Goa

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

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

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

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?

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.
