A wizard exists in all of us.

This wizard sees and knows everything.
The wizard is beyond opposites of light and dark, good and evil, ... all pleasure and pain. Everything the wizard sees has its roots in the unseen world. Nature reflects the mood of the wizard. The body and the mind may sleep, but the wizard is always awake.

The wizard possesses the secret of immortality. Deepak Chopra on The Way of the Wizard ... Enjoy

    Once again, you've mistaken nondual truth for the pabulum of the New Age™.

        Unfortunately, there are mountains of misapprehension about nondual truth existing in spiritual culture, all of which potentially block self-understanding from coming to awareness. The myths and superstitions which have become imbedded in the Yoga/New Age syncretism that has effectively become the new Hinduism in the States and India are much more likely to be keeping many sadhakas in ignorance more than just about anything else, imo.

        While it's true we can't really say anything about nondual truth that is actually true, we can infer the relative truth of ideas about nondual truth. While every single idea about nondual truth that a mind can generate will be ultimately incorrect, some contexts of presentation are less polluted with the myths and superstitions which occlude the ever-present truth from coming into recognition.

        So, there is a reason to discuss optimal ways of presenting nondual truth in a way that doesn't contribute to the occlusion that is built into much of modern, Vedic-based spiritual culture.

        Then again, that's probably just more of the shit you aren't digging here. If so, sorry to burden you.

    You just described True Mind as defined by the RTRRT, or Zen Mind. The mind that people use is however false ego as installed by the devil, personal devil, taht is. This mind can not understand the other, it has been told to do so and it naturally thinks itself SUPERIOR to man's original mind, which it enslaved.
