The above is very well said. However, becoming deeply aware of the tendency to separate our individual awareness from the totality, and beginning to clearly see that dynamic, may not be all that is involved. The actual letting go may involve deeply knowing what we are and being entirely OPEN to That. Which we gradually learn is a great deal more than what apparently resides in the separate body.
Grasping and aversion is definitely connected with suffering. From my experience, it’s quite difficult to completely let go (especially of the aversion). In my case there is acceptance/ allowance for clinging and averting… but then letting go or disowning the fruits of the clinging and averting. Does that make any sense? In other words, there is a free expression of desire, but with conscious detachment from the outcome.
If there is something that is required of universal righteousness and simultaneously a feeling of inadequacy to cause it to manifest, then a call is placed on the universe to empower that to happen - no matter how the universe may (or may not) accomplish it. Again, there is a conscious letting go of the results/ fruits of one’s demand, request or prayer. In Christian terms, it would be equivalent to asking God, the divine, to keep His promises and to manifest righteousness. Which imo is the most powerful request of the divine and mandates a response. The hallmark of an elevated consciousness is being OPEN to the needs of others in order to empower righteousness.
It is kind of like throwing the ‘dice of life’ in one’s own style, then being willing to dance with the outcome no matter what it is. The result is freedom to experience whatever the universe provides in response (positive and negative)… while at the same time most of the emotional baggage and desires are felt exactly as they are, no editing, no stories. It is a sense of moving along this path to the point where there is contentment (sometimes ecstasy) just in BEING. Anything beyond that is regarded as a bonus - happy, sad, enthusiastic, bored … it’s all good … as long as the authentic Self is realized/ remembered. So the clarity resides in that remembrance.
What was said before that you asked for amplification… rephrased as a statement rather than question:
For me, continuously remembering my authentic Self is more or less the same as ensuring clarity…and that state of clarity is the bedrock of inner peace.

very Krishnamurti-esque!
To borrow from a posting of Jonesboy on another thread, this is my current experience of clear seeing and I am sure it will keep evolving. I will bold the parts which hold true for me.
As for this sparkling awareness, which is called “mind,”
Even though one says that it exists, it does not actually exist.
(On the other hand) as a source, it is the origin of the diversity of all the bliss of Nirvana and all of the sorrow of Samsara.
And as for it¡¯s being something desirable; it is cherished alike in the Eleven Vehicles.
With respect to its having a name, the various names that are applied to it are inconceivable (in their numbers).
Some call it “the nature of the mind” or “mind itself.”
Some Tirthikas call it by the name Atman or “the Self.”
The Sravakas call it the doctrine of Anatman or “the absence of a self.”
The Chittamatrins call it by the name Chitta or “the Mind.”
Some call it the Praj?¨¢p¨¢ramit¨¢ or “the Perfection of Wisdom.”
Some call it the name Tathagata-garbha or “the embryo of Buddhahood.”
Some call it by the name Mahamudra or “the Great Symbol.”
Some call it by the name “the Unique Sphere.”
Some call it by the name Dharmadhatu or “the dimension of Reality.”
Some call it by the name Alaya or “the basis of everything.”
And some simply call it by the name “ordinary awareness.”

Now, when you are introduced (to your own intrinsic awareness), the method for entering into it involves three considerations:
Thoughts in the past are clear and empty and leave no traces behind.
Thoughts in the future are fresh and unconditioned by anything.
And in the present moment, when (your mind) remains in its own condition without constructing anything,
awareness, at that moment, in itself is quite ordinary.
And when you look into yourself in this way nakedly (without any discursive thoughts),
Since there is only this pure observing, there will be found a lucid clarity without anyone being there who is the observer;
only a naked manifest awareness is present.
(This awareness) is empty and immaculately pure, not being created by anything whatsoever.
It is authentic and unadulterated, without any duality of clarity and emptiness.
It is not permanent and yet it is not created by anything.
However, it is not a mere nothingness or something annihilated because it is lucid and present.
It does not exist as a single entity because it is present and clear in terms of being many.
(On the other hand) it is not created as a multiplicity of things because it is inseparable and of a single flavor.
This inherent self-awareness does not derive from anything outside itself.
This is the real introduction to the actual condition of things.

Joseph - Yep, now that you mention it, there’s a big link between what I’m saying and Krishnamurti (K). However, it’s only through coming to a sort of awakening to this unconditioned way of being that I became able to understand a word K says… he rambles on and on, and manages to waffle are large amount of stuff which I find entirely irrelevant! Haha. Always found him quite hard-going, but now I see what he was driving at.
Sey - That’s beautiful. I like the term “ordinary awareness” the best too - who would’ve thought something so ordinary, so overlooked, would be a key to liberation. The above sounds like a Dzogchen instruction - I’ve seen the quote before somewhere. Where does it come from? Josh
