First of all we have to recognize that education in the nature of mind is possible. So a time comes when it’s more than a glimmer of hope inside us, and we recognize that education in the nature of mind is possible. Then for many of us, we might try many different approaches before we find one that really works, and what we look for in terms of what works is results. The results have to be evident in the community of people that are practicing the teaching. When looking for education in the nature of mind then, we want to see the results in the people; we want to see people that are recognizing their strengths, gifts and talents and are able to display those, to actually demonstrate them. This is key, because when we then see people who are demonstrating the immensity of all-accomplishing activity, then we know that it’s possible for us too. This is very important, it is very, very important. In fact, it is a profound basis for the actual introduction to the nature of mind to take place—a very profound basis.

First
of
all
we
have
to
recognize
that
education
in
the
nature
of
mind
is
possible.
So
a
time
comes
when
it’s
more
than
a
glimmer
of
hope
inside
us,
and
we
recognize
that
education
in
the
nature
of
mind
is
possible.
Then
for
many
of
us,
we
might
try
many
different
approaches
before
we
find
one
that
really
works,
and
what
we
look
for
in
terms
of
what
works
is
results.
The
results
have
to
be
evident
in
the
community
of
people
that
are
practicing
the
teaching.
When
looking
for
education
in
the
nature
of
mind
then,
we
want
to
see
the
results
in
the
people;
we
want
to
see
people
that
are
recognizing
their
strengths,
gifts
and
talents
and
are
able
to
display
those,
to
actually
demonstrate
them.
This
is
key,
because
when
we
then
see
people
who
are
demonstrating
the
immensity
of
all-­‐accomplishing
activity,
then
we
know
that
it’s
possible
for
us
too.
This
is
very
important,
it
is
very,
very
important.
In
fact,
it
is
a
profound
basis
for
the
actual
introduction
to
the
nature
of
mind
to
take
place—a
very
profound
basis.
When
we
see
the
result
evident
in
so
many
people,
right
away
in
our
own
mind
it
sparks
something
that
hasn’t
been
there
before.
Instead
of
just
a
glimmer
of
hope,
we
now
have
a
recognition
that
is
occurring
for
us.
At
that
point
we’re
really
ripe
for
the
introduction
to
take
place,
for
the
introduction,
the
authentic
introduction,
which
is
both
symbolic
and
non-­‐symbolic,
that
lives
within
a
profound
lineage
throughout
humankind
of
people
everywhere
all
over
the
world
who
have
been
introduced
to
open
intelligence
and
the
profundity
of
beneficial
quality
and
activity
that
is
inseparable
from
that.

Once
the
introduction
to
the
nature
of
mind
takes
place—boom!
Instead
of
just
an
intellectual
understanding
of
what
is
possible
and
some
kind
of
recognition,
the
recognition
becomes
bright
and
clear.
It
is
obvious
to
us
what
the
recognition
of
the
nature
of
mind
is.
We
now
have
an
instinctive
recognition,
and
the
instinctive
recognition
for
some…Some
people
come
with
a
naturally
restful
mind,
and
so
the
instinctive
recognition
then
is
easy
and
increasingly
obvious
from
then
on.
Others
proceed
in
quantum
leaps,
leaping
along
like
a
kangaroo.
Then
for
others
it
is
more
gradual,
and
the
practice
of
short
moments
repeated
again
and
again
until
open
intelligence
is
obvious
forever,
this
is
what
is
suggested.
This
is
a
very
powerful
and
profound
practice.
It
is
a
practice
of
open
intelligence
on
the
fly.
I’m
going
into
all
of
this,
because
this
is
the
basis
for
recognizing
strengths,
gifts
and
talents.
The
first
short
moment
of
introduction
is
the
first
short
moment
of
immediate
benefit,
the
first
short
moment
of
immediate
beneficial
potency.
In
that
we
now
have
something
that
we
have
clearly
identified
as
ourselves
that
we
know
we
can
count
on
for
immediate
benefit,
no
matter
what
is
going
on.
We
may
forget
that
it’s
available
at
first,
but
eventually
we
see
that
we
can
trust;
we
can
trust
that
this
is
present
all
the
time
and
we
can
trust
that
it
is
our
go-­‐to.
It
is
our
go-­‐to
in
every
circumstance.
Initially
we
may
just
once
or
twice
a
day
remember
short
moments,
and
then
we
recognize
the

