The Luminous Mind
Throughout the history of humankind, people have been revering and bowing before sacred mountains, images of goddess and goddesses, and shrines…This is the attitude you want to have for the space within at this very moment…Both the conventional and ultimate aspects of refuge are important to have in order to awaken the luminous mind.
. . .
Resting continuously in that nondual state, gradually experience a sense of warmth, a sense of joy in your heart. Just feel it. Allow it. It is there. . . .That very natural and deep sense of joy is the joy of being, the joy of who you are..
. . .
As you feel it, allow it to expand through your heart and through the rest of your body, through your flesh, bones, blood, skin, through your face, your eyes — through every cell of your body.
. . .
Once you have recognized, connected with, and felt that warmth, try to express it. . . .Connect with the warmth that becomes available, and let the warmth be reflected in your voice. Not only will the words that come from that inner source be kinder and more creative, but you will be able to see this reflected in the other person as warmth comes back toward you…
… Just simply draw your attention within, become still and feel the deep stillness that is always there. You can never lose…
