PRESENT INPUT

    All phenomenal events come and go, arise and fall away, appear and disappear.  Along with the apparent temporality of external events there is also the temporal nature of internal events such as feelings, emotions, and mental images and words.  These events, whether internal or external are nondual, as all occurs within consciousness itself.   All that can be apprehended is an act of attention.  When attention is lax and passive there is a lot of overlay or superimposed mental factors included in whatever event is being perceived.  We sense the objective event but because of the mental factors added to the perception we do not apprehend the truth of it.  This is what delusion is.  The more we can distinguish between clarity and cloudiness in our apprehensions the more we find our clarity and apperceptive powers.  The more we do this the more we learn about present input into the momentary perceptions we are sensitive to.  The more we become sensitive to these kinds of conditional structures, the less we are subservient to them.  Watch the show and learn.  Find the silent gap within all this conditioned mentality and remain present there, in that gap.
