Instinctive Recognition

2011-09-05T02:18:00.000-07:00

The recognition of the open intelligence that is the basis of all of our experience is instinctive. It is already the case and in a short moment of relaxing the focus on all of the descriptions we simply allow ourselves to notice this is actually so.

"Instinctive", means that no intellectual analysis is required for this most fundamental of all realisations, which is good news as we can stop trying to work out what is inconceivable and instead settle into and demonstrate its powers of great benefit. Emphasising concepts and ideas about open intelligence is simply another form of reificiation.

Community

2011-09-02T16:16:00.000-07:00

It is so inspiring to spend time with other people relying on OI, it just makes being together so easy and so much fun. It is incredible to watch communities of open minded people springing up all around the world and to see the growing stability of everyone involved is completely convincing. The efficacy of the Four Mainstays of Balanced View is evidenced in thousands and thousands of people who are discovering and displaying open-hearted relating. I feel so lucky to be part of this radical movement for world peace.

Taking it all the way

2011-08-29T12:07:00.000-07:00

To begin to recognise the inseparable nature of everything from the basic state of open intelligence is always very powerful and liberating. To discover complete mental and emotional stability is an incredible gift that allows for an ease and warmth of relating that most of us had no idea was even possible. The insights into the nature of our experience that begin to appear can be quite incredible from this vantage of relaxed potency. However, this is just the beginning.

If you really want to see just how incredible you have always been and to really apply your capacity to bring innovative solutions that are of benefit to all then this is where the Four Mainstays of Balanced View really come into their own. Blow open all assumptions and conventions both those you can see for yourself and those that it may be harder to recognise without support. Do not settle for anything less than the complete integration of open intelligence and its powers of great benefit into every aspect of your life.

Potent humility

2011-08-16T00:16:00.000-07:00

What a joy to discover that there is nothing to defend and nothing to prove. In the recognition of open intelligence as our true identity there is a natural humility that is incredibly potent. Gratitude, appreciation and dynamic responsiveness replace the out-dated judgement, criticism and blame that have become the conventional way of life. Thank you Balanced View !

Responsibility

2011-08-15T16:35:00.000-07:00

What a relief to be able to take responsibility for the way that we are in the world. How empowering to be able to set an example of peaceful ease in all circumstances. To allow ourselves to feel everything fully and not to flinch in the face of the unpredictable flow of data but instead to remain steadfast in the open intelligence that is the foundation of all experience.

This is obviously so incredibly important at this time in human history. We see all around us the results of the knee-jerk reaction of people to what is happening both with their own thoughts, emotions and sensations and to the events in society and the wider environment. The culture of judgement, criticism and blame that is still prevalent never leads anywhere other than more judgement, criticism and blame. By clearly seeing that you have never actually been a victim to any of this data you take a stand for what it really means to be human and demonstrate the capacity that we all have to relate with openness and understanding and to bring a solution oriented approach to all aspects of life.

This is the most radical, revolutionary and beneficial step you can ever take and the Balanced View global community is here to support you in every way. Blow open all the conventional assumptions of what it means to be human and what human society is intended to be. It's time to get real!

True Freedom

2011-08-10T01:04:00.000-07:00

True freedom is the capacity to tap into our ability to bring open-hearted solutions, that are of benefit to all, in any situation. True freedom is the demonstration of relaxed potency and the innate skilfulness that is its hallmark. True freedom is the ability to relate with warmth, ease and understanding whilst making clear powerful decisions that have a direct impact on the well-being of society.

If true freedom is something you are interested in the please visit Balanced View and discover just how incredible you have always been.

Evaluating Information

2011-08-02T01:35:00.000-07:00

There is a massive amount of information about all kinds of things available via the internet and other media. What is essential when evaluating this information is basic discernment. Look at the effects of this information on the groups that are sharing it. Instead of deciding whether you like the sound of something that is shared, actually look at the results it produces in those that hear it.

You might ask yourself questions like:

Does this information empower people to take responsibility for their actions?

Does this information encourage active participation in building a society that is based on mutual respect and understanding?

Does this information provide clear instructions for how you can recognise your ability to contribute your incredible strengths, gifts and talents for the benefit of all?

Are the people who are sharing this information actually demonstrating these activities and qualities in all aspects of life?

Does this information include a reliable support network that allows for these important steps to be integrated into your everyday life?

If you cannot clearly answer "yes" to all of these questions then keep looking until you do find an information source that does satisfy these essential requirements.

Strange behaviour

2011-07-05T03:32:00.001-07:00

How very strange to not take advantage of the comprehensive support that is offered by Balanced View if you really are serious about training up in open intelligence. http://www.balancedview.org/ offers a complete support package for you to really take this innovative approach to life all the way.

Nothing is required

2011-06-28T09:58:00.001-07:00

Nothing is required for you to recognise yourself as you actually are, a wide-open intelligence that is always clear and immediately accessible. Just stop thinking for an instant and recognise that something has been constant throughout all of your experience. What is looking has always been exactly the same.

By simply repeating this instinctive recognition then we discover the stable essence of our experience is completely reliable and at ease regardless of the description that spontaneously appears. This open intelligence is the source of ultimate well-being that does not depend on trying to achieve a certain set of descriptions or circumstances and does not require any thinking or reflection to be recognised.

One short moment at a time.

Compassion

2011-06-18T00:09:00.000-07:00

Attempts to cultivate compassion are always frustrating and a struggle. We try to be good and to help others but are often so consumed by all our thoughts and emotions about what we are doing and what other people are thinking that it seems impossible to know what will be really effective.

From the vantage of open intelligence, that is the basis of all our thoughts, sensations and emotions, we see everything clearly, exactly as it is. By gaining confidence that this is the basis of all our experience and the reliable ground through which everything is known then we tap into an amazing source of natural compassion and spontaneous ethics. We discover in our own experience the glue that effortlessly unites everything in its warm embrace and are able to act skilfully in all situations with dignity and openness.

To gain confidence in this, the practice of taking short moments of allowing all of the data to be just as they are and to begin to emphasise the natural presence of open intelligence, is incredibly supportive and convincing. The Balanced View is a grass-roots movement of people from all around the world that are committed to challenging all of the conventional assumptions about what it means to be human and what the basis of all relating actually is.

