Actually that is a way of looking at the world I have not heard of or thought of. I understand what you’re saying though, it’s an interesting way to model samsara. And obviously straight out of tradition. Heck, I’ve been expecting to see bright flashes over the horizon for over a year now.
My instinctive reaction to it all is “it’s just phenomena.” I don’t mean to sound high-minded about it. I will probably fail to fully realize what I’m referring to there this time around. But this clown show we call “phenomena” is having less and less affect on me. I’m going to try to ride that progress as far as I can.
As for Schmucky, the last big realization he had was “Oh, this is how you get elected and rich, smile for the camera and pretend you care.” :)
Wouldn’t wanna be him. Can’t say how this one will end but he might wind up in a bag of cricket flour at the end of his next life. lol
One of the Lojong slogans comes to mind when speaking of phenomena :
Be a child of illusion.
BUt the dynamic of samasara and the battle between Jealous Gods is why we have protectors.
The protector principle and dwelling between the interstices of chance is right on the front burner these days.
