Most revolutions throughout history have been loud, turbulent affairs,
full of proclamations, struggles, and outward change.
Today, however,
I invite you to a quieter revolution,
one that transforms from within, with no proclamations, no struggles,
but with an undeniably transformative power.
Three breaths.
That’s all it takes to initiate one of the most profound revolutions possible—
the revolution of being present.
The first breath invites you to recognize.
This is an acknowledgment that in this moment,
despite the countless distractions pulling at your attention,
you are here.
The second breath invites you to settle.
As you rest more fully in being present,
the mind’s habitual momentum begins to slow.
The narrative of becoming,
that persistent sense that fulfillment lies somewhere else,
in some future state, momentarily suspends.
The third breath invites you to open.
With the settling of mental activity,
a self-aware spaciousness reveals itself—
not created by your effort but uncovered by your willingness to not become,
to not reach, to not solve.
Three breaths.
So simple that the mind might dismiss their significance.
What makes the three-breath pause so revolutionary is
not that it introduces something new but that
it interrupts the hypnotic momentum of unconscious living.
In these three breaths,
you temporarily step out of the stream of becoming,
the stream of reaching, the stream of solving, and
recognize the completeness of just Being.
This may seem insignificant considering the ongoing global events and
personal challenges you may be facing.
But
they can be the seed of a profound transformation, a profound awakening.
When was the last time you allowed yourself this simple yet profound gift?
Not as a preparation to something else, not as a means to calm down or
prepare for what’s next, but
as a complete act in itself, an act of remembrance and presence?
~
Upon waking, before meals, during transitions between activities,
in moments of challenge or celebration, before sleep—
three conscious breaths can serve as doorways to your true nature.
Will you join this revolution, today?
The only manifesto here is one that says:
breathe and be present.
The invitation is always open, and
the doorway is closer than your next breath.
To make sense of this senseless world… Deepen your Practice…
then you’ll be a good position to be the Evolutionary and heal the world….
Join the The Silent Revolution~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A contemplation of Av Neryah’s the Silent Revolution by rog…
with comparisons to Dzogchen
“Three Doors” insights, and the “9 Breaths of Purification”.
The ‘Three Doors’… practice is simple:
One connects with their
Inner Stillness…
Find that groove that you can’t move, don’t want to move…
Yet there is a flow to it…
It becomes easy to effortlessly stay with ‘one pointed awareness’.
Beyond this door is:
The door to Inner Silence.
Silence, it’s said to be,
the language God speaks.
When you hear the wordless Wisdoms after the
Parvastha ‘After Glow’ of Insight meditation…
Beyond this door… Is
The Boundless Space experienced when
the Three Doors have been opened and experienced.
This is the sequence that brings about the groove one must acquire
to refine a ‘one-pointed awareness’ long enough
to achieve the higher Jhana states of consciousness.
While abiding in the Inner refuge of the ‘Three Doors’…
“9 breaths of purification” can further deepen
the revolutionary experience of being present.
This is practically the same practice as Advaita Vedanta’s
alternative nostril breathing.
A practice that starts with the breath…
And flows inseparably with the ‘Life force’ of Prana
as it cycles up one side channel and down the other,
then up the central channel … and out the crown chakra.
With the first set of three breaths,
we clear the obstacles of anger, releasing through the right white channel.
With the second set of three breaths,
we clear obstacles of attachment, releasing them through the left red channel.
With the third set of three breaths,
we clear obstacles related to the root poison, ignorance, and release doubt and
lack of confidence through the central channel.
These ‘9 breaths of purification’ will serve as
doorways to your true nature.
At the end of the ‘nine breaths’…
Rest in Open Awareness – Rigpa…
“I Am”… Your True Nature…
The ever-present moment of just…
Being.
——————–
This is a good start to deepen your concentration meditation towards
the effortless ‘Insight’ meditations and completely lose the sense of
there even being a ‘self’ that has been ingrained to feel like the part of ‘us’
that ‘we’ assume is in control.
There becomes a point in which a ‘disembodied’ feeling permeates the experience.
If you have spent earnest time with the basic concentration meditations…
There comes an inspiration to just …
Surrender.
But at first,
You don’t how or what or when to … surrender.
This is where the meditation that requires strong focused effort…
Somehow,
This flows into an ‘effortless’ flow.
Kind of like riding a wave.
Swim with too much effort …
And you’ll out swim the wave.
Swim too slow… the wave overtakes you.
Your surrender must be complete.
Often,
Just three breaths will do the earnest aspirant a fast track to
maintaining a ‘center’…
The depth of Equanimity begins to feel… Spacious…
In order to transcend to higher stages…
One must arrange a way to achieve, maintain, and deepen
their ‘one-pointed awareness’ long enough to ‘surrender’ to the flow state…
quicker, and deeper.
Life and the stories we create will go on…
But,
Compartmentalize and prioritize…
Put it all in a groove…
Think Equanimity…
Stay with that ‘now moment’.
Each breath is a reminder…
to find your center.
~
Three breaths can take you to The Silent Revolution.
Recognize.
Settle.
Open.
This can then be refined down to one breath.
“Soham”… “I Am”
On the in breath
Sooo
On the out breath
Huuummmm
Then down to one syllable.
Ohm.
Expand that syllable to three un-separated sounds.
AuughOoooMmmmm….
Then…
Just… Be.
No mantra, no words, no syllables…
Even the breath is barely subtle.
The ‘cosmic raft’ has departed.
Let it flow.
Become an Evolutionary…