With the free support network that is offered gaining confidence in open intelligence becomes easy. Relating is based on the mutual respect and gratitude that is inherent in each uncontrived short moment and the compassion that seemed so elusive is found to be spontaneously present. We discover that altruism is the natural state of all humans and gaining confidence in open intelligence allows us to experience this directly for ourselves in everyday life.

What a marvel this is!

Training up Open Intelligence

2011-05-22T14:24:00.000-07:00

Balanced View's Four Mainstays offer a mutual support network for anyone that is interested in training up Open Intelligence. With clear, simple instructions that will always completely support and encourage you in going beyond all of your learned assumptions about exactly what you are capable of contributing to the world. The clarity of open intelligence is the reliable, stable ground of all experience and by training it up we tap into our innate power to be of benefit. The focus effortlessly shifts from one of obsessive self-concern to the wide-open vantage of the clear field of vision that is our true identity.

Blow open all ideas into brilliant clarity intelligence and be part of the most incredible revolution that human identity has ever undergone!

Human Identity

2011-05-16T15:17:00.000-07:00

How incredible it is to be redefining human identity. The most radical deconstruction of all conceptual frameworks occurs in a short moment of the clarity of open intelligence.

Expectation

2011-04-25T02:50:00.000-07:00

From the wide-open field of clarity we are not bound by any idea or expectation of how things should be. Instead there is a dynamic responsiveness that is the spontaneous outpouring of beneficial creativity, free of any conceptual construct or frame. Complete care-free openness in every moment that allows true warmth and innovation in all situations.

Clarity Community

2011-04-10T02:35:00.000-07:00

Every time I spend time with other people who have made the simple choice to prioritise clarity I am completely amazed. I am amazed at the warmth, openness, fun, effectiveness and stability of everyone demonstrating what it mean to be an optimal human being. Ordinary people living extraordinary lives.

Thank you all for everything you bring with such clarity and ease, I feel honoured and privileged to be sharing life together in this way.

Goa

2011-03-27T19:53:00.000-07:00

We have just finished our last day of an incredible season here in Goa. To be surrounded by people who are committed to creating a society of clear, stable, loving human beings is very special. The Center here has been a demonstration of what is possible for humanity, a beacon of brilliant clarity, shining its bright light on many thousands of people. I feel so lucky to be living life this way and just full of gratitude for everyone that made this possible, thank you!

Original Purity

2011-03-23T21:16:00.001-07:00

Immediately reset yourself to your original sky-like purity with a short moment of relaxed openness. Nothing needs to change, nothing is required, just relax body and mind for a short moment.

Complete Empowerment

2011-03-17T02:19:00.000-07:00

The complete empowerment of what it actually means to be a human being is found in the instinctive recognition of the inseparability of what is appearing from what is looking. With this recognition the bright open intelligence that is the basis for all experience naturally becomes more and more obvious. We are no longer fooled by the countless, ceaseless and unpredictable flow of thoughts and perceptions but instead are grounded in their stable essence.

This clear seeing is always wide-open and free in its own place, fully capable of seeing exactly what is the most effective way to be in any situation. We tap into our innate capacity to be of incredible benefit when we are free of the need to continuously build elaborate fictions around every fleeting appearance. The ease of being, compassion and clarity that we may have searched hard for are found to be naturally present in each short moment of relaxing mind and body.

Personal identity

2011-03-08T01:24:00.000-08:00

All ridiculous and painful extremes of self identification are instantly outshone by a short moment of the instinctive recognition of the inseparability of whatever is occurring from the primordial ground of wide-open benefit. What's looking has no need of any conceptual frameworks, no need to get caught up in any ideas of "existence", or "non-existence", it is always just naturally present and at ease.

Why rely on clarity?

2011-03-01T09:20:00.000-08:00

The reason to become familiar with clarity is to blow open all conventional descriptions of who we are and what we are capable of into the wide-open, free-flowing spontaneous outpouring of benefit that is synonymous with clarity.

In each short moment we clarify the exact nature of our experience, cut the root of the belief in the independent nature of any description and touch in with the relaxed openness that is at the root of all perception. When we are no longer fettered by the need to refer experience to any set of conceptual frameworks then the wonder of everything just as it is is instinctively recognised and we rest easily in the powers of great benefit.

Delight

2011-02-12T21:45:00.001-08:00

Enjoy the sheer delight of everything just as it is. Relax all need to describe, just for a short moment, and see what you find.

Freedom

2011-02-07T01:34:00.000-08:00

True freedom is the ability to respond with spontaneous love, compassion and wisdom in any situation. To be free of the need to reference our behaviour to any adopted set of belief systems or conceptual frameworks allows for the clear, bright, openness of clarity intelligence to shine brightly forth in all of our everyday activities. The evidence of this is to be found in the demonstration of naturally beneficial speech, mind, qualities and activities. Decisive action that is effortlessly sensitive to the needs of everyone becomes the norm.

Freedom is not a self-centred activity but is for the benefit of all.

Taking clarity power all the way.

2011-01-29T03:43:00.000-08:00

If you have had a glimpse of your innate clarity power, the clear intelligence that is obvious when you stop thinking just for a moment, then that is a wonderful thing. If you are experiencing increasing mental and emotional stability on a daily basis then, hurrah! If you are having keen insight into the nature of your experience then this is a sure sign of growing familiarity with clarity intelligence.

If you really want to take the recognition of clarity power all the way then immerse yourself in the complete support of the Four Mainstays and take it all the way. Claim your birthright of beneficial clarity and enjoy the Era Of Great Benefit.

Affliction

2011-01-20T20:30:00.000-08:00

Your afflictive states are the key to tapping into clarity power. Your anger, your sadness, your irritation or confusion are potent with beneficial energy when left exactly as they are. This is directly recognised in a short moment of allowing these surges of energy to do whatever they are doing without indulging, avoiding or replacing them. These states are power houses of heart bursting compassion and the clear light of clarity. As soon as you start to do anything with them then you are lost in an world of endless descriptions, swallowed up by all of the elaborate stories that immediately proliferate.

Stand tall as clarity amidst the flow of unpredictable points of view, unflinching in your commitment to clarity for the benefit of all.

