Unconditional Inheritance

Wakeful presence is always with us whether we notice it or not. We don’t have to cook it up, make it better, or hold on to it. In fact, we can’t do any of those things, because wakeful presence is unconditional — it’s our inheritance from the heart of the universe.

Our Basic Nature

Our most deeply entrenched habit is to identify ourselves with changing conditions — especially the ones we call I, me, or mine. And, we take them personally. But by training to shift our sense of identification, our loyalty shifts to our capacity for being conscious of present circumstances, and we rediscover our basic nature — wakeful presence.
