Our minds move from one subject to another, from one level of consciousness to another...often...when we are awake just as when we sleep. We always have the opportunity to see right where we actually are. That might sound like an easy thing to determine, but often, we are not as aware of where we are as we might think.
The opportunity to stop...... in one moment........look around..........see what you see exactly as it is....
....and say, "This is Life in its perfection." How do you feel as you say that? Now please realize this is not the same thing as reviewing everything we think about the things we are seeing or remembering and then saying "that" is perfect.
Just now......just now.....right now..."what in this moment lacking? " In this exact moment....not in 10 minutes or tomorrow or yesterday or even 15 minutes ago........but this moment. What is lacking in this moment?
As you speak those words, your mind is blank......and you can feel yourself shift. You are actually shifting from one awareness to another, one level of consiousness to another.
Remember that the mind cannot grasp this level of awareness. So when you feel you are having a "hard" time getting there, you can be sure you are trying to understand it, think about it...adjust it, figure it out...instead of just being with it. This level is not "in time"...is not an object of our consciousness. It is just a few seconds of "no time".....or we could say of eternity. Eternity is not time that goes on for forever, eternity is outside of time.... it is "no time". .
Some may say that they are focused on the present moment and that this moment for them is bad and they are unhappy and to think otherwise is to deceive themselves. The future may be better and they are trying to be slightly hopeful. If this is you...you really think you are focused in the present but you are actually still focused on the past. Something did not turn out as you wanted it to (large or small, it doesn't matter) and you haven't accepted that and the hope it will be better tomorrow is not being present either. So you are missing this moment....
...You are living your life behind a "screen of mind"...of thoughts that have obscured this moment. This screen separates you from others and from yourself and from the joy of our own being. It separates you from the beauty that is present all around you.
This moment....now...is here....this is perfection..... this is perfection.
Not your commentary on it, not your interpretations or even your labeling of it........no words...just look… breathe...it is......
Go ahead.....try it right now......ride the wave....say "Yes!"...
.....it couldn't be any other way....see it all unfold before you in its perfection.
It is so beautiful...it doesn't matter if you forgot about it all day...if you have been in forgetfulness for a minute or a month .....each moment is new...and you can, at any moment....be here...:) smile...breathe......
