Awareness rests in itself

Awareness rests in itself. How marvellous! Awareness plays at resting in itself. This is the direct introduction of awareness: self-arising wisdom, love and tremendous power.
The nature of phenomena is unified within natural perfection. Each phenomenon has no independent nature. Like endless sky, it is equal to the vast expanse of awareness.

Spontaneously Perfect

Maintain ongoing awareness of point of view as if it were mist in the air, diminishing in and of itself; experience all points of view as the naturally occurring wisdom of awareness that knows its nature to be spontaneously perfect.

Naturally Perfect Awareness

In this treasury of awareness, the source of everything, natural perfection is spontaneously present, without having to be sought. So, within awareness, all points of view are naturally perfect. Since there is no point of view that is not perfect, everything arises as an inherently harmonious and unified display. Moreover, without exception, wisdom, and compassion naturally arise from the same source—naturally perfect awareness.

Infinitely Pervasive

The essence of all viewpoints is awareness, which is synonymous with natural perfection and its beneficial qualities and activities. Naturally present, it has not come from anywhere, nor does it go anywhere at all. The expanse of awareness, with no linear time frame, does not come or go, and is infinitely pervasive.

Naturally Perfect Qualities and Activities

In the unity of points of view and awareness, natural perfection is experienced as an unwavering, ongoing flow. Within always present awareness, naturally perfect qualities and activities that are very beneficial become evident.

Naturally Perfect

Within this basic space of awareness, everything is the scope of awareness. Within that single perfection, all is perfect—without being made so, everything is perfect. Naturally occurring timeless awareness is by nature naturally perfect.

Like Pure Space

One moment flowing into another like pure space. No separation anywhere into distinct moments that are made into something concrete, that substantiate any kind of identity, that substantiate any kind of occurrence. Right here, everything, flowing along, unceasingly, easily, effortlessly. Nakedly seeing itself exactly as it is.

The Instant of Instinctive Recognition

A short moment of instinctive recognition forever does away with a lifetime of confusion. That's how powerful it is—exceedingly powerful—without any doubt, in the instant of instinctive recognition.

Self-Perfect and Luminously Clear

Every here and now, regardless of the description imposed upon it, is self-perfect and luminously clear. There is no obstruction or interruption in sight anywhere. Just like in the flawless sky, there is no obstruction or interruption anywhere. Know your condition to be just like that. Never be fooled. Something so simple is exceedingly powerful.

True Relationship

True relationship comes when we can be with others without being ruled by our points of view. It means living in the oneness we all share, the pure awareness that includes and transcends all differences and sees everyone as its own self. Unconditional love and infinite respect for everyone naturally arise when we rest as awareness. That is real relationship.

An Expanse of Equalness

Awareness has mastery over all viewpoints. An expanse of equalness, all points of view are within the balanced view of awareness. With no wavering from this single, naturally occurring awareness, there is certainty that does not require effort or achievement. Given awareness is inclusive, everything, just as it is, is encompassed within the balanced view in which there is no differentiation or exclusion.

Look into your own awareness

Look into your own awareness! It has no shape. It has no color. It has no center or boundary. It has no beginning and is open and spacious like the sky. It has no place where it is located right now. It has no destination that it is going to. This openness and spaciousness is not made out of anything and is clear and alert.

Soothing Energy

Soothing energy will be increasingly obvious from the moment of recognition. This soothing energy is something we all desire, something that we all seek in all kinds of antidotes. When we instinctively recognize that soothing energy within ourselves, then we know that there is nowhere else to go and nothing to do. It’s already present. That’s it! Just relax! Acknowledge its presence. Nothing could be more natural. It is up to us.

Everything rests in Natural Perfection

Well-being doesn’t come about by changing anything. It’s recognized by leaving everything exactly as it is. Unflinchingly unafraid in the direct encounter with all experience, there is freedom in immediate perception of every thought, emotion, sensation or experience. There is complete perceptual openness in all experience, no matter what its description may be: anxiety, pleasure, pain, joy, panic attack, sheer bliss, comatose, wide awake, asleep, jumping for joy. Everything rests in natural perfection, so what would need to change?

Innate Treasury

This innate treasury holds infinite wealth of profound insight and benefit that are ready for you to enjoy. There is nothing to learn, nothing to do, no effort to make, nothing to change. The wealth of this treasury is in your own experience of the here-and-now. Whatever you may be thinking, whatever emotion you might have, whatever sensation you may have, whatever other experience you may have, there is nothing to change.