Shining Clarity

2011-01-17T18:44:00.000-08:00

Seize the power of your own mind! Blow wide-open all of your pre-conceptions of what you are capable of with the pure potency of clarity. Shatter all illusions with the lightning bolt of brilliant recognition of exactly the way things really are. Shine the bright light of clarity on every one of your adopted assumptions about what is going on. Go right to the heart of the matter in every short moment of shining clarity. Do not settle for anything other than the total empowerment of yourself, fearless and ferocious and completely capable of incredible benefit.

Direct encounter

2011-01-10T00:42:00.000-08:00

It is only in the direct encounter with all of our experience that we have the opportunity to come to deeply know the inseparable nature of whatever is occurring from the basic state. As long as we are still engaged in the conventional approach of continually micromanaging every experience, holding on to the good ones and trying to avoid the bad, then this inseparability will never be more than a rather nice concept. It is only when we decide to face everything fully, whilst firmly rooted in clarity and its support network that the indivisible nature of everything is directly recognised. In this recognition of the way things really are is the power to be of great benefit both to yourself and everyone and everything in your life as you blow open all adopted frames of reference.

The importance of support

2011-01-08T19:49:00.000-08:00

To try and take short moments of clarity on your own can bring relief to many situations but at other times can also seem very challenging. With the support of a trainer, a wealth of training material and a world-wide community the recognition of clarity on a moment to moment basis becomes much easier. When you are completely supported then there is no way that you can go wrong, no possibility of holing up in some obscure point of view. Instead you are empowered to take clear, decisive, compassionate action that is of benefit to all.

Gems

2011-01-01T06:00:00.000-08:00

Your points of view are precious gems! Each experience is a unique opportunity to extract the clarity power inherent in all situations. A wonderful chance to allow everything to be exactly as it is and to demonstrate the practical perfected action of clarity intelligence. This is your clarity intelligence in your everyday experience of life. Not far off, not mysterious or unattainable but immediately accessible in a short moment of relaxed openness.

Stand up and be counted

2010-12-31T04:02:00.000-08:00

Relying on clarity is not a passive state. In clarity there is a spontaneous natural ethics coupled with the power to take clear, direct action if that is what is required. Clarity intelligence does not need to hold to any conventional framework at all and is thus free of the need to look any particular way.

In the open-hearted caring of clarity there is immense power to bring incredible benefit to yourself and to many others. Stand up and be counted!

Training up

2010-12-30T06:54:00.000-08:00

Training is required to take clarity intelligence all the way, if you think you don't need a trainer then that is a sure sign of holing up in a point of view.

No one at home

2010-12-29T07:19:00.000-08:00

It is a very painful extreme to adopt the position of "I am not really there", or "I cannot do anything to take responsibility for recognising clarity". Clarity is the vast expanse that includes all points of view equally and does not need to adopt any conceptual point from which to view.

Tele-trainings

2010-12-15T03:42:00.000-08:00

Did you know that Great Freedom offers regular tele-trainings in 6 different languages. You can call in and participate in a training that will support you in gaining confidence in clarity from anywhere in the world. This is just one aspect of the global support network. Clarity, it's up to you!

Release

2010-12-03T06:02:00.000-08:00

Everything spontaneously self-releases without anything needing to be done. Right now look at your own experience and see how things really are. Each perception has exactly the same fundamental nature. It appears spontaneously and then simultaneously effortlessly resolves. Each thought inseparable from the seamless flow of experience, each point of view the dynamic display of clarity. This happens without any effort needed to make it so, each perception resolving naturally, like the knot in a snake effortlessly undoes itself.

With this simple recognition there is immediate relief.

Everyday

2010-12-01T01:19:00.000-08:00

If you are interested in being immersed in a global support network that will only help you to recognise how incredible you already are then have a look at Great Freedom. Here you will find direct, clear and precise instructions as to how to bring the theoretical understanding of the unified nature of existence into your everyday lived reality.

Does it work?

2010-11-29T01:38:00.001-08:00

Does it work? This is the crucial question to ask yourself about any training that is offered in any sphere of human activity. Does the training deliver what is promised? Is there a support network that will offer precise guidance and help 24/7? Are there thousands of other people who are also seeing impressive results due to the training? Is there a forum where you can go and read about other people's experiences with the training? Are there a growing number of trainers able to convey the training with clarity and effectiveness? Is the training available to anyone regardless of their financial situation?

If you can answer yes to all of these questions then it may be that you have found something rather incredible. http://www.greatfreedom.org/

Responsibility

2010-11-03T15:42:00.000-07:00

It can be a little bit of a shock to realise that we are completely responsible for our own well-being. By gently familiarising ourselves with the beneficial clarity that is the basis of all experience then we gradually become accustomed to this.

The first place we see this benefit is in our own lives as from the vantage of clarity we have a much more spacious context for all of our fleeting thoughts, emotions and sensations. We recognise that we don't actually have to be a victim of these unpredictable appearances but instead can choose to become grounded in the stability of clarity.

As the recognition of our basic "okayness" dawns then we see that all the time and energy that we put into trying to fix ourselves can in fact be much better utilised to help and support other people. This is such a relief and we can take our place a mature members of the Human race.

True Freedom

2010-10-30T20:59:00.000-07:00

True freedom is to see beyond every adopted frame of reference and to recognise our power to bring incredible benefit to all.

Peaceful stability

2010-10-23T08:25:00.000-07:00

In a short moment of simply allowing whatever point of view arises to just be exactly as it is then the true nature of all experience is directly recognised. Each perception effortlessly flowing on by, leaving no trace in the vastness of sky-like clarity.

When we give up the struggle with each fleeting appearance then we find the peaceful stability that is at the root of every moment. We discover the capacity to be in true relationship with ourselves and with everyone else. Open-hearted clarity pervading each and every moment, all points of view an opportunity to be of great benefit.

Your power of benefit

2010-10-10T04:16:00.000-07:00

Each one of us has the power to be a force for powerful benefit in the world. Become familiar with the relaxed clarity that is naturally present right now. Take responsibility for contributing to world peace, make your life a peace zone. It has to start with each one of us!

To extract the power from any thought, emotion or experience just relax for a short moment. Relax and really allow everything to be felt fully, without avoiding anything. Notice the openness of perception that is naturally present regardless of whatever the particular experience happens to be.

http://www.greatfreedom.org/index.html

Natural state

2010-10-06T05:44:00.000-07:00

Our natural state is relaxed and clear. Each time we pause the need to frantically describe everything that is going on then this natural openness is instinctively recognised. It is such a relief to recognise this stable ground of being, to discover that we are naturally compassionate, sensitive and alert and completely able to contribute our incredible gifts to be of benefit to all.

