh: he took refuge in the triple gems Buddha, Dharma and Sangha under the 41st H.H. Sakya Trizin) to alleviate my sorrows caused by the financial crisis, but it turned out to be the missing key towards experiencing total presence.

I wasn’t that resistant then to the doctrine of ‘no-self’ but the idea that all phenomenal existence is empty of an inherent ‘self’ or ‘Self’ did not quite get into me. Were they talking about the ‘self’ as a personality or ‘Self’ as ‘Eternal Witness’? Must we do away even with the ‘Witness’? Was the Witness itself another illusion?

There is thinking, no thinker
There is sound, no hearer
Suffering exists, no sufferer
Deeds there are, no doer

I was meditating on the meaning of the above stanza deeply until one day, suddenly I heard ‘tongss…’, it was so clear, there was nothing else, just the sound and nothing else! And ‘tongs…’ resounding… It was so clear, so vivid!

That experience was so familiar, so real and so clear. It was the same experience of “I AM”… it was without thought, without concepts, without intermediary, without anyone there, without any in-between… What was it? IT was Presence! But this time it was not ‘I AM’, it was not asking ‘who am I’, it was not the pure sense of “I AM”, it was ‘TONGSss….’, the pure Sound…
Then came Taste, just the Taste and nothing else….
The heart beats…
The Scenery…

There was no gap in between, no longer a few months gap for it to arise…
There never was a stage to enter, no I to cease and never had it existed
There is no entry and exit point…
There is no Sound out there or in here…
There is no ‘I’ apart from the arising and ceasing…
The manifold of Presence…
Moment to moment Presence unfolds…"

"चरण ४: उपस्थिति दर्पणको उज्यालो स्पष्टता

म १९९७ मा बौद्ध धर्मसँग जडान भएँ। यो 'उपस्थिति'को अनुभवको बारेमा थप जान्नको लागि होइन बरु अनित्यताको शिक्षाले मेरो जीवनमा भोगिरहेको अनुभवसँग गहिरो रूपमा मेल खाएको थियो। म आर्थिक संकटले गर्दा आफ्नो सम्पत्ति र थप गुमाउने सम्भावनाको सामना गरिरहेको थिएँ। त्यो समयमा मलाई थाहा थिएन कि बौद्ध धर्म 'उपस्थिति'को पक्षमा यति गहिरो रूपमा समृद्ध छ। जीवनको रहस्यलाई बुझ्न सकिँदैन, मैले आर्थिक संकटले गर्दा भएको दुःखलाई कम गर्न बौद्ध धर्ममा शरण लिएँ (सोहको टिप्पणी: उनले ४१औं ह.ह. साक्य त्रिजिन अन्तर्गत बुद्ध, धर्म र संघमा शरण लिए), तर यो पूर्ण उपस्थितिको अनुभवमा पुग्ने लापता कुञ्जी परिणत भयो।

म 'नो-सेल्फ'को धर्मप्रति त्यति विरोधी थिइनँ तर सबै अद्भुत अस्तित्वमा आफ्नो आन्तरिक 'आत्मा' वा 'सेल्फ'को शून्यता भन्ने विचार मेरोमा राम्ररी भित्रिएको थिएन। के उनीहरू 'आत्मा'लाई व्यक्तित्वको रूपमा वा 'सेल्फ'लाई 'शाश्वत साक्षी'को रूपमा भन्दै थिए? के हामीले 'साक्षी'सँग पनि त्याग गर्नु पर्छ? के साक्षी आफै अर्को भ्रम थियो?

सोच छ, सोच्ने छैन
आवाज छ, सुन्ने छैन
दुःख छ, दुःखी छैन
कर्म छन्, कर्ता छैन

म उपरोक्त पद्यको अर्थमा गहिराइसम्म ध्यान गरिरहेँ जबसम्म कि एक दिन अचानक मैले 'टङ्स...' सुनेँ, यो एकदमै स्पष्ट थियो, त्यहाँ अरू केही थिएन, केवल आवाज मात्र र केही पनि छैन! र 'टङ्स...' गुञ्जन... यो एकदमै स्पष्ट, एकदमै जीवन्त थियो!

त्यो अनुभव एकदमै परिचित, एकदमै वास्तविक र एकदमै स्पष्ट थियो। यो 'म छु'को नै अनुभव थियो... यसमा विचार थिएन, अवधारणा थिएन, मध्यस्थ थिएन, कसै पनि थिएन, कुनै पनि बीचमा थिएन... यो के थियो? यो उपस्थिति थियो

"Comments:

This is the beginning of seeing through no-self. Insight into no-self has arisen but non-dual experience is still very much 'Brahman' rather than 'Sunyata'; in fact it is more Brahman than ever. Now 'I AMness' is experienced in All.

