Its Benefits are Obvious

From the first moment of relief in the introduction to open intelligence, its benefits are obvious. By the very simple yet radical process of training in open intelligence, its inexhaustible powers of benefit become increasingly evident throughout our lifespan.

Open Intelligence is Free in its Natural Perfection

By the power of open intelligence, the burden of changing the flow of data is relieved and natural perfection is instinctively recognized. Open intelligence is free in its natural perfection.

True Confidence

True confidence is instinctive realization of openhearted open intelligence—knowing how to rely on open intelligence in any data stream. By the power of open intelligence, we are no longer afraid of ourselves. This is similar to spontaneously allowing a heavy load to fall to the ground.

Everything is Simple—More Simple than Simple

No matter what datum occurs, there is nothing for it to achieve. It cannot cause any harm, because its essence is immediately recognized as being open intelligence. It resolves spontaneously, with nothing needing to be done. There is complete ease, alertness, insight, openheartedness and clarity in whatever happens. Everything is simple—more simple than simple.

There is Ease Without Indulging, Rejecting or Replacing

In any context in which data appear, do not try to alter the experience in any way. With this, there is ease without indulging, rejecting or replacing any thought, emotion, sensation or other experience. There is no getting into wanting positive data, no investing in wanting to improve data in any way, nor in fearing the worsening of negative data.

A Short Moment of Open Intelligence is Complete

A short moment of open intelligence is complete. It is free from involvement in hope and fear, ups and downs and any other extremes of data.

The Four Mainstays are the Support

Open intelligence is always-on in all data. Right now, look to your own experience to see if it is like that or not. The Four Mainstays are the support.

Short Moments, Many Times, Become Continuous

Short moments, many times, become continuous. This exceptionally potent method grants access to a powerful intelligence that is not noticed when there is emphasis on descriptions or data. So continue to take short moments of open intelligence, leaving everything as it is, whenever you remember to do so, until open intelligence is continuous at all times.

The Very First Moment of Open Intelligence

The very first moment of open intelligence already has within it the result of complete relief, mental and emotional stability, insight, complete well-being, self-benefit and the benefit of all. By repeatedly relying on open intelligence, it becomes obvious. 

To Rely on Open Intelligence

The first time the choice is made to rely on open intelligence rather than emphasizing data, there is a sense of the great power of complete relief to be found in open intelligence. The flow of data is not altered. Everything is left simply as it is. By the power of open intelligence, open intelligence becomes increasingly obvious.

Moment-to-Moment Open Intelligence

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

Gaining Confidence in Open Intelligence

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 stability. It may almost immediately slip away. This is perfectly fine. That is why short moments are relied on, many times, until open intelligence becomes continuous. This is the key point in gaining confidence in open intelligence.

Open Intelligence Power is Prioritized

How are data outshone in open intelligence? A short moment of open intelligence reveals that the current data stream appears in open intelligence and spontaneously self-releases, then another datum appears and self-releases. By letting the data stream flow on by, open intelligence power is prioritized.

Outshone by Open Intelligence

There are only four means of relating to data streams: indulge them, avoid them, replace them or clarify them. Only by the power of clarification of data are they outshone by open intelligence. 

Open Like a Clear Sky

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

Open Intelligence, Relaxed and Enormously Potent

It makes no difference what data streams arise. In open intelligence, they vanish naturally, leaving no trace, like a line drawn in the sky. Open intelligence, 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 open intelligence, these become increasingly evident.

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 Sunlight Pervading Space

Data within open intelligence are like sunlight pervading space. Similarly sunlight and space are inseparable.

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.