Freedom

2010-09-28T05:21:00.000-07:00

Freedom is not a self centred activity. True freedom is the ability to become an active participant in life. True freedom is seeing how skilled and capable we are and then effortlessly directing our activities for the benefit of all. True freedom is bursting with the wonder of the beauty of each moment and the wanting for the best for everyone. True freedom is to be found in relaxing for a short moment and gently allowing the recognition of clarity to become more and more obvious.

Short moments of clarity, repeated many times, become continuous.

Global clarity network

2010-09-27T05:45:00.000-07:00

The power we have when we work together is something that most people already know. When we blast open the myriad of descriptive frameworks we have used to try and contrive the ways in which we can contribute and cooperate then we discover a whole new order of beneficial activity.

By tapping in to the global support network of Great Freedom what you discover is a group of people completely dedicated to supporting each other in relying on clarity. By seeing that we do have the ability to extract the power from each of our own experiences we know decisively that this is something that other people are also capable of. Each circumstance becomes the perfect opportunity to recognise the brilliance of clarity intelligence and it's innate compassion, strength and beneficial responsiveness. We all know how normal it is for us to want the best for other people. It's time to stop blaming others for the problems that we see in the world and actually begin to take responsibility for ourselves.

Great Benefit

2010-09-26T05:23:00.000-07:00

The reason for gaining confidence in clarity is to be of great benefit.

Obsessive self focus

2010-09-24T06:01:00.000-07:00

The recognition of the clarity of awareness is not about starting up another activity that is obsessively focused on all the ideas we have about everything. It is very easy to simply replace conventional frameworks with new frameworks about the recognition of clarity.

If you find yourself thinking about the recognition of clarity then this is a sign that you simply need to relax for a short moment. In this immediate instinctive recognition is all the understanding that you will ever require. The brilliant responsive intelligence of clarity is this relaxed openness.

Just show up

2010-09-23T02:42:00.000-07:00

The most incredible piece of advice I was ever given was "just show up". Simply by listening to the hundreds of hours of free downloads, watching videos and attending Open Meetings whenever I was able, clarity became more and more obvious. With absolutely unerring instruction and support it is guaranteed that there is an increased ease and stability in all situations. It is an incredible relief to recognise that everything, without exception, rests in the warm embrace of clarity. I am so grateful for this incredible training and the love, warmth and openness that are now so much a part of my life.

Thank you Great Freedom!

Real Intelligence

2010-09-22T05:01:00.000-07:00

What is looking through your eyes is clear, alert and vital. This clarity is evidenced in the ability to experience the ever-changing flow of perception. This dynamic display is the perfect opportunity to recognise the always-on nature of innate clarity.

By relying on clarity rather than only the descriptive frameworks that we have adopted to try and understand what is going on we tap into the vital essence of all experience. This essence is intelligent and all-pervasive, pervading all experience without exception. Clarity is the ability to respond with complete openness in any situation and to clearly see what is the most beneficial action we can take. It is like seeing everything from the top of a mountain, effortlessly knowing exactly what to do or what to say without any turmoil or confusion possible.

A case of mistaken identity

2010-09-18T02:53:00.001-07:00

When we believe all of the conventional descriptions of who we are then we create an identity based on what other people have told us. By the direct observation of our own experience we are capable of coming to a definitive conclusion about the nature of our experience and thus about the nature of our true identity.

The painful way of life based on making all kinds of assumptions about who we are and what we need to be happy is shone through in an instant of instinctive relaxed openness. With the support of a community of people dedicated to relying on this innate clarity then there is no chance of even the slightest confusion around this most vital of recognitions. With nothing to defend there is no place for resentment and pain. With nothing to prove their is only spontaneous cooperation. With nowhere to go there is only total wonder at everything just as it is!

Direct Recognition

2010-09-15T12:53:00.000-07:00

The direct recognition of the inseparable nature of clarity from every perception is completely convincing. This recognition does not depend on what the perception might happen to be. We might have labelled it a thought, emotion or physical sensation. However we have labelled it clarity shines brightly, lighting up the perception from within. Clarity illuminates all experience without exception.

In a short moment of relaxed openness, this is immediately and directly known. Great Freedom is a worldwide community of people dedicated to making the simple choice of relying on clarity. With the clear, consistent support that is offered confidence in clarity is guaranteed to increase and the ability to live life unlimited by any conventional framework becomes a reality.

Trust

2010-09-10T09:55:00.000-07:00

What a relief to discover that we don't need to believe anything that we have been told about who we are or what we need to do to be OK. When we relax for a short moment we find something that we can really count on, something that we can really trust, our own direct experience of sky-like clarity. This direct, instinctive recognition of the stable ground of all experience is completely convincing and blows open the need to try and pin down or hold on to any fleeting appearance. Instead, when we repeat this simple recognition, we see that we can be more and more comfortable with the unpredictable flow of experience, however it looks. Great freedom is freedom in the immediate perception of everything exactly as it is. It is about getting real with ourselves about exactly what is the true nature of our experience, seeing that with clear guidance and support we have everything we need to gain confidence in the clarity that is the essence of every moment.

Simplicity

2010-09-07T12:33:00.000-07:00

In a short moment of relaxed openness the simplicity of being is directly experienced. Potent clarity effortlessly pervades all experience, lighting it up from within.

Short moments of the instinctive recognition of clarity, repeated many times, become continuous.

No longer a victim

What a relief to discover that we no longer have to be a victim to any of our points of view. By relying on sky-like clarity for short moments, many times, then we directly experience the stable ground of all experience, amidst the unpredictable flow of perceptual phenomena.

By taking advantage of the support offered by Great Freedom it is absolutely guaranteed that confidence in relying on clarity will increase and we will experience increased ease in all situations.

Stability

2010-09-05T07:57:00.000-07:00

Each moment is unique, fresh and new. The content of our experience is continually changing and yet underpinning it all is the vastness of sky-like clarity, constant and completely reliable. By emphasising clarity rather than only the contents of our experience we discover something quite incredible. What we discover is the stable ground of all our experience, the constant amongst all the ceaseless flow of fleeting appearances, naturally present and unwavering.

