Open Aware Being—Simplicity and Wholeness

This one bottomless moment is ever-changing in appearance while never departing from the immediacy of right here, right now. The common factor in every experience is this immediacy, this aliveness, this open aware being.

The bodymind and the whole universe appear and disappear in this seamless presence like waves in the ocean—ever-changing, inseparable movements of an undivided whole in which there is no inside, no outside, no separation, no division, no other.

We've learned to shrink down and identify as a seemingly separate self encapsulated inside a body, a character in a story, supposedly living in an outside world of solid, persisting things. But by attending to our actual experience, it may be recognized that awareness is unbound and unlimited, ungraspable and yet impossible to doubt, and that all apparent forms (including the body, mind, world) are evanescent, empty of substance or solidity.

When we are hypnotized by the thought-sense of being small and separate from the rest of life, feelings of deficiency, anxiety and dissatisfaction inevitably follow. We try to control ourselves and the world, and we search for certainty and something to grasp.

But in holding on to nothing at all, there is immense freedom. What is offered here invites firsthand exploration and direct discovery, not belief or dogma. There is no finish-line, no method, no future goal, only this ever-fresh aliveness.
