Everyday Clarity: A Daily Reader

Self-Release of the Here-and-Now

2012-01-31T00:58:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-30T01:47:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-29T00:27:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-28T00:26:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-27T23:22:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-26T00:56:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-25T00:07:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-24T00:06:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-23T00:40:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-22T01:38:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-21T00:02:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-20T05:18:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-19T14:30:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-18T00:37:00.001-08:00

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

2012-01-17T09:14:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-16T02:26:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-15T00:55:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-14T01:56:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-13T01:26:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-12T01:38:00.001-08:00

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

2012-01-11T00:05:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-10T00:52:00.001-08:00

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

2012-01-09T03:10:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-08T03:36:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-07T00:05:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-06T12:54:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-05T01:15:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-04T01:18:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-03T04:40:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-02T01:43:00.000-08:00

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

2012-01-01T03:52:00.000-08:00

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.

Exalted by Open Intelligence

2011-12-31T00:08:00.000-08:00

Every single area of human knowledge is exalted by open intelligence. We’re able to see things that have never been done before but which can be done, and we’re able to know what has never been known before. It is so self-affirming when we see these things actually happening in ourselves.

Open Intelligence as Its Foundation

2011-12-30T07:41:00.000-08:00

Our own intelligence has open intelligence as its foundation, and this open intelligence supersedes with a new intelligence the kind of intelligence we are currently utilizing

The Most Comprehensive Level of Intelligence

2011-12-29T00:11:00.000-08:00

Open intelligence is the most comprehensive level of intelligence and of reality, and open intelligence aligns us with fundamental reality. Everything about a human is based in this open intelligence reality itself.

Inseparable From Open Intelligence

2011-12-28T11:40:00.000-08:00

Just as space and a rainbow are inseparable, thoughts, emotions, sensations and other experiences are inseparable from open intelligence.

Alert Open Intelligence

2011-12-27T12:15:00.000-08:00

Just as a rainbow appears within space, all cognitive, sensory and emotional events—thoughts, emotions, sensations and other experiences—appear within alert open intelligence.

A Wide and Balanced Perspective

2011-12-26T00:15:00.000-08:00

By relying on open intelligence for short moments, we are trained up to use open intelligence as our basis, rather than to rely only on thinking or not thinking. Relying on open intelligence opens up a wide and balanced perspective within human intelligence.

A More Comprehensive Type of Intelligence

2011-12-25T00:09:00.000-08:00

The next statement is a very crucial key point: The state of having no thoughts is fueled by open intelligence, and thoughts are fueled by open intelligence too. Open intelligence is in no thoughts as well as in thoughts.

Open Like a Cloudless Sky

2011-12-24T14:58:00.001-08:00

To introduce open intelligence very directly, stop thinking—just for a moment. What remains? A sense of alertness and open intelligence remains—powerful open intelligence and alertness that is open like a cloudless sky.

What is a Short Moment of Open Intelligence?

2011-12-23T03:51:00.000-08:00

What is a short moment of open intelligence? It is powerful open intelligence, regardless of circumstances.

Open Intelligence Assurance

2011-12-22T01:09:00.000-08:00

Now we see that it is possible to gain open intelligence assurance and to rely on its inherent wisdom, love and happiness, rather than relying on data.

Balanced View´s Four Mainstays

2011-12-21T00:20:00.000-08:00

When confidence is inspired by Balanced View’s Four Mainstays—1) short moments of open intelligence, 2) the trainer, 3) the training, and 4) the worldwide community—there is increasing instinctive recognition of openhearted open intelligence until it is continuous at all times. Then there is no longer the possibility of being fooled by appearances of data, not during life and not upon death.

Available 24 Hours a Day

2011-12-20T03:32:00.000-08:00

The support network of Balanced View—the Four Mainstays—is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for everyone interested in gaining confidence in open intelligence.

Demonstrating its Power Together

2011-12-19T01:28:00.000-08:00

With ease of transportation, the internet and telecommunications available today, this is the first time in history that everyone can know this in their own direct experience, and we are demonstrating its power, together.

We as a Global Human Culture

2011-12-17T22:05:00.000-08:00

When we look at the results of short moments of unending open intelligence, we find that they are very powerful indeed. We as a global human culture have tapped into a form of knowledge that can give us complete mental and emotional stability, insight, compassion, natural ethics and beneficial skillfulness in all situations.

Natural and Spontaneous

2011-12-16T23:02:00.000-08:00

By the power of open intelligence, we become natural and spontaneous. We relate with warmth and directness, and reveal our true potential to be of incredible benefit to ourselves and others without any contrivance.

Spaciousness of Mind

2011-12-15T22:28:00.000-08:00

This is powerful open intelligence that has nothing to guard or defend. The natural ease of open intelligence is wide open in all data. It is absolute simplicity and spaciousness of mind.

