Trust-Hone-Open: The Basic Siidhi Axioms
These are the three basic axioms of the Siidhi:
Trust your feelings, but do not rely upon them solely.
Hone your mind, but do not cling to logic.
Open your senses, but do not define your comprehension by them.
Today, we will consider the third of these.
True perception can be recognized by its relationship to compassion. Although the unbiased input of raw sensation may generate profound awareness and a sense of immersion, in its torrential influx, it overwhelms understanding and will mislead the heart with superficiality and delusion. Unlike raw sensation, which so misleads impression and feeling, true perception enhances these expressions of the heart, granting them both instant awareness and observational clarity of interpersonal significance.
Likewise, true perception can be recognized by its relationship to reason. Although the unbiased input of raw sensation may ensure attention and focus its aim, in its torrential influx, it supersedes reason and will congest the mind with false impression and mercurial feeling. Unlike raw sensation, which so bombards the mind and comprehension, true perception broadens and deepens these contemplations of being, granting them both thorough differentiation and observational clarity of perceptual interrelationship.
True perception is a broad window of enlightened sensation that leads one to the awareness of all that exists; but alone, it is without understanding or reliable comprehension in the moment. When combined with deep compassion and sound reason, perception shines upon the moment and its revelations may be presented with confidence.
It is because of this, that the Siidhi say "Open your senses, but do not define your comprehension by them".
