Dance with Samsara, Deconstructing Ego's Drama

by Cecil Messer

Overview

Truth is not a spectrum of colors, but a single coherent beam of light that pierces the heart of delusion and can only be known through the lens of insight—an open mind. The color of truth is stainless and pristine, like the clear light of deep space. Ultimate truth stands alone and knows things as they are in reality. Conventional truth only knows the appearance of things and is like a spectrum of colors that takes on the hue of the perceiver. Dance with Samsara is a quest for truth that explores ways of liberation from our existential status as beings trapped in samsara, the perpetual cycle of birth, old age, sickness, and death. The basic cause of our predicament is the fundamental ignorance that prevents us from distinguishing the real from the unreal. This is a journey of discovery that leads to a radical transformation, an integral wholeness, that bears the fruits of meditation—radiant love and luminous clarity. It is a life-altering project for ripe ones who have reached dead-ends in their search for meaning. While advocating the perspective of an open mind, it neveretheless draws upon the wisdom teachings of the Buddha and illuminates the role of karma and reincarnation in our life. It provides a guide for spiritually inclined ones to develop ways to renew the mind and deconstruct the obstacles to wellbeing.
