Tiger transformation


Re-watching the Song of Liberation retreat videos.

YMR ended on a teaching that is a golden nugget. 

If your friend hides outside your house in a tiger costume, scares you, and then reveals the prank, you will be less likely to be fooled by other friends in tiger costumes. 

Same things with emotion.  In Nature of Mind practice we learn to see the empty clarity in an emotion. This is a progression from Joy of Living, where we simply looked at emotion.   If you see the empty clarity in one emotion, all the other emotions will transform. 

Trust the clarity.