The Flow of Tremendous Benefit of All

Each individual has their own labels to describe phenomena. Thus, things are perceived in various different ways and are described in various different ways. Because you have examined these various descriptions and have failed to find anything, you continue on nakedly seeing everything from within, just as it is.

Yet with respect to all of these phenomena, in allowing them to be as they actually are, then that is the great power of natural perfection, subsuming everything whatsoever in the flow of tremendous benefit of all.

Great Benefit

Within awareness itself, natural perfection is inherently present. The natural perfection of the inseparability of awareness and points of view is a superb expanse that is timelessly perfect, timelessly arising. Timelessly and naturally present, awareness is without transition or change. By the power of awareness, great benefit arises unceasingly. Not created or developed, it exists timelessly. Like the sun in the sky, it is brilliant and ever-present.

Everyday Awareness

Everyday awareness is just everyday life itself. Since nothing needs to change, there is no need to behave in any special way or attempt to attain anything above and beyond what you actually are. There should be no feeling of striving to reach some "amazing goal" or "advanced state." The timeless wisdom of awareness naturally reveals its perfection and qualities in all experience. There is no effort to make.

Powerful and Ordinary Awareness

When we engage in the discovery of awareness, we cultivate the feeling of the openness of the entire universe. We open ourselves with absolute simplicity and spaciousness of mind. This is our own powerful and ordinary awareness that has nothing to guard or defend.

No Turning Back

Once the basic state has become an instinctive realization, then essentially there’s no turning back, because the nature of all phenomena has become perfectly clear.
No matter what kind of phenomenal appearance may arise and no matter how unexpected it is, there’s never a way for it to overcome us again. We’ve come to a basic understanding of the way things are, and this is the real, instinctive realization.

Wisdom

It is by allowing everything to be as it is that we open up to a profound wisdom that has been unknown to us. This wisdom is powerfully responsive in all situations. It is the wisdom of a balanced view that is not dependent on descriptive frameworks.

Openness

The openness of awareness gradually brings the discovery of innate warmth towards others and desire to be of benefit to them. We discover all of this by the power of relying on awareness—the one simple change that makes life easy. There is nothing else that need be done about points of view. All points of view are already unified in awareness. We rely on the power of awareness.

Relying on Awareness

By relying on awareness and making a one hundred percent commitment to that, you’re giving yourself the greatest self-love, the greatest self-respect and the greatest self-compassion. By gaining confidence in awareness, your relationship with yourself improves, and your relationship with others improves along with it. As your relationship with yourself improves, your relationship with others improves. You see that the way you tick is the same way other people tick.

Instinctive Recognition

Your own basic state of natural perfection is always with you wherever you are. It’s with you at the moment of your birth, it’s with you throughout you entire life, and it’s with you at the moment of death. It endures always, ceaselessly. In instinctive recognition of the basic state of natural perfection, you become aware that it is unending. That one moment of instinctive recognition introduces you and completely confirms the unending nature of the basic state of natural perfection throughout all descriptions and throughout all moments of the here-and-now.

Stay With What Works

Remember, short moments, repeated many times, become automatic.

Short moments, many times may seem too simple, too easy and like it couldn’t possibly work, but it is elegant and it is robust and it is right on and it will take you all the way to confidence in awareness. You can really count on that. Just by focusing on those short moments, you don’t have to worry about the other stuff. It will completely subside. Just stay with what works.

Your Own Power

Your own immediate self-awareness—that by which you know you are—exceedingly powerful, pure, clear, containing all knowledge and its systems and terms, everything directly accessible without any effort. Without any learning, beyond learning, but including all learning. Just like that, this is your own power, your own natural state, your own condition exactly as you are

Pure and Clear

The nature of awareness, which has the capacity to know everything and be aware of everything, is pure and clear. Like the sky, its purity and its clarity are inseparable and uninterrupted. Such is naked awareness seeing. So simply continue on systematically established as the luminous clarity of awareness; just this is the nature of reality, the basic state of natural perfection.

Perfect Health

The instant cure in every moment of the here-and-now—its own natural perfection! It lives in a state of perfect health. Every single moment abides unavoidably in a state of perfect health. Every moment—perfect mental and emotional stability no matter what's appearing.

Natural Perfection

The great unity of phenomena is innate rather than conceptually attained. Natural perfection manifests in all phenomena and is not affected by their appearance. Natural perfection outshines the need to create perfectibility through emphasizing the rearrangement of appearances. All remains spontaneously in natural perfection. This instinctive understanding or knowingness is equal to awareness.

Connect Intimately

It’s only when we come into allowing everything within us to be as it is and allowing everything external to be as it is that we’re really able to be free of everything. Then we’re able to connect intimately with everyone and everything.
