Basically, there is nothing at all to do ... besides simply allowing our mind to be, without having to do anything. This is entirely against our usual habits. Our normal tendency is to think, “I want to do this. I want to do that.” Then we actually go do it. Finally, we feel happy and satisfied when it’s all neat, all completed, accomplished all by ourselves. But that attitude is totally wrong ... There is nothing whatsoever to do. We don’t have to construct what is unformed. Anything we try to do becomes an imitation, something made up by our thoughts and concepts.
Quintessential Dzogchen: confusion dawns as wisdom by Tulku Urgyen
A place and a time for everything.
Let everything be in its place. There is nothing to do, nothing that can be done to affect any change in "Reality" or "Big Mind" or "Buddhanature" or "Consciousness". Stuff just happens. Physics and time.
Just notice.
