Self-Release of the Here-and-Now

The spontaneous self-release of the here-and-now is guaranteed: a 100% guarantee, one moment at a time. OMAT, OMAT, OMAT, OMAT. There is no way to grab OMAT or nail it down. OMAT can’t be made into a thing; it is here and gone, never to be duplicated again.

OMAT. ODAT

Each one of us has to live our human life; no one else is going to do it for us. How do we do that? We do it one day at a time: ODAT. That’s the acronym. “One day at a time.” ODAT. Or, “one moment at a time”: OMAT. ODAT and OMAT—that’s easy to remember, isn’t it?

Our Power to be of Benefit

We have to find out—in our own direct experience—about our power to be of benefit. Just like many people have found that out for themselves, in your own experience you have to see how there is a simple structure that can be looked at in order to very directly understand the nature of your own reality and how powerfully beneficial you truly are.

All Data have Truth-Value

We begin to move away from ideas where we think truth-value is dependent upon selecting certain positive data. We no longer think that those positive data alone will have truth-value. We see that all data have truth-value and that the arrival of real truth and real knowledge isn’t only in positive data.

Within that Vast Open Intelligence

Within that vast open intelligence, everything is filled with data of all kinds—whatever kind you could imagine and whatever kind of information it could be formed into. Everything is comprised of data, and whether the data are junky or noisy or whether they are really incredible and wonderful, they have truth-value. They have truth-value because they exist in, of, as and through open intelligence.

An Ever-Expanding Intelligence

We realize that we are not a closed system; we realize that human intelligence is an ever-expanding intelligence, an inexhaustible expansive intelligent entity within a vast open intelligence.

Allow the Open Intelligence—the View—to Flourish Within the Data

We want to be running its indivisible power and its interoperability. In order to do that we need to use the means at our disposal: to no longer focus on the data, and instead to allow the open intelligence—the view—to flourish within the data. When we allow ourselves to flourish through a short moment, then we can’t help but continue to rest naturally, potently and powerfully.

The Openness of the Intelligence Itself

This is where we find it. We have basically spent our entire life focused on the data, and now what we want to be predominant in our space of intelligence is the openness of the intelligence itself. Its obvious presence is what we want to be running.

Our Profound Natural Human Intelligence

Again, our profound natural human intelligence is at the coincidence of open intelligence and data. Here we find something very, very interesting. We find that it is in the inseparability of open intelligence and data that there is open-ended knowledge creation and open-ended benefit creation.

We Rely on the Power of Great Benefit

We rely on the power of great benefit in short moments of open intelligence to allow things to open up and see everything as it is—to open up data and to see what’s really there. What we find is that we don’t find anything! When we leave the data point as it is, it opens up, and we find that it doesn’t have a nature independent of open intelligence.

Open Intelligence is Continuous

Open intelligence is continuous. Assurance in open intelligence dawns bright, like sunlight filling sky. There is direct crossing from data intelligence to vast open intelligence and its splendid array of spontaneous beneficial qualities and activities of mind, speech and body at all times.

Data Vanish Naturally, Without a Trace

As a datum appears, its instinctive open intelligence is allowed to be spontaneously obvious, empowering its benefit and placing its reified aspects in perspective. Data vanish naturally, without a trace, just as one part of clear sky seamlessly and indivisibly blends with all of sky.

Data are Clarified in and by Open Intelligence

Generally we sort all the information that is shining forth within our vast open intelligence into positive, negative or neutral data, and then with that data we decide to do one of four things: one, we can indulge the information, whatever it is; two, we can avoid it; three, we can replace it, or four, data are clarified in and by open intelligence, and open up as the power of great benefit.

At the Coincidence of Open Intelligence and Data

The creation of innovative knowledge—new knowledge creation, open-ended knowledge creation and open-ended benefit creation—is located at the coincidence of open intelligence and data.

Human Intelligence is an Open Intelligence

Human intelligence is an open intelligence. It isn’t a closed system of individuals; it’s an open networked intelligence of a collective. We see this open intelligence as expansive and direct in our own experience. It is a decisive experience that we have of this open intelligence.