Nevertheless it is a very important key phase where the practitioner experiences a quantum leap in perception untying the dualistic knot. This is also the key insight leading to the realization that 'All is Mind', all is just this One Reality.

The tendency to extrapolate an Ultimate Reality or Universal Consciousness where we are part of this Reality remains surprisingly strong. Effectively the dualistic knot is gone but the bond of seeing things inherently isn't. 'Dualistic' and 'inherent' knots that prevent the full experiencing of our Maha, empty and non-dual nature of pristine awareness are two very different 'perceptual spells' that blind.

The subsection 'On Second Stanza' of the post 'On Anatta (No-Self), Emptiness, Maha and Ordinariness, and Spontaneous Perfection' further elaborates this insight."

"Comments by Soh:

The beginning of non-dual realization and the gateless gate without entry and exit. One no longer seeks after a state of oblivion to get rid of self as in the case of Stage 3 but starts to realize and actualize the always-already-so of no-self and non-dual nature of Awareness. Still, Stage 4 tends to end up in the case of dissolving separateness into the pole of an ultimate pure subjectivity rather than seeing consciousness as the mere flow of phenomenality as in Stage 5, thus leaving traces of an Absolute.

Thusness wrote in 2005:

'Without 'self' oneness is immediately attained. There is only and always this Isness. Subject has always been the Object of observation. This is true samadhi without entering trance. Completely understanding this truth. It is the true way towards liberation. Every sound, sensation, arising of consciousness is so clear, real and vivid. Every moment is samadhi. The tip of the fingers in contact with the keyboard, mysteriously created the contact consciousness, what is it? Feel the entirety of beingness and realness. There is no subject... just Isness. No thought, there really is no thought and no 'self'. Only Pure Awareness.', 'How could anyone understand? The crying, the sound, the noise is buddha. It is all the experience of Thusness. To know the true meaning of this, Hold not even the slightest trace of 'I'. In the most natural state of ILessNess, All Is. Even if one said the same statement, the depth of experience differs. The is no point convincing anyone. Can anyone understand? Any form of rejection, Any sort of division Is to reject buddhahood. If there is a slightest sense of a subject, an experiencer, we miss the point. Natural Awareness is subjectless. The vividness and clarity. Feel, taste, see and hear with totality. There is always no 'I'. Thank you Buddha, You truly know. :)"

"Stage 5: No Mirror Reflecting

There is no mirror reflecting
All along manifestation alone is.
The one hand claps
Everything IS!

Effectively Phase 4 is merely the experience of non-division between subject/object. The initial insight glimpsed from the anatta stanza is without self but in the later phase of my progress it appeared more like subject/object as an inseparable union, rather than absolutely no-subject. This is precisely the 2nd case of the Three levels of understanding Non-Dual. I was still awed by the pristineness and vividness of phenomena in phase 4.

Phase 5 is quite thorough in being no one and I would call this anatta in all 3 aspects -- no subject/object division, no doer-ship and absence of agent.

The trigger point here is the direct and thorough seeing that 'the mirror is nothing more than an arising thought'. With this, the solidity and all the grandeur of 'Brahman' goes down the drain. Yet it feels perfectly right and liberating without the agent and being simply as an arising thought or as a vivid moment of a bell resounding. All the vividness and presence remains, with an additional sense of freedom. Here a mirror/reflection union is clearly understood as flawed, there is only vivid reflection. There cannot be a 'union' if there isn't a subject to begin with. It is only in subtle recalling, that is in a thought recalling a previous moment of thought, that the watcher seems to exist. From here, I moved towards the 3rd degree of non-dual."

"Stage 6: The Nature of Presence is Empty

Phase 4 and 5 are the grayscale of seeing through the subject that it does not exist in actuality (anatta), there are only the aggregates. However even the aggregates are empty (Heart Sutra). It may sound obvious but more often than not, even a practitioner who has matured the anatta experience (as in phase 5) will miss the essence of it.

As I have said earlier, phase 5 does appear to be final and it is pointless to emphasize anything. Whether one proceeds further to explore this empty nature of Presence and move into the Maha world of suchness will depend on our conditions.

