This book answers the question to the most concealed practice in
the Bardo Todol, commonly known as The Tibetan Book of the Dead.
What is the true intent of the Secret of the Four Wisdoms Gathered
into the Clear Hollow Mysterious Passage of Vajrasatva? After
eliminating all other possibilities you will discover that Trekcho
and Togal are the one answer to this mystery. The encounter with
the Vajrasatva Mystery is an Imbedded Clue to Trekcho and Togal
which reveal Clear Light Evenness, not only in the after death
state, but equally in the living state. Trekcho, Letting Go and
Togal, the Four Stages of Soaring On or Skull Crossing are the
deepest secrets of Dzogchen, the Natural Great Completion. In
Nyingma these are restricted secret practices kept from the public
eye. Whereas, in the Kagyu school and Bonpo tradition these same
methods are open to one and all. You are the decider on these two
attitudes. Let your thought be lighted by the words of the Lion of
the Sakyas, "Ananda? I have set forth the Dharma without making any
distinction of esoteric and exoteric doctrine; there is nothing,
Ananda, with regard to the teachings that the Tathagata holds to
the last with the closed fist." I hope you will find the freedom of
your own experience in the detailed observations and in depth
examinations of these secret methods of Dzogchen. The text is in no
way, nor tries to be a teaching text, a manual, nor a guidebook on
Trekcho and Togal or Bardo, for I am in no way at all, a teacher,
an expert nor a guide in these practices. Nor do I ever wish to be
one. This essay is an answer to a life long question I have had
since reading the Bardo Thodol as a young person. "What is the true
meaning of Vajrasattva, the Mysterious Passageway and the Union of
the Four Wisdoms?" It just so happens that after one goes through
all possibilities of what this means one finally comes to the
sacred secret teachings of Dzogchen's Trekcho, Togal and Bardo. So
I have had to explain what little that I know about these special
secret practices to answer the primary question this text attempts
to answer. Why wade through the torrent of concepts on this when we
can go directly to the clear, most reasonable and satisfactory
answers that leave no shadow of hesitation? Vajrasattva stands for
the Primordial Clear Light Void as Love and Compassion. The secret
Mysterious Way of the pure Clear Passage of Vajrasatva is the Kati,
running from the Heart to the Eyes. Within this Kati are the Four
Lamps. From Clear Light, through the Open Kati these Lamps give
forth an arising to the Four Togal Appearances. Since it is found
in the highest wisdom texts from Dzogchen on Trekcho, Togal and
Bardo and Tibetan's favorite book on guidance in the afterlife, it
is worthy of taking a serious look.
This book is the republication of the original twenty-one journal
volumes entitled Disturbing Delights, (written between 1992-1994).
The additional essay, Quantum Kamakala: Seeking the Mysterious in
Hidden Tantric Superstructures and Quantum Superstring Theory, is
contemporary, written in 2000.
This manuscript, Mortal Grounding, has a simple thought in mind. To
bring together our modern cosmological knowledge with our
understanding of what is consciousness. It is something of a task
to unite these two styles of comprehension about our existence, as
much as it is to join quantum physics with general and special
relativity. The idea is that both want to reach the source, the
source of what is cosmological and what is consciousness. It seems
simple enough. Cosmology studies the creation, searching for the
creator of it all, whatever that may be. Consciousness seems to
look more at what is the creator in order to understand creation.
They are parallel and reversed, but both seek to understand,
re-link, comprehend or unite with the Mystery. This Universe's
Given Moment of reaching, of conscious mortal becoming, grounded on
Earth, for the brief moment, life to death, yet in and as a rare
something more, the rarest star stuff circling back as
consciousness that is able to grasp its origin, without a direction
transposed as time's beginning. This would be one idea of mortal
grounding. Some of the subjects taken up in this endeavor of
unification are Pure Gravity, Spacetime Fluid, the Superclustering
of Universes, Wave Cosmology, Non-Local Independent Consciousness,
the question, is this Logical or Mystical. The text also leans
heavily on Tantra's explanations, examining the myriad layers of
consciousness and their psychological weight, the intriguing erotic
energy, the hidden secrets that are rarely discussed and the nature
of freedom according to the belief system of Tantra.
