Where your ego, your “I”-ness, your labels or your addictions just disappear. You transcend all else to just BE the awareness. This is your “mind in its natural state.” Today's special guest C von Hassett maintains that once you’ve stepped over the threshold, to experience this awakened state, it is easier and easier to attain it—and there is no going back! Being bogged down in the “conceptual mind” pales in comparison and holds no attraction. In his book Entering the Mind, a poetic, illuminating and deep-diving volume of intense higher consciousness, C von Hassett shows you how to access it—and why you must—if your purpose is to seek more than what the “conceptual mind” offers—the transactional, the material, the emotional. A writer, editor and publisher of Riot Material magazine, C von Hassett is a decades-long practitioner of Dzogchen, an ancient wisdom practice which points the individual inward toward the recognition of their own mind, the path to full awakening. He and his wife, Rachel Reid Wilkie—who is also a skilled practitioner—are committed to bringing Dzogchen to the wider world as a way to open the wellspring of love, joy, compassion, ease and peace for all of humankin
