不動心, “Unfettered mind”, phrase by Zen master Takuan Sōhō (沢庵宗彭, 1573-1645).
7 Steps to Manifestation
1. VISION - have an idea, image, dream, wish, picture of what you say you want. Having some initial concept or vision.
2. DESIRE - this goes hand in hand with the idea of excitement. The things that you see that you say you want must be accompanied by a strong energy, emotion. That energizes the vision. Pumps energy into it. Emotion = Energy in Motion. Strong, intense all consuming desire for the Manifestation of that reality.
3. BELIEF - you must know, explore, examine within yourself that you have the belief that it is POSSIBLE to manifest this thing. That you DESERVE this thing. Your beliefs are going to allow this thing to be possible. So get in touch with the idea of what you do believe, and find out what you would prefer to believe. Find out where the beliefs you had came from, why you insist (or have insisted) on maintaining them, why they have worked for you, why you are motivated to believe those definitions and determine in your imagination new definitions that are more representative of what you really desire. And then KNOW that those new beliefs are in effect, and that’s the 4th step…
4. ACCEPTANCE - you must totally accept yourself and the new belief as true, without question, without a shadow of a doubt. Just as you accepted the old belief. The first 4 steps are what you call, in effect, the
SET-UP. The last 3 are; Once you have the vision, the desire, the belief + accepted it totally, then you need…
5. The INTENTION - You must intend to manifest it. You can want something but not neccessarily intend it - with your will, with your focus to manifest it. It must be a conscious CHOICE. Not an effort, but a focus. This is also known as your conscious commandment of your reality. After that…
6. ACTION - you must act like you’re already in the state of that reality you want. You must BEHAVE as if the reality already exist in the present. You must do the things you would do in the way you would do them as if the reality already existed for you. You must GROUND all the vision, desire etc. in the actions that you do. So that your BEHAVIOR and YOUR BODY LANGUAGE are different than they used to be, and representative of the reality that you are now focused on. Rather than of the reality you no longer prefer. Because your body language is really telling what you believe you are capable of. And what you really believe exists for you at present. After you have build up that intense cloud of vision, that intense emotional desire, that crystal clear belief, after you have totally accepted that this is true for you, after you have focused your intention and have your actions to reflect it, you…
7. Absolutely, totally DETACH from any outcome at all. Allowance is the last step, you have to LET IT GO. Utterly, utterly!!UNCONDITIONALLY. That’s the power of paradox. You’re using the power of the paradox of the existence of creation. The dark and the light, both sides of the polarity. You have to have, in order to manifest anything, an absolute intensity of what you want - with absolutely NO EXPECTATION that it has to manifest at all. That’s the BALANCE STATE you need to be in for the manifestation to be EFFORTLESS. You have to let it go.

Holding a grudge keeps you trapped in negative emotions, thereby stopping you to move forward in life. You can feel the difference once you actually release grudges from your mind and heart.more on things we can learn from our pets
True Thusness, free of falsehood, is ever silent; Birthless, deathless, it is all pervasive. The realm of the buddhas is also thus; Essentially equal, not increasing or decreasing.
Just as ultimate reality has no limit, Is in all times yet is not therein, So is the realm of the Guide, Pervading all times without obstruction.
The nature of things is uncreate, unchanging, Fundamentally pure, like space: So also is the purity of nature of buddhas— Their fundamental nature is not a nature, is beyond being and non-being.
The nature of things is not in discussion, It is speechless, beyond speech, eternally quiescent. The nature of the realm of the Ten-Powered is also thus; No words can explain it.

The darkness of a thousand aeons is powerless
To dim the crystal clarity of the sun’s heart;
And likewise, aeons of samsara have no power
To veil the clear light of the mind’s essence.

Tilopa
Cierpienia piekieł, nie są wieczne, boskie szczęście, jest przemijające. Krótkotrwała i niepełna jest twoja mądrość. Jeśli jesteś przywiązany, odejdź na cmentarz. Jeśli jesteś przygnębiony, podnieś wysoko zwycięski sztandar. Niczego nie objaśniłem, niczego też nie ukazałem. Gdy ujrzysz dharmatę, posiądziesz królestwo będące dharmakają.
Intelekt nie jest w stanie dostrzec tego, co jest poza konceptualnym umysłem - nigdy nie zrozumiesz tego, co jest niestworzone poprzez analizowanie tego, co jest stworzone. Jeśli chcesz pojać to, co jest poza intelektualizowaniem i nie zostało nigdy stworzone, przyjrzyj sie swojemu umysłowi i spocznij w stanie nagiej świadomosci.
Jeśli przebywasz, przebywaj w centrum przestrzeni. Jeśli odpoczywasz, odpoczywaj na ostrzu oszczepu. Jeśli patrzysz, patrz jak słońce ze swojej orbity.
Nie ma niczego lepszego, niż działać zgodnie z tym. Rozpoznaj, iż wszystkie manifestacje są jak sen, wszystkie dźwięki w swej esencji są jak echo. Pozwól by umysł w swej esencji był nagi. Spraw by umysł i manifestacje nie były dwoma, a wówczas, wielki mistrzu czarów, posiądziesz nie mającą sobie równych aktywność.
