Trust
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
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
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
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.
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.
