Everything is within thyself
The practice is a meditation on seeing and being. Stand and move the hands, then let them hang. Look down at the earth's gifts, then rise and look up. Look to the left, to the right, and to the front, observing all the many things present. Look up to scan the pure sky, then look down again at the earth. Close the eyes. Open them and look straight, left, right, down, and up. Realize that ultimately, there is no direction and no one—only "I am." This pure being is complete. Sit and perform this sequence five times. A five-minute morning practice establishes this awareness for the whole day. When you look and see everything, it is like leaves falling from a tree; that is what you are. Be thyself. Everything is within.
"Close your eyes. What you have and what you are looking at."
"And what have you seen? Who has given to you all good things, many things, but always coming differently?"
