Blazing Light, Love's Song

The two slides on the video read:

The aim is awareness. Awareness of what? Anything (emotion, thought, projection, desire, assumption, label, categorization, aggression or forcefulness, contentment, ease, Presence, gratitude, analysis, contemplation, fear, hope, and so forth); anytime, more and more.

How is this aim supported and accomplished? Through consistent off the cushion use of the incremental instructions. On the cushion sessions will develop like a mathematical equation in relation to off the cushion application.

All features of Path, Awareness, Compassion, mind/Mind, emptiness, luminous clarity and sublime joy, etc. can only be “realized personally.” Jamgon Mipham Rinpoche

The experience of foreground-background inches one’s focus or attention toward “no mind,” the spacious, empty nature of mind.

It is another, and more subtle, use of the mandala of the senses, sensations, perception, together with consciousness.

1. active contemplation on something in the moment such as “I am here.” or “The sky is clear.” Active contemplation is not an analysis of something or discursive thought process but rather an open, buddhic one.
2. which leads to or opens into a quality that one is experiencing. Nothing imputed. Your experience is a mandala of qualities.
3. the quality becomes the point of gentle, serene focus. It becomes your soft concentration (for as long as it does/as long as you stay gently one-pointed).
4. that duration is meditation and, all the while, pervasive, spacious background Awareness is coming more to the foreground.
5. at some point, abide as the clear, expansive wholeness.

Each moment is a rich tapestry of potential Awareness. Perspective is an important feature within the whole tapestry. Noticing perspective, focus, or where one’s attention is helps bring the largess of Awareness to the foreground.
