Being Present

What happens when you do not get into thought and images of somewhere else, the dream state ?

Suddenly you find that the world is so alive, there is an amplification of sense perception, you are more awake. You just look, and you sense the body energies, and you accept the isness of the moment.

Awakening out of thinking brings you in a state of alertness, an intelligence is there that was not there before.

Another attribute is being activated, it is not the mental memory, it is the eternal memory.

You will without any effort remember all moments of the awake presence, you see and hear everything. You are always.

You change your relationship with yourself, there are no compulsive judgments to yourself nor the others, because you just observe what is, not getting into mental fantasies of what you might believe. You free yourself.

Empty your cup

It is the emptiness that makes the vessel useful. What is a cup without the emptiness within ? It is the emptiness of a thing that makes a thing useful ! Therefore in what you believe to be emptiness, you will find all usefulness. You will then become the vessel of transmutation.

When you are completely and utterly in touch with the core of your own emptiness, you will then understand that everything comes from that emptiness and by being at ONE with the emptiness you will be able to transmute all things that come from it.

For you will be able to shape the emptiness in whatever form you wish it to take. For you will understand the relationship of emptiness to form.

That is the magician's understanding and his pure state.