At this juncture, it is necessary to have clarity on what Emptiness is not to prevent misunderstandings:

• Emptiness is not a substance
• Emptiness is not a substratum or background
• Emptiness is not light
• Emptiness is not consciousness or awareness
• Emptiness is not the Absolute
• Emptiness does not exist on its own
• Objects do not consist of emptiness
• Objects do not arise from emptiness
• Emptiness of the "I" does not negate the "I"
• Emptiness is not the feeling that results when no objects are appearing to the mind
• Meditating on emptiness does not consist of quieting the mind

Source: Non-Dual Emptiness Teaching
And I would like to add,

Emptiness is not a path of practice
Emptiness is not a form of fruition

Emptiness is the 'nature' of all experiences. There is nothing to attain or practice. What we have to realize is this empty nature, this ‘ungraspability’, ‘unlocatability ’ and ‘interconnectedness’ nature of all vivid arising. Emptiness will reveal that not only is there no ‘who’ in pristine awareness, there is no ‘where’ and ‘when’. Be it ‘I’, ‘Here’ or ’Now’, all are simply impressions that dependently originate in accordance with the principle of conditionality.

When there is this, that is.
With the arising of this, that arises.
When this is not, neither is that.
With the cessation of this, that ceases."

"Comments:

Here practice is clearly understood as neither going after the mirror nor escaping from the maya reflection; it is to thoroughly 'see' the 'nature' of reflection. To see that there is really no mirror other than the on-going reflection due to our emptiness nature. Neither is there a mirror to cling to as the background reality nor a maya to escape from. Beyond these two extremes lies the middle path -- the prajna wisdom of seeing that the maya is our Buddha nature.

Recently An Eternal Now has updated some very high quality articles that better described the maha experience of suchness. Do read the following articles:

    Emancipation of Suchness
    Buddha-Dharma: A Dream in a Dream

The last 3 subsections ('On Emptiness', 'On Maha in Ordinariness', 'Spontaneous Perfection') of the post 'On Anatta (No-Self), Emptiness, Maha and Ordinariness, and Spontaneous Perfection' elaborates this phase of emptiness insight and the gradual progress of maturing the experience into the effortless mode of practice. It is important to know that in addition to the experience of the unfindability and ungraspability of emptiness, the interconnectedness of everything creating the Maha experience is equally precious."

"Stage 7: Presence is Spontaneously Perfected

After cycles and cycles of refining our practice and insights, we will come to this realization:

Anatta is a seal, not a stage.
Awareness has always been non-dual.
Appearances have always been Non-arising.
All phenomena are ‘interconnected’ and by nature Maha.
All are always and already so. Only dualistic and inherent views are obscuring these experiential facts and therefore what is really needed is simply to experience whatever arises openly and unreservedly (See section 'On Spontaneous Perfection'). However this does not denote the end of practice; practice simply moves to become dynamic and conditions-manifestation based. The ground and the path of practice become indistinguishable.

The entire article of On Anatta (No-Self), Emptiness, Maha and Ordinariness, and Spontaneous Perfection can be seen as the different approaches toward the eventual realization of this already perfect and uncontrived nature of awareness."

As of now - Year 2019, about 12 years after this article was first written by Thusness, more than 30 people have realised anatta (2022 update: now more than 60 by my count!) through encountering this blog, myself or Thusness. I am glad that these articles and blog have been of a positive impact to the spiritual community, and I'm confident that it will continue to be of benefit to many more seekers in years to come.

It has come to my attention after all these years that despite the clear descriptions by Thusness above, the Thusness 7 Stages of insights are very often misapprehended. This is why further clarifications and elaborations are necessary.

Do refer to these articles for more commentaries by Thusness on the 7 stages:

Difference Between Thusness Stage 1 and 2 and other Stages
Buddha Nature is NOT "I Am"
Wrong Interpretation of I AM as Background
Difference Between Thusness Stage 4 and 5 (Substantial Non-duality vs Anatta)
Difference Between Thusness Stage 4 and 5 (2nd article, shorter one commented by Soh)
Two Types of Nondual Contemplation after I AM (On How to Realize Anatta)
Advice for Taiyaki (Pointers for Post-Anatta Contemplation)
+A and -A Emptiness (On the two experiential insights involved in Thusness Stage 6)
My Favourite Sutra, Non-Arising and Dependent Origination of Sound
Non-Arising due to Dependent Origination
Total Exertion and Practices
 
For more pointers on how to investigate and contemplate to attain each of those realizations above, see Book Recommendations 2019 and Practice Advise"

