“Recollection”:
to “re-collect” memory;
to “re-collect” attention;to “re-collect” the Great Intention to aspire toward the Presence of God

Absorb-In

Drop back and rest in observing the arising and passing appearances of:

senses (physical and mental: sights/mental images, sounds/mental chatter, physical/emotional bodily sensation),
evaluative hedonic-tone (pleasant, unpleasant, neutral), and
mind states (roots of emotion, patterns of pulling-in/pushing-away)

within the centerless sphere of conscious awareness.

Tease-Apart

Then, “break up” or “tease apart” the sense of “self” by deconstructing these sensory, felt, and conceptualloci of identification across time: explore the “where”, “how”, “what”, and “when” of self-identification (for example: breaking up the sensations of the face/forehead, a pleasant/worried feeling, a mood or series of thoughts — “where am ‘I’ in all this?”)

See-Through

Notice that there is no permanent sense of “self” or permanent “object” left outside of these simple, transient, dependently-arising events in consciousness

“I-making” as “autopoiesis”: much like a living cell creates a boundary out of internal processes that condition and are conditioned by the boundary itself, the present always emerges out of the past and dissolves into the future

Make-Better

Without being taken in by the “sense of self” (as an independently existing “thing” separate from the processes that conditioned its arising), there is no “suffering-self”.From this open and free perspective (and even leading up to it), constructpatterns of positive propensities within the centerless sphere of mind(replacing less helpful or less wholesome patterns of thinking & feeling; again and again...)

listen to loving thoughts affirming the good in self and others
visualize skillful behaviors-in-action in the world
deeply and intentionally feel positive emotion in the body — find/create it, gently hold it, then lovingly radiate it through the entire body and the entire world

Do this enough, and these patterns will become habit — enduring beyond any intention to cultivate them.
