In case you do not know what is 'true nature' --

* The first quality of true nature is that it is inseparable
from awareness. Our true nature is inherently aware. This is the
fact of luminosity, the fact of light, the fact of consciousness.
We know this because when we experience any of the essential
manifestations, we recognize that Being is (delete in) inseparable
from some kind of awareness, sensitivity, in-touchness, or
consciousness. Awareness is not something in addition to true
nature; it is an inherent and inseparable characteristic of true
nature, the way heat is inherent in and inseparable from
fire.
* The second characteristic of true reality is that this field of
awareness, this field of presence, is pervasive and infinite, and
includes everything within it. In fact, it is a oneness, an
indivisible unity. This is similar to the Buddhist notion of the
wisdom of equality or evenness. The fact that there are patterns
within the field does not mean there are discrete objects
The
field is all one consciousness with different patterns in different
places. So the entire soul is unitary as well. When we recognize
true nature and we lose the sense of boundaries, we recognize that
oneness pervades the whole universe. God has one mind.
* The third characteristic is that true nature is dynamic. Reality
is moving and changing all the time. This is obvious when you
notice that your perception of your inner experience or of the
whole world is not a snapshot; it is a movie. It is inherently in
a constant state of change and transformation. It is not a static
presence. This is related the Buddhist notion of the
all-accomplishing wisdom. Reality is a dynamic presence that is
always changing through shifts in the manifest patterns. In fact,
the presence of change is implicit in the fact of awareness;
without it, there is no awareness.
* The openness of true nature is its fourth characteristic.
Openness means an infinite number of possibilities open to be
anything, open to manifest as anything, unlimited in its potential.
This is the indeterminacy and inexhaustibility that we discussed in
the last chapter. Reality is always changing because its true
nature is completely open. This is the space dimension of our
Being: when you recognize true nature, you find it to be spacious.
In other words spaciousness is inherent in the presence that is
true nature. The whole universe is a deep mysterious nothingness,
openness, lightness, and complete absence of any heaviness. And
this very mysterious, delicate spaciousness has a luminosity
inherent in it, a glimmer, a radiance that gives it (delete a)
awareness of itself.
* The fifth major characteristic of true nature is that it is not
only awareness, oneness, dynamism, and openness, but also
knowingness. This is similar to the Buddhist notion of the wisdom
of discrimination, or the discriminating awareness of the Buddha.
It is inherent to essential presence that it is not only awareness
of presence but simultaneously the discrimination of the particular
quality of presence, such as Compassion or Peace. This knowingness
is inherent to presence, inherent to the awareness of presence.
