No work

With the instinctive recognition of our true identity as the Basic State of Awareness, all work becomes completely effortless. No longer is it a big deal, to go the extra mile as to what is needed in any daily activities or any projects in life whether it be work, or family. With the wide-open view of awareness, everything that is needed is taken care of so easily and effortlessly. No longer are there the thoughts of it being "hard work" in order to do a complete and thorough job with all of our many tasks. Everything is attended to as if every single task in life were our very own to complete without effort and with extreme, tender care. With the instinctive recognition of our true nature, we benefit and serve without deliberation. This caring can never be contrived and is only naturally recognized by repeating short moments of rest whenever we remember to do so. Natural rest becomes automatic without contrivance.

Nothing to defend

The plague of point of view can take us out in an instant if we buy into points of view as being solid and real. With the instinctive recognition of the basic state of awareness as our identity, there is nothing to guard or defend. There is no need to try to understand this intellectually or from anything that we've learned. Only by gaining familiarity with the natural inherent basis of awareness can we embrace the unflinching stability and pervasiveness of the soothing energy of awareness. We do this by taking a short moment of rest and repeating it many times throughout our day, until it becomes automatic. The natural movement of awareness is wide open acceptance, loving kindness, willingness, and benefit that supersedes all points of view.

Just as you are

Tender and compassionate gentleness. Allowing oneself the precious opportunity to gain familiarity with this, just as it is. Just as you are. Wide open relaxed well-being, like a person who has given up all plans..... 'let go within supreme freedom and rest in complete evenness.'
