[Music] In 4th and lastly, seeing into one's own nature, realizing Buddha good. And here, of course, a much more metaphysical, a much more transcendental. Dimension enters in or begins to be disclosed. Here one, as it were, penetrates into the depths, into the ultimate depths of one's own true nature. And at the same time, one realizes what Buddhism calls Buddhahood. By penetrating to the depths of one's own nature, one's own being, into the ultimate depths, one emerges as it were. On the other side, it emerges into Buddhahood, because Buddhism would say, and Zen would say, most emphatically, in the depths of one's being. Far beyond the mind, far beyond even the higher mind. In a new dimensional together, one of which, most of the time, were not even aware. But there, one is Buddha, was Buddha, and always will be Buddha, not in time, out of time altogether. And therefore one has nothing to gain. There's no Buddhahood to gain, it's there all the time. And one has never really truly ever lost anything. And when one realizes this, when one wakes up to the fact that in the depths of one's being, in one's ultimate nature, one is Buddha, then naturally a tremendous creativity, a tremendous, also spontaneity, is released because one is in touch with the sources of reality. And reality therefore flows through one, and one is reality. One is going to go far beyond psychotherapy, far beyond Zen, far beyond all the aspects of Buddhist psychology.
