Unity

It is your very own innate clarity that is the glue that binds all experience in a basic state of relaxed openness. When we recognise this then we recognise the already unified nature of all phenomena. This recognition must begin with all of our own thoughts, emotions, sensations and other experiences. Simply notice, for short moments, that the clarity that is reading these words is the same clarity that is present each and every time you check. From this most basic of knowledge great wisdom and the ability to be of real benefit in the world naturally arise.

Where ever you go

Where ever you go, that is where you will find awareness, shining brightly.

I am in Delhi at the moment and it is only through the clarity of awareness that any sensation is experienced. Here with the colour, sounds and smells of a busy Indian city the magnificence and variety of this incredible display is blazingly obvious.

Free flowing

The free flowing display of phenomena is revealed in all its wonder when we recognise that everything rests equally in a basic state. We see through all conventional descriptive frameworks to the essence of each perception in the direct encounter with whatever is appearing. Simply recognise perceptual openness in all situations.

Saturday 27 March 2010

Unconditional

The brilliant light of your own innate clarity illuminates all experience. It does not depend on any cause or condition, rather all causes and conditions are dependent upon luminous clarity to be known. Relax and simply recognise what is already the case.

Friday 26 March 2010

Easy

Relying on the brilliant clarity of awareness makes life easy. We are able to make decisions that are naturally inclusive and of immediate benefit to ourselves and everyone else. We are no longer continually criticising, judging and blaming but instead have a clear understanding of exactly what the nature of experience really is. We can enjoy the openness of the pure view of innate clarity in every moment and this is also easy when we rely on the stable support of the Four Comforts.

Wednesday 24 March 2010

Light hearted

From the balanced view of awareness we can approach life in a light hearted way. All situations are seen to be nothing but wonderful opportunities to recognise their essence of open clarity. We are no longer obsessively wrapped up in all out stories about any one fleeting appearance but instead can enjoy the broadest of all possible perspectives. When we clearly seeing everything just as it is then we are empowered to act with skill and keen insight in all circumstances.

Tuesday 23 March 2010

Enjoy

Enjoy a short moment of the clarity of awareness. Right now, with whatever your present moment point of view is, relax and recognise spacious awareness. Nothing is required.

Monday 22 March 2010

Insight

When we relax for a short moment and allow the flow of perceptions to be whatever it is then we have keen insight into the fundamental nature of our experience. Each perception spontaneously appearing and resolving in the basic space of pristine clarity, like a rainbow appearing in the vast expanse of sky.

Sunday 21 March 2010

Context

When we simply acknowledge that there is a basic state within which all phenomena arise then we have the ultimate context for all of our experience. Without this most basic of knowledge we are lost in a maze of confused attempts to make sense of what is going on. At best the understanding we have without this recognition will be incomplete as it ignores what is most fundamental.

Saturday 20 March 2010

Simplicity

The total simplicity of everything is revealed in a short moment of relaxed openness. Nowhere to get to other than where we are right now. No one to be other than exactly who we are in this moment. Pure seeing with nothing contrived, the complete enjoyment of everything, just as it is.

Friday 19 March 2010

Crystal clear

The crystal clear, pristine nature of awareness is never affected by any appearance. Just pause your current description of what is going on for a short moment and recognise the innate clarity.

Thursday 18 March 2010

Natural presence

Relax, simply allow a short moment of openness. Nothing needs to be worked out or analysed. Just acknowledge the natural presence of clarity.

Wednesday 17 March 2010

Endless Clarity

Endless clarity, wide-open like the sky. Shining brilliantly like the sun.

Tuesday 16 March 2010

Nothing to contrive

Finally we can stop pretending. We can let go of all the contrived ways of behaving and all the stack of expectations that we have forever been trying to live up to. In a short moment of clarity we can simply accept ourselves exactly as we are. Nothing needing to be fixed, changed or altered in anyway. Just the brilliant shine of innate clarity lighting up every experience with the glow of natural perfection.