"It is important to note that it is common to have certain insights into no-self, impersonality and non-doership, and yet it is not the same as the insight of Thusness Stage 5 or even Thusness Stage 4, as discussed in Non-Doership is Not Yet Anatta Realization. If you think you realised Anatta or Stage 5, make sure to check out this article, as it is often very common to mistaken non-doership, substantialist non-duality or even a state of no-mind for the insight of anatta: Different Degress of No-Self: Non-Doership, Non-dual, Anatta, Total Exertion and Dealing with Pitfalls. It is my estimate that when someone says they have broken through to no-self, 95% to 99% of the time they are referring to impersonality or non-doership, not even non dual, let alone the true realization of anatman (Buddhism's no-self dharma seal).

Furthermore, another common mistake is to think that the peak experience of no-mind (where any trace or sense of being a subject/perceiver/self/Self behind experience temporarily dissolves and what's left is simply 'just experience' or 'just the vivid colors/sounds/scents/taste/touch/thought) is similar to the anatta 'dharma-seal' insight/realization of Thusness Stage 5. It is not the same. It is common to have an experience, but rare to have realization. Yet it is the realization of anatta that stabilizes the experience, or makes it effortless."

"'insight/realization is similar to the anatta 'dharma-seal' insight/realization of Thusness Stage 5. It is not the same. It is common to have an experience, but rare to have realization. Yet it is the realization of anatta that stabilizes the experience, or makes it effortless. For example, in my case, after the realization of anatta has arisen and stabilized, I do not have the slightest trace or sense of subject/object division or agency for about 8 years, till now, and John Tan reports the same for the past 20+ years (he realised anatta in 1997 and overcame the trace of background in a year or so). It should be noted that overcoming subject/object division and agency (which happens even at Thusness Stage 5) does not mean other subtler obscurations are eliminated -- the complete elimination of this is full Buddhahood (a topic that is discussed in the article Buddhahood: The End of All Emotional/Mental Afflictions and Knowledge Obscurations, as well as Traditional Buddhist Attainments: Arahantship and Buddhahood chapter in Awakening to Reality: A Guide to the Nature of Mind). That is natural after realization sinks in to replace the old paradigm or conditioned ways of perception, it's a bit like figuring out a picture puzzle and never unseeing it again. However this does not indicate an end or finality to practice, or the attainment of Buddhahood. Practice still goes on, it simply becomes dynamic and condition-based as stated in Stage 7, even Stage 7 is not a finality. The topic of experience vs realization is discussed further in No Mind and Anatta, Focusing on Insight. It is also common to fall into the disease of non-conceptuality, mistaking that as the source of liberation and thus clinging to or seeking a state of non-conceptuality as the main object of practice, whereas liberation comes only through the dissolving of ignorance and views (of subject/object duality, and inherent existence) that cause reification, by insight and realization. (See: The Disease of Non-Conceptuality) It is true that reification is conceptual. But merely training to be non-conceptual is simply suppressing the symptoms while not treating the cause - ignorance (resting in non-conceptual presencing is important as part of meditative training but must go along with wisdom [insight into anatta, dependent origination and emptiness] as the natural ongoing actualization of anatta). For non-reification leads to non-conceptuality but non-conceptuality itself does not lead to non-reified perception."

"Also, it is very important to understand that the 7 stages are not rankings of 'importance', but are simply the order of how certain insights unfolded in Thusness's journey, although I too have gone through the stages in pretty much the same order. Each realization in the Thusness 7 Stages is important and precious. The realization of 'I AMness' should not be seen as being 'less important' or 'arbitrary' when compared with the realization of emptiness, and I often tell people to start with or go through the I AMness realization to bring out the aspect of luminosity first (for some others, this aspect will only be obvious in later phases of practice). Or as Thusness said in the past, we should 'see all as important insights to release the deep karmic conditioning so that clarity becomes effortless, uncontrived, free and liberating.' The phases of realizations may not necessarily arise in the same order or linear way for each person, and one may need to cycle through the insights a couple of times for 'deepening' (see: Are the insight stages strictly linear?) Furthermore, as Thusness said, 'The anatta I realized is quite unique. It is not just a realization of no-self. But it must first have an intuitive insight of Presence. Otherwise will have to reverse the phases of insights' (see: Anatta and Pure Presence)

And as Thusness wrote before, 'Hi Jax, Despite all differences we may have about lower yanas, no practices needed, Absolute… I really appreciate your zealous attempt to bring this message into view and I agree with you wholeheartedly on this aspect of “transmission”. If one truly wants this essence to be “transmitted”, how can it be otherwise? For what that is to be passed is truly of different dimension, how can it be adulterated with words and forms? The ancient teachers are extremely serious observing and waiting for the right condition to pass the essence unreservedly and wholeheartedly. So much so that when the essence is transmitted, it must boil the blood and penetrate deep into the bone marrow. The entire body-mind must become one opening eye. Once open, everything turns “spirit”, mind intellect drops and what’s left is aliveness and intelligence everywhere! Jax, I sincerely hope you well, just don’t leave trace in the Absolute. Gone!'"

