The witchy bardo of being 🧙 🎃
The minds of all ordinary beings are magicians whose magic is a deceptive trick through which truth is made untrue or untruth is made true for pleasure of for suffering.
People are afraid of magic and become suspicious because they divide the gross elements from the subtle elements and mistrust the connection between them. This division habit results in an imbalance between the gross and the subtle elements. Then, if a bad circumstance arises such as an accident or sickness, we sometimes think it is black magic coming from a magician, demon, or ghost.
Of course in general, until our dualistic mind is exhausted, we have negative phenomena. Particular demons or ghosts do exist through these phenomena, but we should never think they are different from our own neurotic mind. We will always be fooled or tricked until all black magicians have become transformed into white wisdom magicians and until we have transformed our neurotic mind into Wisdom Mind.
