Living In The Present Moment Is All There Is!
What does living in
the present moment mean, it’s all about merging the past, the present and the
future together into one singular continuum which is the here and now.
We must then realize
that living in the moment then is all there is to life and nothing more or
less.
Accept Everything Around You!
First, we must realize
and accept that everything around and within us will always be constantly
changing. Lasting and unchanging peace can never be found in outer objects,
current affairs, weather patterns, or within our bodily sensations, emotions or
thoughts.
These are constantly changing and offer no lasting stability or
peace. Everything around and within us will always be constantly changing
The Mind Seeks Peace!
Second, we must
realize and accept how our mind is constantly seeking peace, but is usually
looking in all the wrong places.
Unchanging peace is
not to be found in any inner or outer place, person, or thing. When we truly
understood this to be true, only then are we poised to inquire and realize the
truth of lasting peace.
Here we are ready to
ask, “Is there something, then, that doesn’t change, that offers us unchanging
stability, peace and equanimity; that is unshakable, no matter our changing
circumstance?”
Are You Ready To Discover Your Divinity!
Third, the question
now is: “Are you ready to give up seeking for peace in outer objects,
circumstances, and people, or in some future time and place?
Are you willing to
find peace right now, in this moment, for this moment is truly all there is?”
If we are truly
concerned about realizing peace, then it is this moment that we should be
concerned about, for here, in this moment, as in every moment that follows, is
where we find true peace.
Are
you your thoughts, your habitual thinking or are you simply this great divine
essence which is pure light and love.
You
mostly identify with your thoughts as you making these thoughts which doesn’t
serve you in the long run. You derive your sense of identification or sense of
self from the activities of your mind.
You
believe everything you think is in your best interest and would die if you
stopped thinking.
Change Your Old Perception!
When
you were growing you formed a mental picture of who you are based upon your
perception and sense of self at that time all based on your personal and
cultural conditioning at that time.
This
mental picture that you took on as yourself became the life sustaining
principle in your life and a ghost or phantom you weren’t even conscious that
existed and was in charge and ruling your life and reality.
It
is basically the mind activities created and controlled by the subconscious
mind and kept running by your emotional and mental activities, your thoughts
and emotions.
It Is The Unconscious Identification With
The Mind!
It
is the false self which is created by the subconscious mind to keep you safe
and secured form what it terms “threats” irrespective of whether its own
narratives are right or wrong.
To
the Ego, the present moment does not exist, there is only the past and the
future. There is no here and now.
Soul
which is the divine beingness which is your true identity only lives in the
now. It doesn’t know the past nor the future.
This
reversal of the truth shows how in the “ego mode”, the mind is dysfunctional
and not on the true path of soul.
The
Ego would do anything and everything to keep the past alive so that you remain
caught up in the intricate web of the past filled with illusion of what is not
and what will not be.
It
keeps the future alive in any way it can so that should you escape the past
then you are suddenly caught up in the intricate web of future events that has
not happened yet.
This
it does to ensure its survival and remove the need for the you to discover who
you truly are at the core of your being.
It
brings the false sense that “someday when something happens in a particular
way, you will be ok and at peace and everything will be alright”. That is a
great deception as everything happens in the now.
Even
when it seems as if the Ego is concerned with the present moment, because of
its wrong narratives from the false self-created, it misperceives it completely
as it looks from the eyes of the past or the future and never the present which
is truly where you are.
It
reduces the present moment to a means to an end – the end being in the mind
projected future it has conjured up and not necessarily what is before it
thereby losing the truth of what it means to be living in the present moment.
Total Surrender Is The Key!
What
it means to just surrender totally to divine essence that created you and in
surrender without trying to change anything or will thing to be as you want
rather than as they should be.
In
that moment, you will see the uniqueness and the unity in all life and you
watch life and nature rearrange itself for your benefit always for the good of
the whole.
You
see how everything shows up for you to create what’s best for you as you learn
the lesson you need to correct the mindset that has created these unwanted
realities that the mind tries to shield you away from acting in the capacity to
shield and protect you.
I
would love to hear from you or your thoughts on this post, please drop us a
line.
In
closing, i believe the wisdom below will serve you in life:
“Thank
you God, for this beautiful day today. Help me to always see your love
reflected in each and every moment, no matter how challenging life may be.
Remind me to always look to my heart for the LESSONS and BLESSINGS in life”.

Voice Dart!
These
words of Inspirations from the enlightened ones will serve you even more:
“I
wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light
of your own being”.
Hafiz
“Within
you is the light of a thousand suns, within you is unimaginable beauty”.
Robert
Adam
“Don’t
you know it yet, it is your light that illuminates the worlds”.
Rumi
“I
am the light of the world. You are the light of the world”.
Jesus
“Your
heart is the light of the world, don’t cover it with your mind”.
Mooji
Taking
responsibility and recognizing that we cause all of our core issues is not a
reality for most people.
Taking
responsibility to see life differently without justification, judgement and
blame, rejection or anxiety, fear or anger would really help you in the long
run.
Every
condition, disease or disorder is a spiritual condition that has come up for
review and to be dealt with and taken care of. Once the lesson is truly learnt
and absorbed, the conditions or situation reverses itself and clears out and
that’s when we say a healing has occurred and a miracle has happened.
Every
problem preludes a negative thought and mindset so watch your thoughts and
emotions carefully and guard them jealously.
Nothing
can stop you if you have the courage, commitment and the discipline to move
through your limitations.
‘Let
yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love’
The
purpose of life is to discover who you really are, know and create yourself and
experience yourself as who you really are (not the body that houses you) as a
part of the divine source to give and receive love and serve all creatures of
the divine.
As
long as you don’t or you refuse to see yourself as a victim then life becomes a
challenge that you can overcome with commitment and consistent work and it will
pay you back handsomely.
A
lesson you avoided in a past life will be forwarded to the current life until
you get the lesson right or understood the reason for it. Each time the lesson
is more intense, than the last experience until you recognize it.
This
is an interactive universe where we all work together in each other’s lessons
and life whether we want it or not or whether we are aware of it or not.
Our
fears always surface when we least expect it and when it does, its better to
face the lesson and conquer it.
You
can take back control of your life and drive it the way you would rather want
it to be and have things and have things the way you want it to be.
It
takes taking responsibility for all the wrongs that have happened in your life
because whether you agree or not, you are held responsible for all your:
1. THOUGHTS
2. WORDS
3. ACTION
Nobody
wants to listen to your cry of wolf or denial or victim mentality and it won’t
take you far except you sit still, take stock of your life and determine and
desire to turn it around and that’s where and when the answers or solutions
come in.
If
and when you are now truly ready to take back control and look out for the
patterns and lessons in your life to understand the mind aberrations that are
causing your problems and have taken control of your life.
That’s
when the creative centers open within and you can finally have the tools to
help you change the course of your life and manifest your destiny.
To
succeed in life, you must refuse to see yourself as a loser no matter what the
prevailing situation or condition might be and you evaluate what you can do to
succeed.
The
most important qualities are self-esteem, self-worth and self-confidence and
that you understand that you are entitled to abundance in your life.
You
can do anything you want to and be anything you want to, provided you believe
that it is possible.
Victims
do not hold that belief!
So
ask yourself – are you a victim?
Sometimes
a little help from a Therapist or Mental Health Consultant like myself and a
host of others can help guide you on this journey into an amazing life that is
yours and yours only.