"Also, it is very important to understand that having a conceptual understanding of no-self, dependent origination and emptiness is very different from direct realization. As I told Mason Spransy in The Importance of Luminosity, it is very possible to have the conceptual understanding of Stage 6 but lacking in direct realization (see: Suchness / Mason Spransy). As Thusness pointed out in Purpose of Madhyamaka, if after all the analysis and contemplations of Madhyamaka (Buddhist emptiness teachings taught by Nagarjuna) one is unable to realize that the mundane is precisely where one's natural radiance is fully expressed, a separate pointing is necessary.

Many may wonder, why the need for so many phases of insights? Is there a way to reach liberation instantly? Some people find all these stages and information to be overly complex. Isn't truth something that is direct and simple? For the fortunate few (or perhaps, someone of 'higher capacity'), like Bahiya of the Bark Clothe, they were able to attain liberation immediately upon hearing a single verse of Dhamma/Dharma from the Buddha. For the majority of us, there is a process of uncovering truth and penetrating our thick layers of delusions. It is very common to get stuck at a phase of realization and think that one has reached a finality (even in earlier phases like Thusness Stage 1), but are still unable to dissolve subtle identities and reification that cause clinging, thus preventing liberation. If one is able to penetrate by insight and dissolve all self/Self/identities/reifications at once, one may be liberated on the spot. But if (most likely the case) one does not have this capacity to penetrate all delusions at once, further pointings and phases of insights are necessary. As Thusness said, 'Although Joan Tollifson spoke of the natural non-dual state as something “so simple, so immediate, so obvious, so ever-present that we often overlook”, we have to understand that to even come to this realization of the “Simplicity of What Is”, a practitioner will need to undergo a painstaking process of de-constructing the mental constructs. We must be deeply aware of the ‘blinding spell’ in order to understand consciousness. I believe Joan must have gone through a period of deep confusions, not to under-estimate it. :)' (Excerpt from: Three Paradigms with Nondual Luminosity)"

"धेरैले सोच्न सक्छन्, यति धेरै अन्तर्दृष्टिका चरणहरूको आवश्यकता किन? के तुरुन्तै मुक्ति प्राप्त गर्ने उपाय छ? केही मानिसहरूले यी सबै चरणहरू र जानकारीलाई अत्यन्तै जटिल पाउँछन्। के सत्य एकदम सरल र प्रत्यक्ष हुँदैन? भाग्यमानी केही (वा शायद 'उच्च क्षमता' भएका कसैले), जस्तै बर्क क्लोथका बाहिया, बुद्धबाट धम्म/धर्मको एक श्लोक सुनेपछि तत्कालै मुक्ति प्राप्त गर्न सक्ने थिए। हामीमध्ये धेरैका लागि, सत्य खोल्ने र हाम्रा गाढा भ्रमका तहहरूमा प्रवेश गर्ने प्रक्रिया छ। अन्तर्दृष्टिको चरणमा अल्झिएर र अन्तिमता पुगेको सोच्नु अत्यन्तै सामान्य छ (थस्नेस चरण १ जस्ता पहिलाका चरणहरूमा पनि), तर अझै पनि सूक्ष्म पहिचानहरू र पुनर्स्थापनाहरू गलाउन असमर्थ हुन्छन्, जसले आसक्ति सिर्जना गर्दछ, यसले मुक्तिलाई रोक्छ। यदि कसैले सबै आत्म/सेल्फ/पहिचानहरू/पुनर्स्थापनाहरूलाई एकै पटक अन्तर्दृष्टिबाट गलाउन सक्छ भने, त्यो तत्कालै मुक्त हुन सक्छ। तर यदि (सम्भावित रूपमा) कसैसँग यो क्षमता छैन भने एकै पटक सबै भ्रमहरूमा प्रवेश गर्न, थप संकेतहरू र अन्तर्दृष्टिका चरणहरू आवश्यक छन्। जस्तो कि थस्नेसले भनेका थिए, 'जोआन टोलिफ्सनले प्राकृतिक नोन-डुअल अवस्थालाई "एकदम सरल, तत्काल, स्पष्ट, सधैं उपस्थित भएको यस्तो कुरा भनेकी थिइन् कि हामी धेरै पटक अवहेलना गर्छौं", हामीले बुझ्नुपर्छ कि यस "के छ भन्नेमा सरलताको" एहसासमा आउन, एक अभ्यासकर्ताले मानसिक संरचनाहरूलाई बिर्सने पीडादायी प्रक्रियामा जानुपर्नेछ। हामीले चेतनालाई बुझ्न 'अन्धताको जादु'मा गहिरो चेतना हुनुपर्छ। म विश्वास गर्छु कि जोआनले गहिरो भ्रमको अवधि गुज्रिनु परेको थियो, यसलाई कम मान्नु हुँदैन। :)' (उद्धरण: थ्री प्याराडाइम्स विथ नोनडुअल लुमिनोसिटी)"

