If a person gets stuck in psychotherapy, the whole world for him can become a stage of neurosis, and everyone will be perceived as one or another kind of sick. Neurosis and disease are only a small part of the potential manifestations of a human being. In each of us, there is and will always be sickness and suffering, yet at the same time there is a state of enlightenment.
Without a point of View (Tawa) of the Teachings that shows that everything is an illusion, people often believe that their perception of their own and other people's diseases is real and specific. Sometimes people can become very attached to their pain or become masters in accusations, knowing better and better who causes this suffering. Thus demonstrating few real changes in your actions.
No matter how difficult it is, a practitioner should always try to discover the absolute unrealistic nature of all things: thoughts, feelings, events of the past. And in this way you learn to free yourself from illusions, from reality and hardness of mind, which are always an obstacle to development along the way.
The focus of Dzogchen is on the essential enlightened nature of man, which somehow darkens himself, and which he must reveal again. In an enlightened state, a state of Contemplation that we try to remember and remain in it, there is no difference between good and evil, pain or pleasure.
All things are simply forms of existence, an example of our essential ability to manifest. Like a mirror whose nature is a reflection of everything without appreciation, shape differences are exactly the same. This is not a fantasy, but the real nature of reality. We are all Buddhas, enlightened creatures. We are. We just lost our presence in this knowledge.
~ Chogyal Namkai Norbu Rinpoche
