All we really are is a conglomeration of atoms and molecules floating in space held together by the thought of a self-existing mass called "I". Because we think that
this "I" actually exists the polarity of our thought signals magnetize the electrons and protons to coagulate into a biomass that we identify as our "self". This self goes
on to magnetize other atomic masses such as food, clothing, shelter and a whole host of consumer products thinking that the more we have the happier we will be.
however, no matter how much the I is able to amass in this life it never reaches a state of true happiness because gathered mass is impermanent which defies the grasping habit of I. That's why all of the enlightened masters since beginningless time have
reached ultimate happiness through reversing their polarity into the vastness of space.

By reversing the polarity of "self"-ishness into "self"-lessness the process of consumption transforms into generosity and all of the aggregates called "I" dissolves into the space of
primordial awareness. That's why the Buddha taught us generosity as the first of the six perfections that lead us to the ultimate state of wisdom . Quite often when great masters such as the Karmapa or Druwang Rimpoche have entered deep meditation the thought of I dissolves and their bodies have actually been recorded dissolving into rainbow light and have even dissapeared into space all together right in front of people with cameras and cam corders. So by reversing the polarity of our self-grasping nature into the divine expression of generosity we too can develop the ultimate attainment of the rainbow body and dissolve our physical aggergates back into the vastness of primordial wisdom space.

All things in the manifest world are simply the five wisdom energies that arise from the clear light nature of our own wisdom minds. They arise as the phantom dreams and
delusions of a mentally created reality. That's why everyone experiences phenomena in a different way even though they receive the same stimuli. Phenomena arises in the mind
as the five wisdom energies, course the five mental processes of form, feelings, perception, impulses and consciousness and will eventually dissolve back into the clear light nature from which they came from. Through deep meditation the awareness beyond self arises and that awareness is free from all attachments and aversions. freedom from all attachments and aversions is none other than the great state of equanimity of self liberated awareness.

The five stages of our thought process known as the five skandas begin with form. Form is an actual object or situation in our life's experiences. Feelings are how we feel towards
that object whether it is good, bad or neutral. Perception is developing an emotion in relation to the object or situation. Impulses are acting out how we feel about the object or
situation. Consciousness is the solidified karma of interacting with that object or situation. By remaining neutral free from all attachment and aversion, hope and fear, pushing or pulling to all arising objects and situations in life's experiences their control over us has nowhere to take root. When they can't take root there is no place to grow and they just dissolve back into the vastness of space where they originally came from. This is the great self liberated state of primordial awareness. Most people who are just stepping onto the path that leads to primordial awareness have a hard time spontaneously liberating all of their thoughts and life's situations as they arise. That is why the primordial Buddha Samantabhadra taught us the five ways to reverse our polarity into the vast expanse of space.

All objects and life's experiences arise from the vastness of our own minds or the groundless state of space. They come into our lives from nowhere, exist for a moment in time and dissolve back into the vastness of space. There is nothing in life thatis truly permanent except for the eternal light of primordial awareness, which is not a thing but actually the container and true nature of all things. All things arise and descend from the creation and dissolution of the five elements. From space arises wind. From wind arises fire. From fire arises water. From water arises earth. From earth descends water. From water descends fire. From fire descends wind. And, from wind descends space in a never-ending cycle of atomic interaction, over action and counter action that creates and dissolves the phenomenal world in which we live.

From the vastness of space all things manifest in the form of electromagnetic light energy that radiates in forms detectable with the five sense organs; eyes, ears, nose,
tongue and body. What we know of the world we see, hear, smell, tastes or feel. What we see comes from the five colors. What we hear comes from the five sounds. What we smell comes from the five odors. What we taste comes from the five flavors. What we
feel comes from the five textures. All of our experiences in life come from these five sense perceptions and their consciousnesses as they course the five skandhas.

The five poisonous states of mind of the five elements are ignorance, greed, jealousy, hatred and pride. Ignorance is the root cause of our suffering which is the false belief
that the "I" actually exists. Most people think of ignorance as lacking something but in this case it is actually something that we've acquired, the delusion of an independently
existing mass called "I". Once we have established the I, me or mine the karma of suffering, causes and conditions now have a place to take root and that is why the first root poison is ignorance. The ignorant "I" now needs to magnetize food, clothing and shelter for its apparent survival and this gives rise to the second root poison of greed. Now that we are consuming masses of gross material phenomena we become unhappy when we see others who have even more than we do and this gives rise to the third root poison of jealousy. Now that we are jealous of others we are willing to slander, covet, manipulate, steal and even hurt others to get ahead, which gives rise to the third root poison of hatred. Now that we hate others we are willing to compete with them, hurt them, steal from them and even kill them, which gives rise to the fifth root poison of pride. Once we become king of the hill and full of pride we look down on others and easily allow all of the poisonous emotions to arise creating the negative karma that has kept us locked in the prison cell of the six realms of samsara since beginningless time.

With great compassion the king of Bodhisattvas Samantabhadra taught us how to reverse the polarity of our five poisonous emotions and transform them into the five wisdom
activities of the bliss light dakinis. When we reverse the polarity of our ignorance it is transformed into wisdom. When we reverse the polarity of our greed it is transformed
into compassion. When we reverse the polarity of our jealousy it is transformed into rejoicing. When we reverse the polarity of our hatred it is transformed into love. When
we reverse the polarity of our pride it is transformed into humility. When we reverse the polarity of our five poisonous emotions they become the five root medicines and
the five elements transform into the five pure wisdom rainbow lights and the five bija syllables of the divine yidam and mantra. The gross elements dissolve into the subtle
elements and the subtle elements dissolve into the sublime primordial space of boundless equanimity. By developing our generosity and meditation the polarity of our molecular
conglomeration reverses so that we too can dissolve into the vastness of space like the Karmapa and Druwang Rinpoche. In fact the young lama Gatuo Rinpoche of White Jade County, Tibet has already led over ten thousand students to the rainbow body and if we commit ourselves to a practice of meditation and generosity we too can reverse our polarity into the vastness of space.

Reverse the polarity of samsara and nirvana is naturally obtained!!!
