Mind Openness

Once we have allowed ourselves to recognise the reality of the "looker" (what is perceiving these words right now), recognised this as our true self, and, without effort, allowed ourselves to become self-aware, this aware presence will effortlessly come to the fore in our experience. All objects perceived are then experienced as an intimate expression of this one completely open aware reality we are essentially. At this point, it becomes clear that we are this eternal process of conscious existence unfolding. There is no fear or lack here because there is no person to be afraid. There is just existence flowing; it is real, never-ending, boundless and beautiful and can be trusted as the peaceful context for the flow of constructive thoughts and actions. It's very simple.

We only lose this peace when we attach to a limiting belief that tries to close down and limit the openness of this aware reality by defining it in some way, either as a material object or limiting belief about it, even including spiritual beliefs that attempt to confine it. Deconstructing such beliefs with the certainty, following our investigation, that we do not have any evidence of any limitation and therefore cannot know that we are finite leaves us open, and we can live as if we are the infinite source of wise, courageous love at this moment.

From here, we don't have to do anything but what we love and care for all minds and bodies as vehicles of our activities. If we don't deconstruct such beliefs, we suffer psychologically, which is a reminder for us to do so. There is no judgement about this. It is simply all part of the natural process of consciousness working. It is not a matter of becoming the perfect non-dualist, but just doing our best to remain open and prove to our satisfaction that the experiment of living works out best this way. There is no purpose to this experiment or agenda to it. For all such thoughts would themselves become limiting beliefs that confine us. We do it simply for the love of it.
