Simplicity is the effortless capacity for immediate presence. It is so simple that we actually don’t want to believe this is the case.
A very helpful analogy that we can use, to explore effortlessness, is vision.
If we look around, like a camera mind, how much effort does it take to look ? We try to see what is in front of you. Things are already happening, it doesn’t need willpower. Everything is there, no struggle.
Maybe we have to struggle a bit to focus the beam of awareness on an object, that might take an effort, but seeing, it’s already happening.
Listen to Jeff speak about simplicity during the retreat of Summer 2025.
