Spontaneous Benefit

Spontaneous benefit is real compassion, deep care right now. Inseparable from open intelligence, spontaneous benefit is the natural reality for human beings and requires no cultivation of compassion. Real compassion is immediate and rooted in the here-and-now.

Data are Inseparable From Open Intelligence

Like the color blue is inseparable from the sky, data are inseparable from open intelligence. We come to realize that no datum has an origin independent of open intelligence.

Like the Flight Path of a Bird in the Sky

All data appear and vanish naturally, like the flight path of a bird in the sky. “Data” is anything that occurs within the all-encompassing view of open intelligence. It can be thoughts, emotions, sensations or other experiences related to inner or outer events. Data within open intelligence are like sunlight pervading space. Similarly sunlight and space are inseparable.

Open Like a Cloudless Sky

This is what open intelligence is: luminous clarity and alertness that is open like a cloudless sky. Open intelligence is present in not thinking, non-conceptual states, as well as in thinking.

What is a Short Moment of Open Intelligence?

What is a short moment of open intelligence? To know the answer to that question, stop thinking—just for a moment. What remains? A sense of alertness and clarity remains.

Spontaneous Dedication to the Benefit of All

Open intelligence is spontaneous dedication to the benefit of all with deep care for everyone and everything. Life-satisfaction, flourishing and generosity spring from within open intelligence. At last, human beings recognize reality and thrive!

A Vast Treasure of Benefit

Open intelligence illuminates a vast treasure of benefit within humankind. It provides the greatest of  riches. The treasure is contained in the phrase “short moments of open intelligence, repeated many    times, become continuous.” This simple statement actually has the great power to bring about openhearted benefit, cooperation and peace within global human culture.

The Basic Space of Open Intelligence

When we investigate data, which seemed so real, they are no more substantial than a rainbow, air or flying through space in last night’s dream. All are vivid appearances of the basic space of open intelligence.

Open Intelligence

Open intelligence spontaneously increases moment to moment. Inexhaustible, in open intelligence there is no destination we need to get to in order to feel alright.

We Take Full Responsibility for Open Intelligence

By relying on open intelligence, there is no longer the impulse to blame people, places and things for our lack of life satisfaction and flourishing. We take full responsibility for open intelligence.

The Era of Great Benefit

We see directly and clearly that data have no independent nature and we have been thinking and acting like it does. This recognition unleashes open intelligence and beneficial power. We come together as an openly intelligent human society engaging in the Era of Great Benefit.

The Nature of all Data

It is seen that open intelligence is a much easier and solution-oriented way to live, rather than constantly sorting data in order to assemble well-being. It becomes increasingly certain to us that open intelligence is the nature of all data.

The Benefit of All

Open intelligence’s spontaneous altruism has natural concern for the benefit of all and that is its entire motivation and inspiration.

The Great Juncture

In instinctive recognition of open intelligence’s great juncture with all data, we instantaneously slip out of self-concern and into the all-inclusive mind, speech, body, qualities and activities of open intelligence.

The Reality of Open Intelligence

The reality of open intelligence is the only reality there is. It is a reality which is beneficial, all-pervasive, inexhaustibly auspicious, a treasury of beneficial qualities and activities always at the ready `

A New Life

We begin to realize that data do not exist independently. Once we understand that, it is easier to let data flow on by, simply extracting their power and beneficial energy to vastly broaden our perspective and contributions, giving us a new life.

The Natural Presence of Open Intelligence

In one instant of open intelligence, datum is recognized as the natural presence of open intelligence. An instant of open intelligence clarifies countless data. We rely on open intelligence for short moments, repeated many times, until it becomes continuous.

Choosing the Four Mainstays

Choosing the Four Mainstays rather than completely outmoded reification of life’s treasury relieves us of mistrust and offers us openheartedness and real concern for everyone.

The Most Comprehensive Order of Intelligence

By the power of relying on short moments we gain complete confidence in this most comprehensive order of intelligence. Open intelligence has a powerful intelligence that is unavailable when we are trying to regulate the flow of data.

Open Intelligence

We become increasingly clear that data do not have a nature independent of open intelligence.

Open intelligence becomes more predominant than data. We see that open intelligence has been here all along, we just hadn’t noticed it.

Vast Power

We find that our own data streams flow on by due to a vast power and an intelligence we never dreamt possible. Our mind opens up beyond the limitations of viewing our intelligence as a closed system within a suit of skin.

Power to be of Benefit

We begin to deeply recognize the inseparability of allowing our own data streams to be exactly as they are—we realize the power to be of great benefit.

Resource of Beneficial Power

The key to unlocking the vast resource of beneficial power is in seeing our own data streams exactly as they are.

Vast Open Intelligence

By the power of relying on the Four Mainstays, we find that a balanced view and spontaneous altruism begin to flow freely and enhance our contribution to our family, community and world. Our perspective opens up to the vast open intelligence shining within all data.

Profound Openness

It makes no difference what perceptions arise. In open intelligence, it is impossible for there not to be a profound openness in which perceptions vanish naturally, leaving no trace, like ripples disappearing in water.

Indestructible Open Intelligence Support Network

Reliance on the Four Mainstays is to join in the indestructible open intelligence support network. As confidence deepens in the Four Mainstays—short moments of open intelligence, the trainer, the training and the community—the assurance of open intelligence becomes obvious.

Powerful Benefit

The first time we make the choice to rely on open intelligence rather than emphasizing data, we sense the powerful benefit to be found in open intelligence

Rest Deeply in the Powers of Great Benefit

We rest free and relaxed. We rest deeply in the powers of great benefit. We let open intelligence rest naturally, potent and free from the need to control the flow of data.

Experience of Open Intelligence at All Times

We commit to the uninterrupted experience of open intelligence at all times, whether walking, moving around, lying down, working, playing or sitting. This is true open intelligence—the stability of open intelligence that pervades ordinary life.

Spontaneous Open Intelligence

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.

Emphasizing Open Intelligence

We simply rely on short moments of open intelligence, repeated many times, until it becomes automatic. The moment will grow longer and more obvious on its own. It is a matter of emphasizing open intelligence rather than emphasizing data.
