There is much stuff that burdens - "pre-occupies" - our mind, and most of it has to do with the construction of who we think we are.

When we have emptied our mind of its clutter we can see not only things as they are, but also the underlying vastness.

Our mind often functions in a shared space. In that case it is not sufficient to empty the individual mind, but we need to find ways to extend the clearing to the collective mind as well.