Original English Text:

"‘Though buddha nature is plainness and most direct, these are still the steps. If one does not know the process and said ‘yes this is it’… then it is extremely misleading. For 99 percent [of ‘realized’/’enlightened’ persons] what one is talking about is "I AMness", and has not gone beyond permanence, still thinking [of] permanence, formless… ...all and almost all will think of it along the line of "I AMness", all are like the grandchildren of "AMness", and that is the root cause of duality.” - John Tan, 2007

The stages are like a raft, it’s for the purpose of crossing over, it’s for the purpose of giving up our delusions and clinging, rather than for clinging on as some sort of dogma. It is a skillful means to guide seekers to realise their nature of mind and to point out the pitfalls and blindspots. Once realized, all the insights are actualized moment to moment and one no longer thinks about stages, and neither will one hold onto an ideation of having an attainment nor an attainer, nor somewhere else to get to. The whole luminous field of display is simply zero-dimensional suchness, empty and non-arisen. In other words, once the raft or ladder has served its purpose, it is left aside rather than carried up the shore. As Thusness wrote in 2010, "In actuality, there is no ladder or no 'no self' whatsoever. Just this breath, this passing scent, this arising sound. No expression can be clearer then this/these obviousness. Plain and Simple!" But what Thusness said here is referring to the post-anatta-realization actualization. It is easy induce a state of no-mind experience -- for example there are many stories about Zen masters giving a completely unexpected blow, a shout, a pinch on your nose out of a sudden, and in that moment of pain and shock, all sense of self and indeed all concepts are completely forgotten and only the vivid pain remains. This can induce what we call an experience of no-mind (a peak experience of no-self/no-subject) but should not be mistaken as the realization of anatta. However, anatta realization is what makes no-mind into an effortless natural state. Most of those teachers who have access to nondual experience that I’ve seen only express a state of no-mind but not the realization of anatta. As mentioned earlier, this topic is discussed further in No Mind and Anatta, Focusing on Insight and the fourth point of Realization and Experience and Non-Dual Experience from Different Perspectives. Hence, until the 7 phases are realized and actualized, the map is still very useful."

Translated into Nepalese:

"‘यद्यपि बुद्ध प्रकृति सरलता र सबैभन्दा प्रत्यक्ष हो, यी अझै पनि कदमहरू हुन्। यदि कसैले प्रक्रिया नजानी भन्छ 'हो यो नै हो'... तब यो अत्यन्तै भ्रामक हुन्छ। ९९ प्रतिशत [‘साक्षात्कार गरेका’/’जागृत’ व्यक्तिहरू]ले जुन कुराको कुरा गर्दछन् त्यो "म छु" हो, र अझै पनि स्थायित्वता भन्दा टाढा जान सकेका छैनन्, अझै पनि स्थायित्व, निराकार... ... सबै वा लगभग सबैले "म छु" भन्ने लाइनमा सोच्नेछन्, सबै "एमनेस"का नातिनातिना हुन्, र त्यो द्वैतताको मूल कारण हो।” - जोन तान, २००७