When we begin to rely on this clarity then we see how easily we are able to respond with warmth, openness and piercing intelligence in any situation, we are no longer confined by having to conform to all our conventional frames of reference. We directly experience what real freedom is and the fundamental nature of all our experience is directly recognised. Each moment has the same potential, each moment is an opportunity to recognise what is already the case. Short moment by short moment, gently touch in with this openness and see for yourself.

Descriptive frameworks

2010-09-02T15:34:00.001-07:00

All descriptive frameworks rest naturally in the basic state of clarity. All opposites and dichotomies subsumed in clarity, the broadest of all categories. Nothing opposed to clarity as all is the display of clarity. No label more evidence of natural perfection than any other. The expanse of equalness and evenness is the perfect playground for purely beneficial qualities and activities, hooray!

Scientific method.

2010-09-01T09:58:00.002-07:00

Recognising your true nature is not a matter of faith or belief but instead of direct, clear observation of the way things actually are. If we take the "scientific method" to it's logical conclusion then there is no need to take anything we have learned about ourselves and the nature of reality from other people as true but instead actually rely on our own experience. When we look clearly there is nothing that has an independent nature, separate or apart from the clarity that is looking through your eyes or hearing through your ears. All the "things" that seemed so real and compelling immediately have a completely different context and we can finally begin to relax the obsessive rearranging of space to try and make ourselves feel better, phew.

Scientific method.

2010-09-01T09:58:00.001-07:00

The nature of reality

2010-08-31T10:21:00.002-07:00

When you relax for an instant it is obvious the way that all phenomena effortlessly arise and resolve in a seamless uniflow. The spontaneous self-release of the hear-and-now is absolutely guaranteed as is evidenced by the fact that it is impossible to hold on to any thought. Each thought slips into the next without any effort required.

With the help of the global support network at Great Freedom you will find clear directions on how to become completely confident in clarity.

Direct experience

2010-08-27T02:15:00.000-07:00

Having an intellectual understanding of the interconnectedness of everything is great. However, it is only when we start to directly experiences the unified nature of all phenomena in daily life that we really start to tap in to the incredible power that we have. This power is the power to bring about radical change that is so obviously needed in the world from the vantage of clarity intelligence.

The simple practice of taking short moments of clarity, repeated many times, until it becomes continuous is guaranteed to bring increasing confidence in clarity. Great Freedom is a worldwide grass-roots movement that empowers and supports people who are interested in becoming confident in clarity and its powers of great benefit. By recognising that clarity is the essence of every perception we cut the root of needing to define ourselves by means of outmoded learned belief systems and instead allow the brilliance of clarity to become more and more obvious. Instead we open up to the unlimited potential of every moment and see what we are really capable of.

Evoking Clarity

2010-08-25T15:43:00.000-07:00

There are many pleasant words spoken about clarity or awareness but very few that have the power to directly evoke the instinctive recognition of the fundamental nature of reality. Even when we hear words that resonate deeply it is essential that these initial insights be supported with clear instructions on how to stabilise the recognition. If this is not the case then we are likely to become more confused about what we have experienced and to adopt an extreme position or point of view without realising what we are doing.

This is where a global community and support network is vital. By really committing to take short moments of clarity along with the rest of the invaluable support offered by Great Freedom it is absolutely guaranteed that you will find increasing stability in all areas of life.

Repetition, repetition, repetition

2010-08-22T10:18:00.000-07:00

Repetition is an incredibly powerful learning tool. It is by repeatedly emphasising the labels and descriptions that we gradually come to believe in an independently existing material "reality" and an independently existing personal identity. From this perspective it is no great surprise that we often feel separate or disconnected.

By repeatedly recognising the wide-open clarity that is the source, essence and fundament of all experience then we gently come to see the already always interconnected nature of all labels and descriptions. It is only by being firm in the commitment to recognise innate clarity for short moments that we see through the myriad of belief systems and descriptive frameworks that we have adopted. Naturally present sky-like clarity has no need for any concept or idea to support itself.

Natural Perfection!

2010-08-21T09:22:00.001-07:00

Through taking short moments of really allowing everything to be exactly as it is, the inseparable nature of everything from the basic state of clarity is directly experienced. The seamless flow of all phenomena is obvious once we relax the obsessive habit of describing, analysing or elaborating fleeting appearances. The fact that everything rests equally in natural perfection that transcends all descriptive frameworks is not something that can be easily grasped intellectually but it is something that can be directly experienced in a short moment of relaxation. From the vantage of relaxed clarity we are able to take action that is of powerful benefit as we see that the display of phenomena is the opportunity demonstrate the powers of practical perfected action.

The support of the community

2010-08-20T05:58:00.000-07:00

The support of a global community of people dedicated to relying on clarity is essential. This along with the guidance of a clear teacher and texts that directly evoke the instinctive recognition of clarity form the necessary framework for increasing confidence in clarity. Along with the always available tool of "short moments" of clarity, these four supports or mainstays prevent us becoming sidetracked down one of the many tributaries of awareness.

Without this steady support there is no way that I could have remained as steadfastly rooted in the beneficial flow of clarity. Thank you to everyone that contributes in so many skilful ways to this global clarity society.

Natural Perfection?

2010-08-19T02:38:00.000-07:00

When I came across this teaching one of the questions that I had was "How is it possible that all of my thoughts, emotions and experiences are naturally perfect?"

It seemed to me that so many of my thoughts, emotions and experiences were obviously signs of my imperfection and the imperfection of others and the world in general. After all I became angry, sad, irritated, bored on a regular basis and I saw that this was the case for everyone else as well. I could see so much injustice and violence in the world and certainly couldn't see how this was an indication of anything other than the fundamentally flawed nature of life and human society.

The first thing that I began to see was how I always had a choice in every moment. It was always the same choice and didn't depend on what I was thinking or how I was feeling or even who I was with. This choice was the choice to relax for a short moment and to recognise the natural presence of sky-like clarity. As it became apparent that I did always have this choice, no matter what was going on, then it also began to dawn on me that every situation was perfect for me to make this choice. This was always the case no matter how I how I described what was going on.

