One finds stillness.

One finds a new, alive energy.

We encounter the movement of the mind with the flame of total attention, noticing the aliveness of life in its continuous flow.

Without the light and serenity provided by attention, nothing can be understood in a real way.

In the light of attention, any reaction of the mind, the thought, an image, fear, desire, which functions chaotically, obsessively, and dominates us, is instantly dissolved.

In the psychological void that follows, a new mind appears, expanding into infinity as a state of pure consciousness, pure understanding, as well as transformative action.

When lucid attention is our constant companion we light the path of our life and through this light all the residues which degrade us morally and spiritually are dissipated.

It also offers us the moral capacity

to not commit other errors.

Therefore, our whole work consists of watching and listening to each wandering thought, each murmur of thinking, each desire, each fear as they attract us into the thicket of time.

This perfect encounter of attention makes them disappear and in the psychological emptiness ensuing spontaneously we have a pure consciousness integrated into boundlessness.

With a lucid and all-encompassing attention the mind is enlightened disappearing instantly as well as its whole movement.

In the void that ensues

Peace and utter silence regenerate the body.

Lucid attention is the only instrument we use continuously in order to empty our mind, as well as to determine it to become silent in humbleness.

When the ego is exposed, watched totally, as it really is, does it last?

Does it keep moving?

finally the ego perishes the sacred becomes free it returns to the source where it becomes integrated thus self-knowing loses its purpose

Without self, what is there to know?

In silence, a new mind, immense, boundless, accompanied by pure energy and light, envelops our whole being.
