Classic Buddhist or Humanistic Views: Becoming Whole

Two explanations of the innate view:
Buddhist version--
The classic Buddhist view describes the innate view as taking the transitory and impermanent state as permanent. All suffering arises from this misknowledge. However, I expand this to include the carefully prepared, full minimum set of perceptions, which allow humans to participate within the boundaries of the human realm. After the breakthrough of enlightenment, aware practitioners will not discard the purified innate view as useless but will mold it skillfully into a correct conventional view containing the realizations of the awakened state.

Same view but a non-Buddhist explanation--
There are carefully prepared perceptions that allow humans to participate in human potential development within the human realm. We do not damage our perceptions by pretending the world is not there, or that we are not here, in order to participate in some other realm. The innate view can be viewed either as a kind of prison or as a protection from too much inner data. We need to change wrong perceptions into correct perceptions not, according to changing spiritual fad or fashion, but higher evolutionary process while still maintaining a balanced life ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~

The awakening blessing is not like the gentle cascade of illuminating wisdom described in our meditation practice to be poured into our everyday mind that can be used for our spiritual growth. Of course, we want and need free time to meditate. We also want the Buddha to cause our lives to become suitably rearranged for more spiritual emphasis that is called leisure and endowment in Buddhist term inology. This is correct thinking and requesting. However, that will not be nearly enough leisure and endowment to cause the actual awakening. After a great deal of preparation, we must then sincerely make the request for a tremendous burst of illuminated power and energy, like a flash of lightning, to open the door to our enlightened true nature. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~ "Die Segnung des Erwachens sind nicht wie die in unserer Meditationspraxis beschriebene sanfte Kaskade der erhellenden Weisheit, die wir in unseren Alltagsgeist schütten, um sie für unser spirituelles Wachstum zu nutzen....

Correct meditation facilitates better data input to your deep innermost actual being by sending a different message about this world. When our strategies are in alignment with higher development preparation, it is like living in a different world than before. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~ "Korrekte Meditation erleichtert eine bessere Datenaufnahme durch dein tiefes innerstes eigentliches Wesen, da sie eine andere Botschaft von dieser Welt vermittelt. Wenn unsere Strategien auf die Vorbereitung zur höheren Entwicklung ausgerichtet sind, ist dies als lebten wir in einer anderen Welt als zuvor." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche --- Deep beneath ordinary thoughts lies our true nature; pure, vibrant and still as a pristine reflecting pool. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~ Tief unter den gewöhnlichen Gedanken liegt unsere wahre Natur; rein, kräftig und still wie ein unberührter, spiegelnder Teich." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche --- Profondamente al di sotto del livello dei pensieri ordinari giace la nost...
