* First the white element moves or flows downward from the top of your head toward your heart. As it moves downward, you experience a pervasive, brilliant whiteness, as though everything had become entirely composed of white light. This appearance increases as this white drop approaches your heart. At this time, through the movement of this white drop or white constituent, of the various types of thoughts which you have been hav- ing throughout your life, all of the conceptuality and thought connected with aversion, anger and aggression cease. Traditionally, all the different types of thoughts are enumerated as eighty. Of these, thirty- three are connected with aggression. These thirty- three types of aggressive thoughts stop at this point. * The second stage of this subtle and final dissolution is that the red drop or red constituent, previously found below the navel, flows or moves upwards, also approaching your heart. As it moves upward whereas, in the previous stage everything was perceived as a brilliant whiteness, everything is now perceived as a brilliant redness, as though everything were a brilliant red light. As this stage of dissolution occurs, all of the thoughts and conceptuality connected with attachment or desire cease. In the traditional enumeration of the eighty different types of thoughts, there are forty connected with desire, which cease at this time. * The third stage occurs when the two drops-the white drop which descends from the head and the red drop which rises from the abdomen meet at the heart. As they meet, they enclose or sandwich your consciousness between them, as a result of which you experience a pervasive blackness, an absolute obscurity. At that moment, the final seven of the eighty different types of thoughts, the seven thoughts which are connected with bewilderment, cease. This process occurs normally as an unrecognized event for most people. However, because at this point in the death process all the different types of thoughts connected with the three fundamental kleshas have ceased, if there is some stability of mind and some recognition of this process in the dying per- son, then this moment becomes a great opportunity and the death process can become the basis of lib- eration. It is for this reason that Padampa Sangye said that death is not death for the yogi or yogini; it is buddhahood. What is meant here is that, if you possess instructions and training, then what naturally occurs at the time of death because of the cessation of conceptuality, can be an opportunity to attain buddhahood.