This was amazing as for the first time there was something that was quiet incredible about my feelings of anxiety, nervousness or self-doubt. It was seen that they were in fact an opportunity to rely on clarity. They weren't something that I had to spiral down into a vicious circle of further introspection about but became opportunities to relax for a short moment. My confidence has effortlessly grown that I can in fact leave these so called afflictive states and negative emotions exactly as they are and that when I do this they really don't have the power over me that I thought they did. I began to see through the mass of belief systems and conceptual frameworks that I had built up around them and there was immediately a greater sense of ease.

Identity

2010-08-15T10:28:00.000-07:00

Who you are doesn't require the support of any conceptual framework or idea. The open-hearted clarity that is the basis of all experience is naturally present, wide-open like a cloudless sky. Once this is recognised then the whole search for identity relaxes. This in itself is a great relief but the true wonder is to discover the inseparability of clarity from the ability to act with compassion and skill in all situations. This is the demonstration of clarity in everyday life.

Decision making

2010-08-10T04:32:00.001-07:00

Once we recognise the nature of all experience to be like a rainbow appearing in the sky then we immediately have a more relaxed approach to decision making. If we have never been able to hold on to any perception and realise that the only place to find completely stability and well-being is in relying on clarity then immediately we have a different perspective on all experience. To see that complete well-being is accessible right now, just by relaxing the need to describe everything that is going on, then we also see that our well-being does not depend on the outcome of any decision.

By relaxing it is clearly seen that decisions and solutions effortlessly arise in the same space of wide-open clarity as all other perceptions. Clarity intelligence is already the case, permeating each moment with its brilliant light, relax and notice that this is the case.

Clarity society

2010-08-09T10:27:00.000-07:00

The power we have when we come together to create a society based on clarity is amazing. By taking responsibility for extracting the power from all our viewpoints we access a powerful intelligence that is not restricted by conventional frameworks or approaches. The problem solving capacity of innate clarity can be applied to any sphere of human activity, to any part of your life. By relaxing for a short moment we allow the spontaneous creative brilliance of clarity to become obvious in a very practical way. All situations are approached with an openness and ease that allows true innovation. This is demonstrated in the way that we relate to ourselves, other people and the challenges that we face in life. By supporting each other in this most important of choices we are bringing about the radical change that is so clearly needed. It is the simple choice between a world based on fear and greed and a society grounded in the mutual respect inherent in natural clarity. Each short moment of clarity you take contributes to this powerful force for change.

Natural benefit

2010-08-08T01:17:00.000-07:00

How amazing to discover that our natural condition is one of open-hearted benefit!

One simple change makes life easy

2010-08-03T01:58:00.000-07:00

I used to be very hard on myself. Constantly analysing and picking apart everything I said or did. I was always trying to work out what people had thought about me, whether they found me attractive or funny or clever or cool. It was very rare that I thought I measured up to my high expectations of how I should be. Not surprisingly, I was also very judgemental and critical of other people.

Through a growing confidence in clarity I have seen how painful and unnecessary this approach is. Through simply allowing everything to be exactly as it is for a short moment, the true nature of all experience is revealed in a very direct way. I recognised that none of these fleeting appearances were anything that I needed to make a big deal out of, the perspective that I had always known to be the case was suddenly more obvious in day to day life. This is the one simple change that makes life easy.

Global Community

2010-08-01T00:25:00.000-07:00

The prospects for a society based on mutual respect and the problem solving capacity of clarity become apparent every time we take a short moment to recognise our own innate clarity. By repeating this recognition we see that clarity cuts the root of all conventional belief systems and approaches to life. From uncontrived openness we are empowered to respond with spontaneous intelligence that is naturally all inclusive and effortlessly of benefit to all. From uncontrived openness relating becomes easy as the need to assert or prove ourselves relaxes and there is an open-hearted care-free approach to all situations. What is most incredible is to see how from uncontrived openness how effective we can be. When we are no longer constrained by all the learned knowledge that we have accumulated then we can act decisively and with great clarity and allow true innovation that can benefit many to effortlessly arise.

Check it out, see for yourself. Stop thinking, just for a moment....notice the clarity that remains.

My experience of the Human Identity Summit

2010-07-29T00:19:00.000-07:00

Participating in the Human Identity Summit has benefited me in so many ways. It was so powerful to see that the slight unease I has still subtly felt around certain viewpoints to do with sex and relationships are also fine to be left exactly as they are. When left like this then I can really extract the power from them. Once recognised as the dynamic liveliness of clarity then instead of being something that can cause tension or unease they are instead full of potent benefit. Seeing beyond the conventional frameworks that I tried to use to understand and define my identity and my experience is always incredible and by shining the bright light of clarity into all the unnoticed corners then we become absolutely clear as to the nature of all view points. It was interesting to see how there were still subtle viewpoints that I was still giving power to define who I was and how I should behave.

It is in the lighting up of these viewpoints that true power is found, for the less encumbered by learned belief systems we are the more free we are to respond with complete openness in any situation, whatever that situation might be. The less we need to reference what is going on to some fictitious identity that we have adopted then the easier it is to be with ourselves and with other people. I feel so much more at ease with myself as I grow in confidence in clarity, nothing to prove, nothing to attain just the natural unfolding of beneficial qualities and activities in everyday life.

In my work I see again and again how potent relying on clarity is. Clarity allows for the effortless assimilation and analysis of all available data or information. From the vantage of clarity everything is seen clearly and since nothing can distract from clarity then nothing can prevent the spontaneous appearance of solution orientated benefit. This perspective allows for effortless adaptation to the continuously changing situation we find ourselves in and this is particularly so in the work environment. There is nothing that can slow for even an instant the potent flow of clarity
benefit and this is demonstrated in practical ways in all areas of my life.

What has been most incredible about the Summit has been the blasting open of so many conventional ideas regarding the capacity to be of benefit. I am now clear that it really is up to me to decide how I want to spend my life. It is also clear exactly how much capacity to be of benefit we have as human beings. We are not limited by anything, not even our imaginations and as the free flowing display of clarity benefit becomes brighter and brighter this is apparent in my direct experience.

Together we are creating a clarity revolution that is gently yet powerfully sweeping the globe. I feel so fortunate to be on this amazing adventure with all of you and to know my identity as brilliant clarity.

