One of the things that’s important to know is that Effortless Being doesn’t mean stagnation; it doesn’t mean that we sit in an armchair and we’re just effortlessly being in the armchair all day, not being active. It’s realizing that we can function FROM Effortless Being, which is a completely different way of experiencing.

When we’re experiencing from the mind, it requires effort. The mind is always planning and focusing, and trying to draw certain things to us and push other things away.

However, with Effortless Being, there’s no duality so there is no attachment or aversion; everything’s just arising as it is.

What we have access to in Effortless Being is Infinite Intelligence. But it isn’t that infinite intelligence is something where we know everything; it’s that the infinite intelligence that’s innate within effortless being begins to play a part.

The way we access that is through our intuition.

When the mind isn’t functioning, then we tend to have certain things which just come to us without even trying. So, it’s more to do with just responding rather than trying to initiate all sorts of things.

It’s just being as little children because that’s how children are. Children aren’t planning, and they’re not thinking, “Well, I’ve got to do all these things today so that I’ll have some way to sleep tonight and have some food and have a bed to sleep in.” They just focus on playing.

That’s when life just becomes really joyful.

That’s really how Effortless Being is. Effortless Being is predominating far more in children than it is as people get older. This is because the mind creates all these dualistic concepts. It creates the sense of individuality and the personality, and then it builds that illusory self and all of the activity is to maintain it.

This isn’t present for young children. They’re just effortlessly being.
