This is what Awareness is!

Just rest the mind and body naturally, without pushing away thoughts, without seeking anything. This is all that is required, whether activity is strenuous, relaxed or in-between. What remains is clarity and alertness that is open like a clear sky. This is what awareness is!

Instinctive Recognition of Awareness

Awareness, relaxed and enormously potent, is the source of mental and emotional stability, insight and skillful qualities and activities. By the power of instinctive recognition of awareness, these become increasingly evident.

It makes no Difference

It makes no difference what points of view arise. In awareness, they vanish naturally, leaving no trace, like a line drawn in the sky.

Inseparable from Awareness

Like the color blue is inseparable from the sky, points of view are inseparable from awareness. We come to realize that no point of view has an origin independent of awareness

Awareness and Points of View

Points of view within awareness can be likened to a breeze blowing through the air. The breeze and the air are inseparable. Both are air

Always Present Awareness

At the very moment points of view form, recognize always present awareness.

Awareness is Obvious

When we stop thinking for a moment, the clarity of awareness is obvious. This clarity that is present when we are not thinking, is also present when we are thinking. All thoughts appear and vanish naturally, like the flight path of a bird in the sky.

The Basis of All Perceptions

Awareness is the basis of all perceptions. Without awareness, there wouldn’t be knowledge of anything.

Awareness is Essential

Awareness is the key point of our existence. It is the primary faculty through which we know that we exist. It would be impossible to know anything at all without awareness. Awareness is essential to every single perception.

Ultimate Comfort

The only place we’ll ever find ultimate comfort and well-being is in the clarity of awareness.

Long Term Benefit

By the power of clarity at all times, there is complete mastery over all mental and emotional states. The result guarantees immediate and long-term benefit. In instinctive clarity, there is the ability to easily and effortlessly empower ourselves and others to be the best that we can be.

Beneficial Power

By the power of instinctive recognition of clarity, its empowering atmosphere of beneficial power and energy are released and become evident in all situations.

The Most Important Choice

The most important choice in every moment is this choice: clarity or micromanagement of experience. It is only in allowing experience to be as it is that it spontaneously self-releases in radiant clarity.

Clarity

When thoughts and emotions are allowed to be as they are, a vast expanse of clarity and energy spontaneously arises. Suddenly, there is a wide range of solutions that never existed before.

Perfect Insight

In letting everything be as it is—a resource of perfect insight, profound clarity, mental and emotional stability, empathy and exceptional skillfulness opens up.

Luminous Clarity

Natural power binds everything together in luminous clarity. Luminosity arises spontaneously and is inseparable from clarity like the sky is inseparable from its luster.

Bright Sunlight

All experience is spontaneously outshone by clarity. This is similar to bright sunlight suddenly outshining all the planets and stars that had been evident at night.

Glorious and Spontaneous

Clarity is never distracted nor affected by appearances, including birth, life and death, waking, dreaming and sleeping. Upon the appearance of human birth, life and death, there is simply the basic space of natural perfection—the glorious and spontaneous self-release of the here-and-now.

As It Is

In all thoughts, emotions, sensations and experiences, it is clarity that is unavoidably present. Clarity is simply as it is.

Natural Perfection

Natural perfection is present in phenomena, and phenomena are present in natural perfection. There is no natural perfection that is separate or apart from phenomena, and there are no phenomena that are separate or apart from natural perfection.

Tremendous Energy

We have tremendous energy to be of benefit to all. We see how beneficial
our life can really be and how much we have to contribute. We see that
it’s possible to contribute in a relaxed way from a very profound level of
intelligence that is completely at ease and that has nothing to prove. It’s
very simple.

The Balanced View of Clarity

We tap into our innate strengths, gifts and talents. This is part of the shift from obsessive self-centered concern into the openness, ease and balanced view of clarity

The Ultimate Goal

Once we have been introduced to clarity, then we are satisfied with that and only need skillful ways to gain greater assurance. Actually, the introduction to clarity is the ultimate goal. Then all that there really is left to do is rely on clarity and its natural power that is of benefit to all.

Naturally Perfect

Clarity is naturally perfect and filled with beneficial qualities and activities. We are introduced to this natural perfection through our experience of the benefits of gaining assurance in clarity.

Confidence is Ensured

We simply rest the need to get involved in the flow of points of view, whenever we remember to do so. By the power of our commitment to this short moments, we will definitely gain confidence in clarity. Viewpoints do not have the power to distract us, and with the recognition of clarity, confidence is ensured.

Indestructible Clarity

When we start to gain assurance in clarity, we increasingly recognize that points of view are the natural power of indestructible clarity. We place full confidence in indestructible clarity rather than in points of view.

Life becomes Wondrous

Life becomes wondrous when we emphasize clarity rather than points of view. We become resilient and confident, able to laugh at our viewpoints, and to be responsive, beneficial and wise.

Rely on Clarity

New situations appear in our life, giving us opportunities to either repeat the same old responses or to rely on clarity. An interesting adventure unfolds.

Trust in Clarity

We gradually gain assurance in clarity and its power of benefit. The extent and timing of gaining assurance in clarity has a pace that is perfect. We learn to trust clarity completely.

Relax

Relax naturally. This is the recognition that all points of view are naturally present within clarity and do not need to be changed. We rely on clarity to let point of view flow along its natural course.

Life Flows Openly in Clarity

The direct experience of everyday life flows openly in clarity. There is no need to indulge, renounce, transform, refine or analyze points of view. Simply let them flow on by rather than trying to alter the course of points of view. It is clarity—the source of the dynamic energy of points of view—that is emphasized. Nothing need be done about the points of view.