Indestructable benefit

2010-07-25T05:16:00.000-07:00

The full power of you and your ability to be of incredible benefit is revealed in a short moment of clarity. By cutting the root of conventional descriptions we see the naked truth of existence revealed in all its wonder. From the vast open expanse of clarity we are able to see clearly exactly how to act in any situation. When we are no longer caught up in the web of descriptions, labels and concepts that seemed so compelling then we allow the raw intelligence at the base of all experience to be come more and more obvious. This piercing clarity sees everything exactly as it is with nothing to hide from or avoid any more. Open-hearted clarity is powerful and direct.

Clarity Intelligence

2010-07-23T03:54:00.000-07:00

Clarity intelligence pervades and subsumes all descriptions. Through growing familiarity with clarity we begin to see beyond the fictitious world of descriptions and labels. Steadfast in the obviousness of clarity in every moment all appearances are transformed into their wisdom counterparts. We allow the brilliance of clarity intelligence to inform our speech and actions in a completely relaxed natural way. The benefit of this recognition is immediate and powerful as true innovation can only arise once we see through the self-imposed limitations of conventional frames of reference.

Great Freedom provides a global support network to help you become familiar with clarity identity.

Secret thoughts

2010-07-20T09:21:00.000-07:00

The brilliant all-pervasive glow of clarity lights up all experience with its luminosity. All really does mean all, especially those particular thoughts or feelings that we are convinced are evidence of something being wrong. It is in these "secret" thoughts that we will find the greatest power and evidence of clarity when we discover that we can, we really can, allow them to be just however they are. They cannot harm us, they cannot shake the obviousness of love-clarity no matter how elaborate our stories about them. When we leave them exactly as they are and do not attempt to block or avoid them then we can extract the power from them as pure brilliant shining clarity. Freedom in immediate perception, easy when we just relax.

Honesty

2010-07-17T05:12:00.000-07:00

There is an inherent morality at the root of all experience. This becomes apparent in the way that we relate with ourselves and others from the vantage of crystal-clear clarity. There is no need to contrive anything, just allow the brilliant intelligence that is required for all experience to become obvious, short moment by short moment. In this short moment the relaxed clarity, or perceptual openness, clarity is instinctively recognised. From this vantage there is nothing to defend, prove or lie about, as all is seen to be the natural emanation of wide-open clarity. Actions spontaneously become less self-centred and the focus gently slips away from any assumed identity, phew, what a relief...

Key instructions

2010-07-14T09:33:00.000-07:00

Key instructions are vital to the instinctive recognition of clarity. "Short moments of clarity, repeated many times, become continuous."

Support in gaining confidence in clarity.

2010-07-12T03:34:00.000-07:00

Clarity is the core competence and most powerful of all natural resources. When we try to gain confidence in clarity on our own there are all kinds of subtle points of view that we may not notice that we have adopted. The value of teachers and a community is to support us in becoming completely clear as to the nature of all phenomena. With the right support there is no way to become lost in the more subtle frames of reference and we can really become empowered to shine with the brilliance of innate clarity and inspire others to do the same. Together we can create a world that we are truly proud to be a part of, a world based on the problem solving capacity of clarity.

Great Freedom is such a global community. Somewhere that you will only find support in gaining confidence in clarity and where you can support others in being the best that they can be. Check it out, what have you got to lose?

Clarity

2010-07-11T01:25:00.000-07:00

You clarity is already shining brilliantly, right now. Only to be found in the present moment perception, whatever that happens to be. Become familiar with this most potent of natural resources short moment by short moment. Allow everything to be just as it is and recognise that it is only due to innate clarity that anything is know at all. Open up to a life based on clarity and your true potential blossoms like a well tended garden.

Stability

2010-07-10T00:01:00.000-07:00

Perfect mental and emotional stability is not something that is even posited as being a possibility by most people. However, when we become confident in relying on clarity then this is exactly what we find. Clarity is the stable ground of all experience, the only constant amidst the unpredictable flow of experience. It is always there, always accessible, always shining brightly as whatever perception is there at this moment.

Great Freedom provides a worldwide support network to support gaining confidence in relying on clarity.

Ecstasy

2010-07-09T00:57:00.000-07:00

The sheer joy of recognising that everything, right now, is perfectly complete exceeds all expectations. The only way that this can be recognised is to pause your descriptive train of thought, just for an instant, and simply relax. Nothing needs to change for this instinctive recognition to take place and this option is available to you right now. There is nothing in the way, nothing that needs to be unblocked or fixed or altered in any way for this already present perceptual openness to be noticed.

With this recognition comes total clarity regarding the nature of all experience, all phenomena, including the experience of "I". With the acknowledgement of clarity as the basis for all perceptions, short moment by short moment, comes the realisation of just how painful it is to obsessively emphasise the experience of "I". When we see that "I" is simply another bright appearance of luminous clarity then we immediately have a balanced view on exactly what is really going on.

The meaning of life

2010-07-07T01:52:00.000-07:00

Once you see that all descriptions, labels and concepts appear equally within the vast expanse of natural clarity then the meaning of life becomes obvious. When we have the overview of all phenomena from the vantage of clarity then everything is seen clearly, like the view from a mountain top. When we have the context for all questions and and all answers we have access to a quite extraordinary intelligence that is unfettered by any descriptive framework.

How does this come about? Simply by allowing everything to be exactly as it, just for a short moment. In this instant of relaxed openness the pure, clear and ungraspable nature of all experience is directly recognised. When we repeat this moment of recognition then it is clear that this is already the way things are and the relief is immediate.

This thought

2010-07-06T02:21:00.000-07:00

The thought that you are having right now is the place that you will find clarity shining brightly. Relaxed and naturally present like a cloudless sky.

Natural fun

2010-07-05T04:02:00.000-07:00

By becoming familiar with the sky-like nature of perception, short moment by short moment, we discover the easy way of being. With nothing needing to be contrived any more all that's left is carefree openness. Life becomes fun and full of opportunities to help and support other people.

Labels

2010-07-01T03:45:00.000-07:00

It is impossible to capture or pin-down the hear-and-now. Each moment effortlessly slips into the next without separation or division. No label, no matter how compelling or concrete it seems, can ever completely describe our experience. Experience is always free flowing and limitless like the sky. To constantly try and define our experience and who we are with constant reference to all of the different labels is to miss what is most fundamental, the brilliance of naturally present clarity. The instinctive recognition of the inseparable nature of all labels from this vast spacious openness is to discover the truth of who really are and the secret to a life that is free of all concepts and descriptions. Suddenly we are free of the need to obsessively focus on an assumed self identity and are open to the magnificent potential of every moment.

