Contemplative indifference

A state in which a person's presence with things is through lack of interest, indifference, and this presence through a form of open emptiness is an awareness quite distinct from awareness through and in activities. There is increased awareness of things in their eventfulness. Increasingly the non-interest of the awareness and the non-interest of things, of whatever kind, becomes the sensed region of kinship. The very happening of awareness-with-things gains luminosity or audibility in this way. A sense of anonymous accord occurs, and if appropriated into on's other sensibilities, may grow into pervasive quality in one's usual consciousness. In this form of contemplation the person discovers that one kind of serenity happens with fantasies, things and people. Awareness in this case happens as a non-interfering region of acceptance which is not under normal intentional control. Happening resonates happening, and this resonance without subject or object is the serenity of contemplation.