Simply Found in Our Own Direct Experience

2011-12-14T22:27:00.000-08:00

If the recognition of open intelligence slips away, it is simply repeated again. Short moments, repeated many times, acknowledge instinctive recognition of open intelligence. It is simply found in our own direct experience.

There is Relief from the Focus on Data

2011-12-13T01:38:00.001-08:00

By the power of short moments of open intelligence, many times, it becomes continuous. There is relief from the focus on data. When short moments of open intelligence are repeated many times, open intelligence is recognized to be continuous and uninterrupted. It is found to be stable in itself.

In the Balanced View of Open Intelligence

2011-12-12T09:43:00.000-08:00

There is a powerful opening of skillful means and profound insight in the balanced view of open intelligence. This greatly beneficial power has a naturally occurring morality and ethics that are of benefit to all. The power of insight and skillful means in all situations comes about by relying on potent open intelligence, rather than getting involved in data.

Relying on Open Intelligence

2011-12-11T12:52:00.000-08:00

Relying on open intelligence leads to complete mental and emotional stability and emphasizing data leads to confusion and tension. Instinctive recognition of open intelligence elicits inherent stability, peace, love, happiness and natural warmth.

True, Uncontrived Identity

2011-12-10T23:40:00.000-08:00

A tightly constructed personal identity is built by accumulating data. True, uncontrived identity is discovered in open intelligence and its natural and useful way of being.

All Data have their Source in Open Intelligence

2011-12-09T05:39:00.000-08:00

When data are emphasized, it is assumed that they have a power of their own. To instinctively recognize open intelligence is to know that all data has its only origin in open intelligence. All data have their source in open intelligence and no datum can be found to have an independent nature.

Open Intelligence is Clarifying and Empowering

2011-12-08T00:28:00.001-08:00

Well-being comes from short moments of open intelligence rather than from trying to regulate data. Simple, straightforward open intelligence is clarifying and empowering. It exhausts harmful psychological and behavioral patterns and simultaneously perfects beneficial qualities and actions.

A Balanced View and Open Intelligence

2011-12-07T00:21:00.000-08:00

Open intelligence is not a way of avoiding everyday life. It is a way to fully embrace all of life from the vantage of a balanced view and open intelligence.

Due to the Power of Open Intelligence

2011-12-06T10:42:00.000-08:00

Compassion and the ability to act skillfully in all situations occurs easily due to the power of open intelligence.

Well-being in Every Moment, with no Ups and Downs

2011-12-05T01:09:00.000-08:00

In realizing the inseparability of open intelligence and data, confidence is gained. Being unafraid of data is a sign of confidence in open intelligence. It is caring deeply about life and about our effect on the world. Moreover, it means mental and emotional stability and well-being in every moment, with no ups and downs.

Relax. Just relax; that’s all

2011-12-04T01:09:00.001-08:00

There is no need to find open intelligence. Relax. Just relax; that’s all.
Open intelligence will naturally become increasingly obvious.

Simply Enjoy Open Intelligence

2011-12-03T01:00:00.000-08:00

There is no need to look for open intelligence, which is naturally present at all times. There is no need to ask, “Where is it?” “Is it there or not?”. Simply enjoy open intelligence and its natural process of becoming continuous through short moments.

Open Intelligence is the Indestructible Essence

2011-12-02T00:46:00.001-08:00

In open intelligence, the obviousness of clarity and the joy of certainty become evident as our natural state. This is the joy of knowing that open intelligence is the indestructible essence of all experience.

Open Intelligence has Natural Clarity at all Times

2011-12-01T01:48:00.000-08:00

Open intelligence has natural clarity at all times, like the brilliant light that fills a clear sky at high noon. It has this clarity naturally. We don’t need anything for that clarity to be; it is just naturally arising, naturally present. It doesn’t depend on anything.

There is no Need to Save or Delete Data

2011-11-30T11:12:00.000-08:00

There is no need to save or delete data. Everything happens very simply. Since there is no need to change the flow of experience in a short moment of open intelligence, antidotes and remedies come to a complete stop.

Open Intelligence is In Harmony with Data

2011-11-29T00:42:00.000-08:00

Open intelligence is in harmony with all emotions, thoughts and experiences (data). There is no fighting with data anymore. This is the best well-being. Open, spacious open intelligence naturally allows data to be as it is.

This is how Easy Open Intelligence is

2011-11-28T01:40:00.000-08:00

By repeating it again and again, it is recognized that it is always present. Open intelligence is naturally present whether there is distraction or not. This is how easy open intelligence is!

This is a Moment of Open Intelligence

2011-11-27T02:52:00.000-08:00

If there is a moment of open intelligence or not, it's fine. If there is complete distraction by thoughts, that’s fine. If there is distraction, simply relax in a natural way as soon as it is noticed that there is distraction. This is a short moment of open intelligence.

