other. Without leaving the objects of sense, you climb transcendent to the
stage of enlightenment.
But observation of mind can be deep or shallow; there is forced observation
and there is spontaneous observation. There is observation outside of sense
objects, there is observation within sense objects; there is observation that is
neither internal nor external, there is panoramic observation. With what
observation do you observe mind?
When observation is deep and illusion is cleared, then this is true emptiness.
Turning the light around is done not by the eyes but by the mind; the mind
is the eyes. After long persistence, the spirit congeals; only then do you see
the mind-eyes become clear.
When you observe mind and become aware of openness, thereby you
produce its vitality. When its vitality stabilizes, it becomes manifest, and
then you see the opening of the mysterious pass.
Gazing at the lower abdomen is external work. As for the inner work, when
the mind-eye comes into being, that alone is the true "elixir field."
The light you see before your eyes is rat-light, not the light of the tiger-eye
or dragon-vitality. The light of mind does not belong to inside or outside; if
you look to see it with the physical eyes, that is bedevilment.