चरणहरू एक डुंगा जस्तै हुन्, यसको उद्देश्य पार गर्नु हो, हाम्रा भ्रम र आसक्तिलाई छोड्नु हो, कुनै प्रकारको सिद्धान्तको रूपमा झुण्डिनु भन्दा। यो मनको प्रकृति बुझ्न खोजी गर्नेहरूलाई निर्देशित गर्ने कुशल उपाय हो र जालहरू र अन्ध स्थानहरूलाई देखाउने हो। एकपटक साक्षात्कार भएपछि, सबै अन्तर्दृष्टिहरू क्षण क्षणमा प्रकट हुन्छन् र कसैले चरणहरूको बारेमा सोच्दैनन्, र न त कसैले प्राप्ति वा प्राप्तकर्ता हुनुको कल्पना गर्दछन्, न त कतै अर्को पुग्नुपर्ने ठान्दछन्। सम्पूर्ण प्रकाशित प्रदर्शनको क्षेत्र केवल शून्य-आयामी सुच्नेस, खाली र नोन-अराइजिंग हो। अर्थात्, एकपटक डुंगा वा सीढीले यसको उद्देश्य पूरा गरेपछि, यसलाई तटमा बोकेर लैजानुको साटो छाडिन्छ। जस्तै थस्नेसले २०१० मा लेखेका थिए, "वास्तवमा, कुनै सीढी वा 'नो सेल्फ' छैन। केवल यो सास, यो गुज्रिने सुगन्ध, यो उदय हुने ध्वनि। यो/यी स्पष्टताभन्दा अरू स्पष्ट अभिव्यक्ति हुन सक्दैन। सरल र साधारण!" तर यहाँ थस्नेसले भनेको अनात्ता-साक्षात्कारपछिको प्रकटीकरणको सन्दर्भ गर्दैछन्। नो-माइंडको अनुभव ल्याउन सजिलो छ -- उदाहरणका लागि, धेरै कथाहरू छ

"Thusness also wrote many years ago commenting on someone discussing Dzogchen practice as the realization of the luminous essence and integrating it into all experience and activities, 'I understand what he meant and but the way it is taught (Soh: i.e. discussed by the person) is misleading. It is simply non-dual experience and experiencing presence in both the foreground and background and in the 3 states (Soh: waking, dreaming, dreamless deep sleep). That is not realizing our true empty nature but our luminous essence... ...understand the difference between luminosity and empty nature (Soh: luminosity here refers to the aspect of Presence-Awareness, and emptiness refers to the lack of intrinsic existence or essence of Presence/Self/Phenomena)... ...Very often, people rely on the experience and not true realization of the view. The right view (Soh: of anatta (no-self), dependent origination and emptiness) is like a neutralizer that neutralizes dualistic and inherent views; by itself, there is nothing to hold. So realize what right view is pointing and all experiences will come naturally. The right enlightenment experience is like what (Zen Master) Dogen described, not merely a non-dual state where experiencer and what's experienced collapses into a non-dual stream of experience. This I have told you clearly.'"

"थस्नेसले धेरै वर्ष पहिले ध्यान गरेर कसैले ड्जोगचेन अभ्यासलाई प्रकाशको सार साक्षात्कारको रूपमा र सबै अनुभव र गतिविधिहरूमा एकीकरण गर्ने रूपमा छलफल गरेको बारेमा लेखेका थिए, 'म बुझ्छु कि उनले के भनेका थिए तर यसलाई सिकाउने तरिका (सोह: अर्थात् व्यक्तिद्वारा छलफल गरिएको) भ्रामक छ। यो केवल नोन-डुअल अनुभव हो र अग्रभूमि र पृष्ठभूमिमा उपस्थितिको अनुभव गर्नु हो र ३ अवस्थाहरूमा (सोह: जाग्रत, सपना, गहिरो निद्रामा सपनाहीन अवस्था)। यो हाम्रो वास्तविक खाली प्रकृतिको साक्षात्कार होइन तर हाम्रो प्रकाशको सार हो... ...प्रकाशता र खाली प्रकृतिबीचको भिन्नता बुझ्नुहोस् (सोह: यहाँ प्रकाशताले उपस्थिति-जागरूकताको पक्षलाई सन्दर्भ गर्दछ, र खालीपनले उपस्थिति/आत्मा/घटनाहरूको मौलिक अस्तित्व वा सारको अभावलाई सन्दर्भ गर्दछ)... ...मानिसहरू धेरैपटक अनुभवमा निर्भर रहन्छन् र विचारको सत्य साक्षात्कारमा होइन। सही दृष्टिकोण (सोह: अनात्ता (नो-सेल्फ), प्रत्याश्रित उत्पत्ति र शून्यता) जस्तै एक न्यूट्रलाइजर हो जसले द्वैत र स्वाभाविक दृष्टिकोणलाई निष्प्रभावी पार्छ; यसमा आफैंमा केही पनि धराउनु हुँदैन। त्यसैले बुझ्नुहोस् कि सही दृष्टिकोणले के संकेत गर्दछ र सबै अनुभवहरू स्वाभाविक रूपमा आउँछन्। सही जागृति अनुभव (जेन मास्टर) डोगेनले वर्णन गरेको जस्तो हो, केवल नोन-डुअल अवस्था होइन जहाँ अनुभवकर्ता र अनुभव गरिने कुरा नोन-डुअल अनुभवको धारामा मिल्छन्। यो मैले तपाईंलाई स्पष्ट रूपमा भनेको छु।'"

