And so, we don't have to contrive our way into any particular state. We don’t need to achieve some better experience, secure some other moment that’s somehow clearer, more awakened or whatever. No, this moment, exactly as it is, is already the clear seeing. The moment appears in perfect clarity. The appearance of the moment is its clarity, the clear presence of whatever appears. Whether what’s appearing is being described as exhaustion, confusion, disappointment or contentment, it appears in and as perfect clarity, the clarity of what is.
