2nd Gate - what is the purpose and benefit of it?

[glance left]

I just alter my perspective...and focus on the pure awareness inherent in all the "actors" I see (including "me" !) and give my attention there. Amidst all these...shenanigans....iobs and people...all simply encapsulated awarenesses who, in order to be encapsulated and therefore dreaming, have to play these roles which are, perforce, silly simply because they don't really exist at the fundamental level of things. Amidst all these absurdities, there is a confluence of awareness that is exploring....and it is vast and intelligent and curious. And when I focus on this level of things....well, all my sense of morose despondency seems to dissolve. I can retank my joy..and then come back to the world of dreams with all its absurdity with renewed interest. I can dream again. The key, for me, is to retank at that level of pure joy...power....awareness...that is always there way down beneath no matter what is going on "up on the surface"...as frequently as is humanly possible