3. introduction.
The
introduction
is
already
present;
it’s
simply
a
matter
of
recognition.
Short
moments
provides
that
instinctive
recognition.
As
we
settle
into
the
immediate
benefit
of
open
intelligence,
we
are
settling
in
to
its
immediate
beneficial
potency,
and
this
completely
saturates
our
mind,
and
it
changes
the
way
our
mind
is.
It
changes
the
way
our
speech
is
and
our
body,
qualities
and
activities.
So,
all
this
you
see
is
the
basis
for
identifying
strengths,
gifts
and
talents,
for
even
coming
to
a
conclusion
of
what
those
might
be.
All
of
us,
no
matter
who
we
are,
there
are
things
we
like
to
do
and
other
things
we
don’t
like
to
do.
So
the
things
we
like
to
do,
within
the
range
of
those,
it
might
not
be
exactly
clear
how
we
want
to
However,
we
can
know
by
simply
becoming
more
and
more
familiar
with
the
reality
of
our
own
identity—the
great
vast
body
of
open
intelligence,
vast
and
inexhaustible,
beyond
any
kind
of
comprehension
or
description—that
that
vast
body
is
our
own
body.
Our
physical
body
is
the
momentary
shining
forth
of
open
intelligence’s
primordial
purity
whenever
that
happens
to
enter
mind,
which
is
very
rare.
So
it
becomes
easy
to
see
that
actually
open
intelligence’s
primordial
purity
is
always
spontaneously
present
as
every
appearance,
every
data
stream,
and
this
is
our
primary
body
of
quality
and
activity,

View
Media
endless
and
inexhaustible.
The
quality
and
activity
of
open
intelligence,
as
I
just
said,
is
endless
and
inexhaustible.
It
is
aimlessly
and
directionlessly,
ceaselessly
available
as

4. the
benefit
of
all.
So
for
each
of
us,
we
sink
into
that;
we
sink
into
the
reality
of
what
that
means
for
us,
and
we
have
the
support
of
the
whole
worldwide
community.
We
have
the
support
of
the
training
itself;
we
have
the
support
of
the
trainer
and
we
have
the
support
of
the
simple
practice
of
short
moments.
Through
all
of
this
for
each
of
us,
no
matter
who
we
are,
I
can
guarantee
it
will
become
clear;
it
will
become
very
clear.
In
my
own
case
I
realized
from
the
time
I
was
very
young
that
there
would
come
a
point
where
I
would
be
involved
in
something
like
Balanced
View.
I
had
no
idea
when
that
time
would
come,
and
that
was
fine
with
me,
because
I
would
just
say
to
myself,
“Well,
I’ll
know
when
the
time
has
come.
I
will
just
know
and
leave
it
at
that.
Why
bother
with
any
kind
of
worry
or
other
concern?”
Because
I
could
see
that
life
proceeds
without
any
effort
and
without
anything
needing
to
be
done,
that
there’s
nothing
that
needs
to
be
done
for
the
spontaneous
self-­‐release
of
the
here-­‐and-­‐now;
it’s
guaranteed.
All
that
is
indivisibly
present
all
along
is
open
intelligence,
primordial
purity,
its
immediate
benefit;
that’s
all
that
is
present
all
along
with
each
spontaneous
release
of
the
here-­‐and-­‐now.
I
invite
anyone,
I
challenge
anyone,
to
try
to
hold
the
here-­‐and-­‐now
in
place
or
measure
it
or
analyze
it
or
assess
it
in
any
way.
I
challenge
everyone
in
the
world
to
try
to
do
that.
That
in
itself
is
humbling,
entirely
humbling.
As
much
as
science
and
technology
have
tried
to
measure
reality,
the
occurrence
of
what
is
reality,
the
measurement,
the
analysis,
the
assessment,
the
curation
of
all
the
data
accumulated,
no
one
can
figure
it

5. out.
What
we
do
see
in
our
own
direct
experience,
which
is
really
what
is
important
in
the
cases
of
each
one
of
us,
is
that—boom,
boom,
boom,
boom,
boom,
boom,
boom—in
fractions,
measureless
fractions
of
a
second
the
spontaneous
self-­‐release
of
the
here-­‐and-­‐now
is
guaranteed.
