Modes
of Intention, Attention
and
Awareness
Two
modes of the natural state
- Child Awareness* (rigpa, zero dimensional)
- Mother Awareness** (rigpa, zero dimensional), Child Awareness united with Mother Awareness
*Child
Awareness: State of pure awareness related only with one's personal
bodymind. When tapped in full equals with the Open Heart-definition
of a fully attained arhat, perfection of bhumis 1-6. Subtly
dualistic.
**Mother
Awareness: State of pure awareness related with one's personal and
the larger energy body, extending beyond one's personal aura. When
tapped in full equals with the Open Heart-definition of a buddha,
perfection of bhumis 1-10. Nondualistic.
Two
modes of mindfulness that disregards the natural state
- Intention or concentration without Awareness* as the base
- Attention (three-dimensional) without Awareness** as the base*neither Child or Mother Awareness
*Training
in one-pointed concentration where an object is used as a support to
one's shamatha meditation that simultaneously disregards
three-dimensional space and the natural state or awareness.
Dualistic.
**Training
in effort-based attention applied to three-dimensional space such as
in space gazing which disregards the natural state or awareness.
Dualistic.
Two
modes of mindfulness that takes the smaller natural state into
account
- Intention or concentration with Child Awareness as the base
- Attention (three-dimensional) with Child Awareness as the base
*Training
in one-pointed concentration where an object is used as a support to
one's shamatha meditation that simultaneously does not disregard
three-dimensional space or the natural state, that is, awareness.
Subtly dualistic.
**Training
in effort-based attention applied to three-dimensional space such as
in space gazing which does not disregard or exclude the natural
state, that is, awareness. Subtly dualistic.
Two
modes of mindfulness that takes the full natural state into account
- Intention or concentration with Mother Awareness* as the base
- Attention (three-dimensional) with Mother Awareness** as the base
*Application
of one-pointed concentration from within the fullness of the natural
state, or Mother Awareness. Nondualistic.
*Application
of three-dimensional attention from within the fullnes of the natural
state, or Mother Awareness. Nondualistic.
