Say Yes Wholeheartedly to All of Life

Allow awareness to expand until you feel it encompasses all experience. Awareness has two qualities – luminosity and spaciousness – the illuminating or knowing factor in all experience, and the spacious allowing without resistance of all experience. Be that luminous emptiness, aware openness. Our suffering is entirely our own resistance. Whatever you’re resisting – a situation, relationship, absence of a relationship, state of the body, boredom – just turn towards that experience as this openness without resistance. Be the allowing of it till it subsides naturally in its own time. Ask yourself: Can I say yes wholeheartedly to every aspect of my life – painful as well as pleasant? If no, you are still standing as the mind; if yes, as awareness. And if yes, ask yourself: Can I love everyone indiscriminately, or is my love still conditional? If no, you are standing as the mind with its preferences and judgements. If yes, as awareness.