It is the Easy Way to Live

2011-11-26T00:44:00.000-08:00

By the power of a short moment of open intelligence, repeated many times, it becomes impossible to be derailed by disturbing emotions. Instead, you remain as you are—stable, clear and at ease. It is the easy way to live. Unchanging open intelligence is your vantage.

Open Intelligence is Free in its Natural Perfection

2011-11-25T01:04:00.001-08:00

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

2011-11-24T00:32:00.000-08:00

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

2011-11-23T01:08:00.000-08:00

There is complete ease, alertness, clarity, insight and openheartedness in whatever happens. Everything is simple—more simple than simple.

It Resolves Spontaneously

2011-11-22T00:43:00.001-08:00

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. No matter what data 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.

Ease without Indulging, Rejecting or Replacing

2011-11-21T00:06:00.000-08:00

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.

A Short Moment of Open Intelligence is Complete

2011-11-20T00:49:00.000-08:00

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

The Most Powerful Force on Earth

2011-11-19T01:08:00.000-08:00

Short moments of open intelligence: this is a very practical approach.
Never underestimate the power of this simple practice. It is the most powerful force on Earth.

Open intelligence is Self-Affirming

2011-11-18T01:49:00.001-08:00

Open intelligence is predominant in the natural flow of all data, day and night. Open intelligence is self-affirming. In short moments of open intelligence, we reinforce open intelligence in all our experience. We begin to gain confidence in open intelligence for self-benefit, and eventually that inspires us to be of benefit to all.

Open Intelligence is Self-Sustained.

2011-11-17T01:42:00.000-08:00

The more we have confidence in open intelligence, the less we need to deliberately rely on short moments and the easier it becomes to recognize that open intelligence is self-sustained.

Gaining Confidence in Always On Open Intelligence

2011-11-16T09:21:00.000-08:00

We need to simply allow a moment of the uncontrived naturalness of open intelligence. Instead of focusing upon it, it is simply allowed to naturally be as it is. It is a matter of gaining confidence in always-on open intelligence.

Everything Rests in Natural Perfection

2011-11-15T00:57:00.000-08:00

If we have positive data, that’s fine. If we have negative data, that’s fine. There is no need to control the natural flow of data. Place the emphasis on open intelligence—that’s all. Thoughts, emotions and sensations just flow along doing whatever they do. This is the key point. Everything rests in natural perfection. Leave it as it is.

We Keep it Simple: Short moments, Many Times

2011-11-14T00:29:00.000-08:00

Short moments, repeated again and again, do become automatic. Unending open intelligence becomes increasingly obvious until it is evident at all times. By putting this into practice, we attain deep confidence in the power of short moments to bring benefit to our lives. We keep it simple: Short moments, many times.

Leaving Everything Just as it is

2011-11-12T03:48:00.000-08:00

Repeatedly allow short moments of open intelligence, leaving everything just as it is. Short moments of open intelligence increasingly open up the balanced view and insight of open intelligence.

Open Intelligence is Automatically Enlivened

2011-11-11T00:30:00.000-08:00

Due to the potent benefit we find in short moments, we naturally commit to open intelligence. Open intelligence is automatically enlivened in all our daily activity due to our growing familiarization and confidence. By getting accustomed to this, our recognition of open intelligence becomes stable and automatic.

Relaxed Open intelligence

2011-11-10T10:53:00.001-08:00

Relaxed open intelligence can be recognized in any circumstance—walking, running, working, thinking, parenting, studying, eating, making love and all daily activities.

We are Completely Relaxed

2011-11-09T00:07:00.001-08:00

Enjoying short moments of open intelligence is like finishing a hard day’s work or relaxing after a warm and soothing bath. We are completely relaxed with nothing more to do.

Open Intelligence is Always Already Present

2011-11-08T03:38:00.000-08:00

Briefly acknowledge open intelligence, again and again, and it becomes obvious all of the time. We can enjoy crystal clear open intelligence because open intelligence is always already present. We don’t have to find it. That is why we can always rely on open intelligence

We Already are Clear

2011-11-07T00:24:00.000-08:00

Open intelligence is already naturally present. It is not that we don't have it and hope to get it at some point in the future. We already are clear.

Leaving Everything As It Is

2011-11-06T08:28:00.000-08:00

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 empowering 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

2011-11-05T21:34:00.000-07:00

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 automatic.

Persisting in This One Simple Choice

2011-11-04T01:23:00.000-07:00

By persisting in this one simple choice, benefits are seen from the outset. 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.

Complete Relief

2011-11-03T01:52:00.000-07:00

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 Most Important Choice We Make

2011-11-02T01:24:00.000-07:00

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