Allow recognition to occur repeatedly…letting be in naturalness.
Recognition is the abiding way.
A moment of complete openness, uncontrived, unconstructed…
fresh present wakefulness…
giving up the whole framework of wanting to achieve something(which is also a thought).
Let your senses be wide awake and don’t hold onto anything.
Let that recognition gain strength…get stabilized…
No word or view to see or maintain…a complete falling away of effort.
Fresh wakefullness is unconfined, unmodified, unconstructed….
Aside from our real underlying nature of things, nothing can be relied upon.
There is no meditation for the nature of mind.
The ultimate refuge is the wakefullness in the space between our thoughts.

The ultimate refuge is the wakefulness in the space between thoughts.
The heart of practice is this recognition of the natural state.
All thoughts chain our mind.
Our enemy, thought is not easy to deal with because it is all that we know.
There is no other enemy.
The whole framework of the thinking mind obscures our underlying intrinsic nature.
Because our intrinsic nature is not an object of thought, it is unknown to thought and thinking.
Hope and fear are thoughts and it is what it means to be human.
The stickiest thought is grasping which distracts, binds, contains and confines us in our very thoughts.
Grasping cannot be destroyed by grasping, only by it’s cessation.
Let intrinsic nature’s recognition be your practice and protection.
Allow it to happen.
Allow the natural liberation of all thought like a finger writing on water.
Acknowledge the original nature of your mind.
The heart of practice is the recognition of this natural state. THIS IS IT. Don’t look elsewhere.
