“the realm of utter reality”
“The Implicate Order is the keystone that directs the energies of the overarching narrative of Simple Reality and sustains the structure of Paradigm-A.”[i]
The Implicate Order is foundational to the human story. “That which we don’t directly see, hear, taste, feel, touch, or think—constitutes the Implicate Order … a vast realm … that lies beyond what we directly perceive in the physical universe … present everywhere, but visible nowhere.”[ii]
Insight # 7 comes to us from Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche (1939-1987). He was the founder of the Tibetan Buddhist organization Shambhala International and Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado.
“You actually can connect your own intrinsic wisdom with a sense of greater wisdom or vision beyond you. You might think that something extraordinary will happen to you when you discover magic. Something extraordinary does happen. You simply find yourself in the realm of utter reality, complete and thorough reality [the Implicate Order].”[iii]
