The Dalai Lama on Dzogchen and Rigpa:
“Dodurupchen says that all phenomena are quite definitely
such that they arise as rigpa’s energy or rigpa’s
display. From the point of view of the new schools of tantra
(sarma), everything that appears arises as the display of great
bliss, and the display of emptiness. In the terminology of
Dzogchen whatever manifests arises as the display of rigpa, and
that is certain. So the agent responsible for all of this as well
as the space and ground for it all, is the single state of Clear
Light. Everything, in fact , is the display or array of Clear
Light… Such experiences of Clear Light will arise, and when
they do, you are left without any fear of falling into samsara:
you are left without any hope of attaining nirvana: you are left
without any hope or fear whatsoever. All experiences and all
feelings, be they good or bad, karma, its results, birth and
death and change: all of this manifests as the magical display of
Clear Light.
This is what the “Twelve Vajra Laughs” are pointing at.”

The more one identifies as what One already effortlessly is--pure Awareness only--the thinking is from an entirely "new" viewpoint. It takes on a far better quality, and seems clearer, sharper, more discerning and astute. It seems "cleaner", meaning free of "mental junk," distractions, and its attendant emotions. Thanks to not being on their "level," you appear to use thoughts and emotions, they don't use you. In everyday affairs, one has a clearer sense of what is true and actual. One acts less naively, less prone to misguidance from limited personal judgments, extreme emotionalism, criticism, and opinions. Why? Consciousness--wholly apart from such things--is unconditioned Intelligence or Wisdom. It could be called clear unbiased Perception. Consciousness is All Peter Dziuban P.51 posted to Wisdom-l by Mark Scorelle
Meditating deeply... reach the depth of the
source.
Branching streams cannot compare to this source!
Sitting alone in a great silence, even
though the heavens turn and the earth is upset,
you will not even wink.