The Most Fundamental Knowing Possible

Open intelligence is the most basic kind of knowing possible. It informs all knowledge whatsoever. It simply means the most fundamental knowing possible.

Built-in Ease of Everything As It Is

Open intelligence is instinctive intelligence, a comprehensive order of intelligence far beyond—many orders of magnitude greater than—the intelligence that most human beings use today. It is the built-in ease of everything as it is.

The Empowerment of All of Human Society

Balanced View is basically the empowerment of all of human society with open intelligence power. This requires specialized training, intelligence and perseverance as well as a profound connection with a potent trainer, community and training media through the Four Mainstays. The sum of this potent set of instruction in the Four Mainstays creates the opportunity to relax into the power of open intelligence and its beneficial qualities and activities.

The Four Mainstays Can Really Support Us

These Four Mainstays can really support us and all of humankind too. They are very simple and very straightforward—allowing human beings to be empowered; allowing human beings to be exalted like we really are; allowing us to use the incredible intelligence we actually have, rather than continuing to demean ourselves with all kinds of semantic descriptors that do not apply to what a human really is.

Rest Deeply in those Powers of Great Benefit

The direct user interface is simply to rest deeply in those powers of great benefit, to rely on short moments of open intelligence, repeated many times, until it becomes automatic, and to rely on the other of the Four Mainstays: the trainers, the training media and the community members of the worldwide movement.

A Worldwide Movement

In Balanced View we have a worldwide movement where people can learn about the power of open intelligence—the power of their own open intelligence to inform their mind, their speech, their body, their qualities and activities and that the way and means of doing that is very, very simple.

Relying on Open Intelligence

Relying on open intelligence and its powers of great benefit through the Four Mainstays is only the beginning of connection with fundamental reality, which is by nature beneficial. Thus the Four Mainstays lead, ultimately, to inexhaustible benefit.

Spontaneous Altruism

Anyone who takes a natural liking to open intelligence and undertakes its practice will obtain the most comprehensive order of intelligence, coupled with its inseparable companion—spontaneous altruism. Mind, speech, body, qualities and activities are pervaded by the ways and means of these indestructible spontaneously present attributes.

Open Source Intelligence

All data are the single expanse of open intelligence, vast and unending. Open source intelligence is naturally and vitally present, with data shining forth as its own dynamic energy, just as the sun shines forth sunlight.

Open Intelligence and Benefit

Exposure to open intelligence is inseparable from open intelligence and benefit. The inexhaustible totality of data constitutes an open source intelligence, an expanse of the most comprehensive order of intelligence indivisible from spontaneous altruism.

The Fundamental Basis

Open intelligence is reality itself and the knowledge that corresponds to that reality. Exposure to open intelligence results in the obviousness of it as the fundamental basis of our own intelligence.

Enjoy Open Intelligence for Short Moments

Rather than practicing open intelligence for long periods once or twice per day, it is better to enjoy spontaneous open intelligence for short moments throughout the day, repeated again and again.

We Rely on Short Moments Many Times

Because of the habit of emphasizing data, the initial brief moments of open intelligence may not last long at first. In other words, there may be no real continuity. Open intelligence may almost immediately slip away. That is why we rely on short moments, repeated many times, until it becomes automatic.

Emphasizing Data

Emphasizing data, while forgetting open intelligence, distracts us from open intelligence. When we do this, we feel we must control the kinds of data streams we have, and we spend much of our time trying to do so. This process is often stressful and confusing. It is always this emphasis on data that keeps us from relying on open intelligence.

The Dynamic Energy of Open Intelligence

Data are the dynamic energy of open intelligence. Using the term “data” to include everything and everyone makes it easier to understand how very great complexity comes out of great simplicity.

The Platform of Reality

Open intelligence is the platform of reality and of the entire universe and of everything we see and don’t see. “Data” is a term that includes everyone and everything—everything that everyone knows, thinks, does, feels, senses and experiences.
