With the one key
point of short moments, the experiences for the participant subsuming data
as the pure beneficial potency of open intelligence are taken to the final
point of completion of the great exaltation of benefit to all.
2) Training in the one key point of short moments is enhanced by the
trainer's pith instructions imparted as symbolic and non-symbolic
transmissions and communications, thus inexhaustibly empowering open
intelligence's beneficial potencies with great exaltation. Already naturally
present through the inseparability of open intelligence and data, the
trainer is the showplace of all skillful means of open-ended knowledge and
benefit creation, the one who demonstrates the kind of beneficial knowledge
that instinctively recognizes all data as a seamless flow in both their
depth, meaning their profound actuality as it is, and in their extent as the
fuel of flawless exaltation. When one instinctively comprehends and realizes
in accord with that and other statements like it, that is the recollection
of the great exaltation, the most regal of all realizations.
3) Teaching and commenting on the treasure trove of symbolic and
non-symbolic transmissions and communications within the training provide the setting for inexhaustibility in opening up exalted intelligence's beneficial potencies including feats that defy current physical, mental,
emotional, sensorial and otherwise experiential laws of science and
technology. The great treasury of inexhaustible symbolic and non-symbolic
transmissions and communications are the speedway to exaltation of all data,
including intelligence, speech, body, qualities and activities. Beneficial
intelligence, speech, body, qualities and activities are liberated from data
reification and freed in great exaltation.
4) The worldwide community is the environment for the Four Mainstays lifestyle to bring all people and cultures together in living the full realization of indivisible, exalted community for the benefit of all.
No matter what we may undergo in terms of pleasure, sickness, injury,
mishaps, including death, place faith, trust and confidence only in the Four
Mainstays. Go to any lengths, without half measures, and the great
exaltation of benefit to all is your only reality. Always instinctively
realize that data are open intelligence's beneficial potencies, that you are
the intelligence of pure benefit subsuming data as the fuel for empowering
life satisfaction, flourishing and the benefit of all.

Resting naturally for short moments, we neither adopt nor reject our assumptions about the way things are, assumptions about ourselves and our experience, and with this innocence and openness, we begin to see that every variation of human experience is like a different aspect of the spectrum of innate benefit. This can only start to be seen when we remain simple and at ease, allowing our experience as it is, unrejected, no longer covering over with philosophical band aids and correctional antidotes. Short moment by short moment we find increasing conviction in our natural state.SilfanRhysJoneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06231121297320795560noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8260091365003006524.post-79258877772675214772012-06-13T05:32:00.001-07:002012-06-13T05:32:49.967-07:00Spontaneously PresentWhat always remains is stable open intelligence, blazing and spontaneously aware, inseperable from all experience.SilfanRhysJoneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06231121297320795560noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8260091365003006524.post-16006205464796057402012-05-29T16:29:00.002-07:002012-05-29T16:29:43.451-07:00Respect for Inherently Beneficial RealityAs insight spontaneously reveals more and more to us, assurance in Open Intelligence expands beyond what we thought we were aiming for with effort and reference points – the benefit is inherent, and we come to respect and know that.
