Instinctive

To recognise that the clarity of awareness effortlessly permeates every perception is an instinctive recognition. It is instinctive because it does not require intellectual speculation to be recognised. Awareness is the space of all thoughts and experience but is not affected by any of them. Trying to think ourselves in to a recognition of awareness can be frustrating as we are trying to form a concept about that which contains all concepts, the way that space effortlessly contains all objects within it.