"Lastly, I'll end with something Thusness wrote in 2012, 'Has awareness stood out? There is no concentration needed. When six entries and exits are pure and primordial, the unconditioned stands shining, relaxed and uncontrived, luminous yet empty. The purpose of going through the 7 phases of insight is for this... Whatever arises is free and uncontrived, that is the supreme path. Whatever arises has never left their nirvanic state... ... your current mode of practice [after those experiential insights] should be as direct and uncontrived as possible. When you see nothing behind and magical appearances are too empty, awareness is naturally lucid and free. Views and all elaborations dissolved, mind-body forgotten... just unobstructed awareness. Awareness natural and uncontrived is supreme goal. Relax and do nothing, Open and boundless, Spontaneous and free, Whatever arises is fine and liberated, This is the supreme path. Top/bottom, inside/outside, Always without center and empty (2-fold emptiness), Then view is fully actualized and all experiences are great liberation.' In 2014, he said, 'All 7 phases of insight can be realized and experienced, they are not verbiage. But perfection in terms of actualization in everyday life requires refining our view, meeting situations and dedication of quality time in anatta and total exertion. The problem is many do not have the discipline and perseverance.'"

"अन्तमा, म २०१२ मा थस्नेसले लेखेको कुरासँग समाप्ति गर्नेछु, 'के चेतनाले खडा भयो? ध्यानको आवश्यकता छैन। जब छ प्रवेश र निस्क्रियाहरू शुद्ध र आदिम छन्, अनुत्पन्न चम्किरहेको, आराम र अनिर्मित, प्रकाशित तथापि खाली छ। ७ चरणको अन्तर्दृष्टिमा हिँड्ने उद्देश्य यही हो... जे पनि उदय हुन्छ, त्यो स्वतन्त्र र अनिर्मित छ, त्यो उच्चतम पथ हो। जे पनि उदय हुन्छ, त्यसले कहिल्यै आफ्नो निर्वाणिक अवस्थाबाट छुट्टिएको छैन... ... तपाईंको वर्तमान अभ्यास तरिका [ती अनुभवात्मक अन्तर्दृष्टिहरू पछि] यथासम्भव प्रत्यक्ष र अनिर्मित हुनुपर्छ। जब तपाईं पछाडि केही नदेख्नुहुन्छ र जादुमय प्रदर्शनहरू धेरै खाली छन्, चेतना स्वाभाविक रूपमा चम्किलो र स्वतन्त्र हुन्छ। दृष्टिकोण र सबै विस्तारहरू विलिन भएका छन्, मन-शरीर भुलिएको छ... केवल अवरुद्ध चेतना। चेतना स्वाभाविक र अनिर्मित उच्चतम लक्ष्य हो। आराम गर्नुहोस् र केही नगर्नुहोस्, खुला र सीमाविहीन, स्वतःस्फूर्त र स्वतन्त्र, जे पनि उदय हुन्छ त्यो ठीक छ र मुक्त छ, यो उच्चतम पथ हो। माथि/तल, भित्र/बाहिर, सधैं केन्द्रबिहीन र खाली (२-गुणा खालीपन), अनि दृष्टिकोण पूर्ण रूपमा प्रकट हुन्छ र सबै अनुभवहरू महान मुक्ति हुन्छन्।' २०१४ मा, उनले भने, 'सबै ७ चरणको अन्तर्दृष्टि साक्षात्कार र अनुभव गर्न सकिन्छ, ती केवल शब्दाडम्बर होइनन्। तर दैनिक जीवनमा प्रकटीकरणको पूर्णताले हाम्रो दृष्टिकोण सुधार, परिस्थितिहरूसँग सामना गर्ने र अनात्ता र सम्पूर्ण परिश्रममा गुणस्तरीय समयको समर्पण चाहिन्छ। समस्या यो छ कि धेरैसँग अनुशासन र धैर्य छैन।'"
