Remember the clear light, the pure clear white light from which everything in the universe comes, to which everything in the universe returns; the original nature of your own mind. The natural state of the universe unmanifest. Let go into the clear light, trust it, merge with it. It is your own true nature, it is home — Tibetan Book of the Dead
One of the purposes of ritualing is to manifest qualia into the world. Qualia doesn’t take form until matter moves toward it, and gathers itself around it. Redness, for instance, comes into being only when both creatures and plants begin to develop a qualiadelic relationship around redness. All evolution is the result of similar relationships, and life itself is just a manifestation of qualia.
Qualia are the ideal forms to which all matter clings, uniquely, imperfectly, and individually. When we die, all matter lets go of the qualia around which it has formed, just as a melting snowflake loses its hexagon.
A well-developed sense for qualia allows us to hold on to it when things fall apart. It allows us to remember the clear, white light even in death. Contrarily, the focus on matter leaves us haunted by the karmic traces of our life’s desires. The practice of conscious ritualing — the development of our qualiadelic sense — can be a preparation for death. In death we e can continue to move toward ideal forms even as we, and they, become unmanifest.
Qualia needs us as much as we need it. It may be as simple as a hexagon or as sublime as a heaven, but as qualia has attracted us in life, so shall it continue in death.