Monday 15 March 2010

Natural condition

Our natural condition is relaxed and open. This simply goes unnoticed when we are obsessively focused on trying to reify all of our experience. By analysing, comparing, talking about and describing our experience we attempt to give it an independent identity. We never actually succeed and there is a nagging sense of something not being quite right when this is how we approach life. When we simply relax as the already unified field of clear awareness then all this futile activity comes to an end and we recognise the true nature of all our experience.

Sunday 14 March 2010

Right now

Right now we have the opportunity to recognise the brilliant light of our innate clarity that illuminates all experience from within. When we stop emphasising all of the descriptive frameworks and relax for a brief moment the natural presence of clarity is obvious. Wide-open, flawless and dynamically responsive to whatever is required in each moment.

Friday 12 March 2010

Action

From the balanced view of clarity our actions become highly effective and of immediate benefit. We are no longer limited by having to adopt any rigid position and can respond with openness, flexibility and laser-like precision to exactly what is required in any moment. We are free to contribute all of our innate talents to the betterment of all.

Thursday 11 March 2010

Clarity

We all possess the capacity to become familiar with our own innate clarity. When we rely on the brilliant intelligence of clarity we far more effective at whatever we are doing. We have the balanced view to make clear decisions that are of immediate benefit to all concerned.

Wednesday 10 March 2010

Awareness

Awareness is always to be found in the present moment perception. It is not some far off event that might happen in the future but is the fundamental essence of every perception, without exception.

Tuesday 9 March 2010

Wonder

In a short moment of relaxing and allowing everything to be just as it is we experience the wonder of being alive. The innocent way of looking that we had as a child is still the case, we just began to take all of our descriptive frameworks a little too seriously. We began to believe that the descriptions really could affect our fundamental nature, sky-like awareness.

Monday 8 March 2010

Basic Knowledge

Without recognising that there is a basic state that underpins all of our experience we have no way to make sense of life. If all we are doing is comparing one concept with another, endlessly analysing every experience or looking for well-being in a certain set of circumstances then we are ignoring what is most fundamental. In a short moment of relaxed openness this basic state is obvious.

Sunday 7 March 2010

Basic State

The fundamental nature of all experience is wide-open and relaxed. All descriptive frameworks are subsumed within the comprehensive order of the basic state and rest naturally in it. Each perception equal in its inseparability from this most essential of categories.

Saturday 6 March 2010

Natural Confidence

There is natural confidence when we know that we can always rely on the open intelligence of awareness in all situations. We develop this confidence by taking short moments of the instinctive recognition of awareness whenever we naturally remember. In this way we effortlessly become certain that awareness is completely reliable, stable and immediately responsive to whatever is required in any moment.

Friday 5 March 2010

True Freedom

True freedom is being at ease with whatever occurs. The only way that this can come about is by grounding ourselves in the basic state of our existence. Life is completely unpredictable and it is only when we recognise the stability of awareness for short moments that we discover the wide-open ease that is at the root of every perception.

Thursday 4 March 2010

Super complete

This moment, right now, is already super complete. It doesn't need anything adding or anything taking away to make this so. In every short moment of allow the flow of perceptions to be whatever they are this is obvious in our own direct experience. As long as we are compulsively hoping that things will be somehow different this natural perfection will not be noticed.

Wednesday 3 March 2010

Simple Choice

It is only when we make the simple choice of whether we are going to focus solely on the myriad of descriptive frameworks or the innate clarity that permeates and contains them all that we discover how perfect we already are. As long as our sole focus is on all of the labels and concepts that we have used to try and make sense of our experience there can be no recognition of natural perfection. From the narrow perspective of descriptions and ideas we can never have a truly balanced view, a view that effortlessly encompasses all descriptive frameworks but is not limited or constrained by any of them.

Tuesday 2 March 2010

Everyday

Your own everyday experience of life is where you have the amazing opportunity to become familiar with the clarity of awareness. You don't need a special set of circumstances or a special set of thoughts or even particular emotions to gain confidence in your own innate wisdom and ease. Your life, exactly as it is, provides you with the perfect set of points of view to recognise clarity.
