The Beauty of Short Moments

Everyone and everything is already naturally powerful, regardless of the label or description. This becomes obvious in short moments. The beauty of short moments is that there is increasing confidence, increasing ease and increasing soothing energy, no matter what seems to be occurring in our lives.

Complete Openness

By the power of clarity, all is welcomed with complete openness. This automatically cuts through the barriers created by habitual emotional patterns.

Open Clarity

Completely open clarity triggers warmth, joy, power and energy. Clarity is the source of stability, profound insight, natural ethics, spontaneous motivation to benefit all, skillful activity and the actual power to consistently fulfill beneficial creative intent. Yes, a short moment is completely packed with all of these powers

Complete Soothing Energy

By allowing all to be as it is, more and more all points of view are recognized to be inseparable from clarity—the ground of complete soothing energy.

Natural and Ease

When we take short moments, we start to experience the naturalness and ease that comes about by allowing points of view to flow on by. This is what it means to have confidence in clarity: that no matter what the points of view are, we don’t try to control them. Short moments are repeated many times.

Instinctive Natural Power

A short moment of clarity is a short moment of instinctive natural power. Natural power is built in and it is only accessible in clarity. It’s engineered into every short moment—a short moment that is completely powerful and soothing.

Tremendous Power

Through short moments of clarity, you will have tremendous power and energy to be of benefit to all, and you will see how profoundly you can be of benefit to yourself. Then you have the thrill of reality where you see how beneficial your life can really be and how much you have to contribute.

Short moments, repeated many times, until continuous, is the direct means for experiencing that all points of view are naturally perfect and inseparable from clarity.

The Sun in the Sky

As confidence is gained, we discover that points of view release spontaneously, and qualities like clarity and deep caring shine forth in clarity like the radiance of the sun in the sky.

Clarity in Daily Life

It is important to integrate clarity into every situation of ordinary daily life, and this comes about most easily in short moments.

Short Moments of Clarity

With the groundwork of short moments of clarity, we enter into the recognition of clarity as inseparable from points of view. This happens naturally. It is important to be satisfied with this simple assurance in clarity rather than continuing to search for new and better points of view.

Rely on Clarity

It is very important at the start not to push ourselves too hard and to simply rely on clarity for short moments, many times. We must remember that the fundamental purpose of short moments, many times, is to realize, maintain and develop continuity of clarity. We simply rely on clarity rather than emphasizing points of view.

Natural Warmth

We find the natural warmth, perfection, deep caring, spontaneity and clarity that is present within the natural flow of all points of view. Each point of view is an equal appearance of clarity so there is no special point of view to look for. All the points of view of the here-and-now are what clarity is.

Gaining Confidence

As we gain confidence in clarity, we’ll find that it’s easier to do whatever it is we are doing. We’ll see more interesting ways of approaching all of our tasks in all aspects of our lives.

Ease of the Basic State

It’s likely that most of your life you have felt at the whim of your thoughts and emotions to one degree or another. By gaining confidence in clarity, you start to see that clarity has mastery over all thoughts and emotions. For most people, this is discovered little by little and progress is made gradually. More and more all experience is outshone by the clarity and ease of the basic state.

An Adventure of Great Wonder

To familiarize oneself with clarity for short moments is an adventure of great wonder. You start to see that clarity outshines all points of view within it. In the same way that all of infinite space contains everyone and everything, so too, clarity contains all points of view without exception.

Super-Intelligence

With the instinctive recognition of clarity we see that we don't need to analyze clarity for it to be present. It opens us up to a powerful clarity or super-intelligence that subsumes all ideas in its great perspective.

Instinctive Realization of Clarity

More and more of our experience is gathered up into the instinctive realization of clarity. In gaining confidence in clarity, the confusion of believing in the independent nature of point of view is diminished.

Complete Assurance

Through this powerful and natural commitment, complete assurance in clarity comes about. In other words, rather than having to make the choice to rely on clarity, the confidence becomes so strong that clarity is naturally present without needing to rest.

Gain Confidence in Clarity

It cannot be contrived, so there is no way to push ourselves into clarity by forcing ourselves to be clear for long periods of time. The only way to really gain confidence in clarity is through uncontrived short moments of clarity, repeated many times, until it becomes continuous.

Source of Great Ease and Well-Being

Gradually and very profoundly we increasingly realize that there is something about us that is totally reliable and a source of great ease and well-being.

Day-to-Day Clarity

It is in our practical day-to-day experience that we gain confidence in clarity. More and more we rely on our own direct experience of clarity and instinctive clarity, rather than focusing on our opinions or the opinions of others.

Soothing Energy

With short moments of clarity we come to see that there is a continuous soothing energy present throughout all daily activities. We see that we can rely on clarity, no matter what is going on.

Ultimately Reliable

Clarity is the source of all experience and is inseparable from all points of view. It offers us something that we haven’t found anywhere else in our life, and it’s something that we can count on.

After the introduction to clarity, it’s very important to commit to short moments of clarity as often as we remember. Short moments, repeated many times, become continuous.

Practical Results

When we gain confidence in clarity, it has practical results on all levels of living. When we see the power of clarity, we are simultaneously seeing our own power to benefit ourselves as that power unleashes well-being within us that we never knew was possible.

Instinctive Recognition

Confidence is gained through instinctive recognition. It is not gained through thinking about clarity or through reasoning. It is gained by the direct perception that all points of view are inseparable from clarity.

Complete Perceptual Openness

Clarity is complete perceptual openness in all experience. It is freedom in immediate perception rather than being focused on stories.

Clarity, Openness and Ease

As we go about our ordinary life, we find that we are not as willing to get involved in all the stories about our points of view. When we don’t run off after all the stories to try to describe our life, then our whole approach to life completely alters. We experience everything with increasing clarity, openness and ease.

Acknowledge Clarity

When something appears—whether it’s a thought, emotion, sensation or experience—rather than getting involved in the story about that experience, the choice is made to rely on clarity and to acknowledge clarity rather than getting involved in all the descriptions and ideas that have been used to describe everything.