All inclusive

2010-06-29T15:10:00.001-07:00

There is no perception that is not included in the vast expanse of clarity. Each perception only arises due to innate clarity and each perception is brilliantly lit with clarity. Perceptions arise within clarity and clarity is only to be found in perception. The two are inseparable like the colour blue is inseparable from the sky.

Life

2010-06-26T20:00:00.000-07:00

By relaxing and allowing everything to be exactly as it is for short moments we become more and more comfortable with the unpredictable display of phenomena that is sometimes called "life". We all know that life is unpredictable and by relying on innate clarity we also come to know that we have no need to desperately try and control our experience. Through relying on clarity we discover the stable ground of existence that is wide-open and clear. By repeating this instinctive recognition we gain confidence that this is the case and are therefore more able to deal with whatever happens next from the perspective of clarity.

Well-being

2010-06-25T18:37:00.000-07:00

It can be something of a shock when we discover that well-being does not depend on what we are thinking. We have been carefully trained to dissect and analyse our thoughts and emotions to decide which ones are good and which ones are unwanted. We use this methodology to order our life and to gauge whether we are "doing well" or not. We then proceed to try and have as many positive or pleasant experiences as possible and to minimise any negative emotions or thoughts. No matter how successful at this game we are there is no way to hold at bay the negative thoughts or experiences and no way to hold on to the pleasant or positive ones. This approach to life is always hard work as we continually try to micromanage life to be just the way we think it should be. No one had told us that there was any other way to go about things.

When we are introduced to the practice of "short moments" and the support of the world-wide Great Freedom community then very quickly we come to see the futility of this conventional approach to living. Instead we slowly recognise, in our own direct experience, that there is something about us that is always relaxed, clear and spacious no matter what thought or emotion happens to be appearing. By repeating the short moment, whenever we naturally remember then we gradually gain confidence in relying on this clarity and not the endless stream of descriptions. We discover that our well-being does not depend on any particular perception or set of circumstances but that it is to be found in the natural presence of sky-like clarity.

The value of the community is to make the instinctive recognition of clarity easy and to prevent the adoption of any extreme position or point of view. In this way we all support each other in this most important of choices.

Ideas

2010-06-24T23:16:00.000-07:00

The clear openness of perception supersedes all ideas and conceptual frameworks. When we recognise this for short moments, repeated many times, then we really become comfortable with the unpredictable flow of all thoughts. To directly experience that no idea or concept can ever alter sky-like clarity is to directly comprehend the nature of all experience. With this comprehension comes an ease of being and simple appreciation of everything and everyone that is beyond imagining. The limitless liveliness of singularity dances in all its unrestrained joy!

Nature

2010-06-22T12:09:00.000-07:00

When we look at nature the perfect interconnectedness of everything all at once is obvious. The unified nature of all phenomena, no matter how we describe them, is clear in the "natural world". The recognition that our thoughts, emotions and sensations are also nothing but this same unity is the beginning of true compassion and understanding.

Relief

2010-06-21T10:46:00.000-07:00

The relief of recognising for a short moment the open clear nature of perception is immediate. This relief does not depend on any descriptive framework but is intrinsic to every perception. The wide-open sky-like nature of innate clarity is already the case and so to recognise this is never difficult. Repeat this simple recognition for a short moment whenever you naturally remember and see if this sense of openness and ease becomes more obvious in your own direct experience.

Ease

2010-06-21T01:43:00.000-07:00

The ease of being and the complete confidence in knowing that we can rely on the openness of natural clarity comes about in repeatedly taking short moments of instinctive recognition. Keep it simple, short moments repeated many times, do become continuous and confidence and stability effortlessly increase. What a wonder!

Humility

2010-06-19T08:24:00.000-07:00

Humility is a sign of strength and stability. Thank you Great Freedom for all the incredible support I have received over the last few years, there is no way I could have done it on my own.

Definition

2010-06-18T15:13:00.000-07:00

The effort to define ourselves by constantly referencing experience back to a set of belief systems and assumptions never leads anywhere other than more referencing. The brilliant clarity that illuminates all experience has no need of definition and its sole reference is itself. When we relax and recognise that that this is already the case then we find an ease and wisdom that cannot be contrived. When we gently remind ourselves of this fundamental truth, short moment by short moment, then the clarity of seeing everything exactly as it is shines more and more brightly.

Identity

2010-06-16T21:41:00.000-07:00

What can you really say about your identity? What do any of the labels relate to? To see beyond all of the conventional descriptions of who you are just relax right now and notice the clarity that is looking through your eyes. The ability to know is primary to anything that is known and is essential to all knowing. It is always relaxed, wide-open like the sky and always completely beneficial. When we drop all pretence and assumed identities this benefit is immediately and directly experienced.

Community

2010-06-15T20:55:00.000-07:00

The value of spending time with a global community that is solely focused on supporting each other in the instinctive recognition of innate clarity cannot be underestimated. I feel so lucky to have the privilege of having so many incredible friends that want nothing but to help each other in gaining more and more stability and confidence in the brilliance of clarity. Thank you all for all that you do.

Choice

2010-06-14T13:19:00.000-07:00

Right now you have a choice. You can continuing the endless task of sorting your experience in accordance with all the frames of reference you have adopted or you can relax and notice the brilliance of naturally occurring clarity. It is always this simple and every time you acknowledge in your own experience, wherever you are, whatever you are doing, then the more obvious clarity becomes.

Perspective

2010-06-13T13:11:00.000-07:00

Watch your perspective change from being narrow and tense to expansive and wide-open simply by recognising the basic state of clarity for short moments, repeated many times. Your perception has always been unrestricted and free-flowing and you have always known this to be true . It is time to stop fooling yourself and get real with things as they actually are. Claim your birthright and make use of all that you have to offer to the world, it's time to stop messing around.

Obvious

2010-06-10T11:35:00.000-07:00

The openness of perception is obvious when we just relax the obsessive need to describe everything just for a short moment. This openness is relaxed, sensitive and alert, free from the need to refer everything back to an assumed identity.
