Complete Relief

The first time we make the choice to rely on clarity rather than emphasizing points of view, we sense the power of the complete relief to be found in clarity.

Keep it Totally Simple

Everything you think of, every emotion you have, every sensation, and all other experiences are simply points of view appearing in clarity. The more you think about it, the less you’ll instinctively realize it. There’s not a single thing to think about. Keep it totally simple

Spontaneous Intelligence

When we learn to complicate things, that’s just what we’ve learned. The more we relax, again and again, we see that clarity provides us with perfect spontaneous intelligence in all circumstances.

Keeping It Simple

It’s nice to have a simple way of talking about who we are that everyone can share within a common understanding. This is all part of keeping it simple.

A Simple Choice

Relax body and mind completely, no matter what point of view appears. Everything is totally free in the perception of it. Everything provides us with a simple choice: to recognize clarity or not.

Simply Relax

Points of view are countless, ceaseless and unpredictable. If you try to base well-being on rearranging or controlling the flow of points of view, you’ll be lost in an endless world of labels and descriptions. Simply relax.

Naturally Clear

There is nothing else that need be done about points of view. All points of view are naturally clear. We rely on the power of clarity in our everyday life.

Innate Warmth

The openness of clarity gradually brings the discovery of innate warmth towards others and the desire to be of benefit to them. We discover this by the power of relying on clarity—the one simple change that makes life easy.

Moment-to-Moment Clarity

Short moments of clarity, repeated many times, become automatic. We choose for clarity to be obvious to us or not. Moment-to-moment clarity is the most important choice we will ever make.

Clarity for Everyone

It all begins with recognizing the clarity of awareness within yourself. Then you become convinced that clarity for everyone is possible. There is no other way.

Well-being and Ease

To take short moments of clarity is to allow everything to rest. In allowing everything to rest in clarity, it becomes obvious that everything is inseparable from the basic state and is a source of well-being and ease.

This Basic State

No matter what appears, it has no nature independent of clarity. Nothing has ever existed independently, separate or apart from this basic state.

The Power of Clarity

Wherever you are, by the power of gaining confidence in clarity, you are automatically being beneficial. First you are beneficial to yourself, and then by the power of clarity, you’re automatically beneficial to others. You start to really care—about yourself and about everyone—in a very natural way.

Peace and Clarity

When we emphasize the clarity of awareness rather than points of view, we open up to the great unifying ground of peace and clarity that is the same for everyone.

The Power of Short Moments

By the power of short moments, many times, you come to rely on what is genuine, authentic, authoritative and convincing within you. Then, life becomes a lot easier.

Confidence in Clarity

Confidence in clarity is strengthened through the practice of short moments of clarity, repeated many times. By virtue of that, certainty about clarity is gained in your own experience.

The Most Important Choice

We choose for clarity to be obvious to us or not. Moment-to-moment clarity is the most important choice we will ever make.

Unending Clarity

The results of short moments of unending clarity are very powerful. We as a global human culture have finally tapped into a form of knowledge that can give us complete mental and emotional stability, clarity, insight, compassion, natural ethics and beneficial skillfulness in all situations.

Unique Intelligence

It’s this simple: If we do not rely on clarity, we never find this special intelligence. However, by the power of clarity, we find that this unique intelligence includes complete mental and emotional stability, clarity, insight, compassion, natural ethics and beneficial skillfulness in all situations.

Benefit

There are certain benefits that come from short moments of awareness, repeated many times. One benefit is complete mental and emotional stability and clarity. In clarity, there is profound intelligence and we are introduced to it right on the spot wherever we are.

Ultimate Comfort & Well-Being

Points of view are all equally self-presentations of clarity, and no matter their description, they pose no promise and they pose no threat. They are not threatening, nor are they something that is going to provide us comfort and well-being. The only place we’ll ever find ultimate comfort and well-being is in the clarity of awareness.

Present in All Thinking

Another crucial factor in the recognition of clarity is that clarity is equally present in all thinking—pleasant thinking and disturbing thoughts. Trying to get into a pleasant state is not what clarity is.

Freedom in Immediate Perception

There is freedom in the immediate perception of “not thinking” as equally as there is freedom in the immediate perception of “thinking.”

Simple

Rather than trying to get into a state of not thinking and calling it “awareness” or “clarity,” see that the clarity of awareness is present in every perception, whether there is thinking or no thinking. This keeps it very simple.

Uncontrived and Natural

By taking a short moment of awareness, we ensure that awareness is uncontrived and natural.

The Basis of Every Perception

There is no reason to complicate clarity. As clarity is the basis of every perception, it is already naturally present. It isn’t something that needs to be obtained sometime in the future. That’s why the single instruction that is needed is “short moments, repeated many times.”

Short Moments of Clarity

Continue to take short moments of clarity, leaving everything as it is, whenever you remember to do so, until clarity is continuous at all times.

Powerful Intelligence

Short moments, many times, become continuous. This exceptionally potent method grants access to a powerful intelligence and clarity that is not noticed when there is emphasis on descriptions or points of view.

Complete Relief

The very first moment of clarity already has within it the result of complete relief, mental and emotional stability, insight, compassion, self-benefit and the benefit of all. By repeatedly relying on clarity, it becomes automatic.

Simply As It Is

The flow of points of view is not altered. Everything is left simply as it is. By the power of short moments of clarity, clarity becomes increasingly obvious.
