What does it feel like to be me right now prior to any thought?

What's here now when there's no problem to be solved?

What is the quality of this moment before I have a thought about it?

Write this on a flashcard.

Post that on a blank wall, empty canvas, and/or sky ceiling.

Begin the Flashcard of Wordless Insight the moment you wake up.

May I practice out of love for myself,

with a desire to know the Truth,

for the benefit of all beings.

The five fingers are the same fingers you've had since you were a baby.

Just like parts of a movie, each of the five fingers are acts you are constantly performing, whether you realize it or not.

When you do realize it, it's the core that pulsates the feeling of being yourself.

Whereas if you don't, there's an overflowing sensation of being in a movie without realizing you're watching a movie in the first place.

In doing so, being in a movie will focus your attention in the foreground while keeping everything else in the unfocused blur of the periphery background.

It's not that the background has disappeared, it's just that your awareness is directed towards an object of interest, i.e., an actor, a baby's hand, your hand.

What is it then when you see your hand in the foreground and include the background as well?

This is the power of the baby hand, the performance of the Five Acts occurring through you since you were an infant.

And recognizing this is what brings about an intuitive feeling of the Nameless baby in you that is timeless regardless of your given birth name.

Essentially, you didn't learn your name as a baby yet, you were Nameless in experiencing the beauty of life as it is, like the inner feeling at recess of being yourself.

The Nameless essence is in you right now, if you allow it to be.

Instead of identifying with your name as the locus of selfhood, let's go through your five fingers that revert back to the baby essence of what you are.

The ongoing performance of the Five Acts consists of:

index  -  Creation

middle -  Preservation

ring   -  Reabsorption

pinky  -  Forgetting

thumb  -  Remembering

The pinky finger is the grounds to why one is forgetting the Nameless nature in themself, thereby accidentally identifying their name as the foundation of who they are.

By inviting space, it is the grace of the thumb in remembering the Nameless baby in you, the feeling of being your Self, witnessing the movie of your mind was in a Self-concealed state all this time.

It's kinda like looking at clouds, though instead of being attached to the clouds, what you are is the blue sky that makes it possible to experience the creation and preservation of clouds to begin with.

Once the reabsorption of clouds dissolve back into the sky, the mind is in the act of forgetting, hiding the Real you in the unfocused periphery background of the blue sky itself.

By remembering to put a thumbs up and giving space to let everything be as it is, a sensation will come out of the blue to uncover something infinite that cannot be described in words and is only felt.

It is the Nameless baby and, that is You!

Stay tuned Aware Being.

P.S. One mnemonic way to remember the Five Acts is applying CPR-FRiend with your fingers.

Wake up a friend to feel alive with the clouds of the Undying blue sky for the benefit of all beings.

I = Intimate Fusion

E = Energetic Thoughts

The essence-nature of what you are is radiantly meaningless.

You know, it's the life moments of seeing without any thoughts and narratives impacting your present experience.

It's not thoughts themselves that hide your true nature.

It's the identification with Energetic Thoughts that conceal the real you.

Thoughts are simply interpretations to represent the universe we live in, not the beliefs of those interpretations as the Heart of what you are.

The core of what-you-are is like a vast endless sea and your thoughts are waves appearing as flavors of emotions.

When one believes the waves only exist, it causes one to live in conditioned cycles of subconscious programming.

Only when one is in recognition that the sea is what creates the waves, the subconscious programming of Energetic Thoughts dissolve away.

The sea is just a metaphor to point to a space of Intimate Fusion, the nameless and timeless substance of what-you-are moving throughout the times.

Even intellectually thinking about Intimate Fusion creates additional Energetic Thoughts, giving rise to more wavelike mental constructs.

By becoming disinterested in Energetic Thoughts, watching thoughts as they are without grasping or pushing them away, a veil will uncover a nonconceptual moment of seeing.

The moment of seeing is your true Heart center, the mirror-like oceanic substance with boundless possibilities for waves to arise and subside (i.e., an Intimate Fusion of your essence-nature that encompasses Energetic Thoughts).

In doing so, I Before E, Accept After Sea is a mnemonic expression to remember there are infinite moments to truly see the real you.

If you're agitated with Energetic Thoughts, be Intimate Fusion with the context of space before that which surrounds the content of thoughts.

When you sit with it, I before E conceptually dissolves to shine a flash of wordless insight, only when you become intimate with what is.

In any moment just after, see what you are has always been, and always will be, the never-ending pulsation of the Sea itself.

Stay tuned Aware Being.

O Mother,

I See,

Be the Womb of the Golden-Eye Sea,

I See,

O Mother!
