My more western way of describing "Rigpa"

To experience the Mirror like Clarity of Rigpa which often comes from Dzogchen practices or "just living and experiencing life" one tends to experience the fact that this life is just one of many which are sort of like "masks"  we wear as souls as we travel the universe and all time and space.

The way this is approached for an eastern mind is somewhat different than we might experience while growing up with a western mind as well but most of that is superficial and cultural rather than actual.

For me, the whole point is that we "Naturally" are pure and undefiled in our natural primordial pure nature as souls traveling inside and outside of time and space and to and from the void which we can spontaneously manifest from. So, that this lifetime might be one of millions or more lifetimes of various kinds we might experience in the past, present or future or even in other universes or dimensions inside or outside of time and space of this universe we presently inhabit this body in.

So, in understanding that we are "Naturally" pure and undefiled in our primordial state this becomes extremely powerful to where our experience is that maybe this lifetime is one millionth or less of our naturally pure soul that is pure and undefiled in it's naturally pure primordial state beyond any time or space forever having existed and forever to exist on into the foreseeable future or futures.
