08/20/97 2:37 PM When we use introspection we are illuminated withing and without, and in a position to know our own

mind. To know our mnd is to obtain liberation. To obtain liberation is to obtain samadhi of prajna, which is thoughtlessness. What is thoughtlessness? Thoughtlessness is to see and to know all things with a mind free from attachment. When in use it pervades everywhere, yet it sticks nowhere. What we have to is to purify our mind, so that the six aspects of consciousness, in passing through the six sense organ gates,, will be neither defiled not attached to the six sense objects. When our mind works freely, without any hindrance, and is at liberty to come or to go, we attain samadhi of prajna, or liberation. Such a state is called the function of thoughtlessness. Todays early realization has to do with the functioning of the internal sign reality, in the realm of pure consciousness, rather than only in the region of sensory perception. To be more precvise and more specific; feelings may well be the guiding signs that direct us with transcendental intuitive superconscious divine intelligence, as to where our consciousness itself is attracted - and not only a means for acting with out bodies. It is one thing to act without logical analytical deliberation which is a hindrance and an obstcale of confinement (and attachment) when it comes to the realm of sensory perception - like acting to eat when we feel hunger (the functioning of prajna superconsious divine intuitive intelligence as it sets up signs posts to guide us), or like acting (or is it not-acting) to rest and prepare for sleep when we feel tired. To go for a walk when we feel like it. To prepare food when we feel like it. To be in contact with other human beings when we feel like it. To be alone and enjoy peace and quiet when we feel like it. To wash our bodies when we

feel dirty. To put on clothing when we feel we need to because we are cold or need to be protected from the thorns when we walk. It is one thing to do that - to act freely without logical analytical deliberation of whether we should do as we are directed by the signs of prajna when it comes to our bodies and the realm of sensory perception. It is another thing to do the same when it comes to the nonsensory. For example, if I become aware that I am conscious of the Internal Revenue Service interfering in my life and putting liens on my bank account, and perhaps coming to this house and confiscating all or most or some of the household goods that are here, or of filing charges against me a court of law, and if I feel repelled by this type of conscious vision; then what I know is that I am feeling reprelled from continuing to entertain this type of conscious vision. This my well be the wisdom of divine intuitive prajna superconscious intelligence guiding consciousness somewhere else. Like a fork in the road perhaps. Prajna says dont go that way to the IRS vision, go this other way. So I look and I dont see the other trail at first. Then I become aware that there maybe a faintest hint of a trail but its not very well defined but there is a clear way for at least a short distance between the large rocks and thirn bushes and obstacles. So I take that immediate path that seems to be a clear path that seems to attract me. This is the use of prajna perhaps, to liberate consciousness. What about when it comes to disturbances that are very close. Like banging noises in the kitchen or another person actingdirectly upon my senses of vision, hearing and perhaps even the tactile sense by touching me, abusing me with words, getting into my space with visual sensation or even violent physical actions to my body. On the surface it certainly appears to be a much more difficult task to remain aware of the functioning of prajna at times like these. Yet the principle is the same. If a consciousness of the

interfering persons disturbances feels like it repels, then go with the repulsion and see where prajna attracts. There is always a trail for conciousness to follow and it doesnt have to be confined or restrained by the obstacles that appear. It should be easy to experience this in a place like this. In fact, I look back over the last few weeks and I see that this is what I have been experiencing. When I feel repulsion and disturbances, consciousness seeks out a path to free itself from the confinement and acts according to the feeling. And it finds such ways always. Now lately, the ways it has found to act out the feeling of repulsion and attraction are beginning to loose their attraction. The ways that consciousness went no longer seem to be as attractive. So it seems that new ways are to be sought. New trails for consciousness to go. And one cannot plan ahead for things like this because prajna acts directly and spontaneously. Right now prajna attracts consciousness this way. To write about this early realization of Wednesday, August 20th, 1997. I find that there are certain types of regions of consciousness that attract and others that dont and it keeps changing. Somewhat like walking along a mountain trail. Some places seem more attractive than others and there may be a resemblance between them but even though there is resemblance doesnt mean it is the same place. Like a stream crossing or a grove of trees in a protected hollow. At times like this (08/20/97 3:11 PM) I become aware of a superconscious divine intelligence revealling itself to me in the form of a series of connected realizations. As I recall it lead from the idea of pure liberation that begam before while in Green River where the feeling arose that another place was attracting me. Then I came to Crestone Creek and have found indeed that this is the place and that I am close to the traget even if I am now feeling attracted to yet another physical

location close by - perhaps on Cottonwood Creek or Spanish Creek or Willow Creek or Dead Horse Creek or North Crestone Creek or some other creek. Then there were particulars of this new expanded freedom limited by the conduct of the jailer. Painting, writing, sitting. Music. Pictures. Reading. It has been hard to see the trail because of the habits of attachment, confinment, fixation
