Читать книгу 70 Daily Reflections For Your Spiritual Awakening - Adrian Tanase - Страница 17

Drop the perception of events as being done one after another, thinking in a linear time fashion. Everything happens Now, in a continuous flow, in the present moment. Knowing this, the concept of time will dissolve at the mental level and there will be no difference between putting a glass of water on the table Here and Now and putting it on the same table the next day. You are always Here, and Now. Remember that when you wake up tomorrow, that it is still the same Now. Also keep in mind that in the present moment, nothing begins and nothing ends. Everything just is and manifests. The stillness and clear view that this insight gives you, allows you to live your life with presence or mindfulness and gives you no reason not to be joyful all the time. Presence or being Now manifests effortlessly when you surrender to what is, when you feel you really are a part of this world, when you love the world of form around you. If you can ride the wave of the present moment and be able not to attach to anything that comes up for at least 3 minutes, second after second, with other words not favoring some things and rejecting others, then you are starting to understand what the present moment feels like. This practice is very similar to practicing being humble, where you accept everything that comes your way with equanimity. So by not rejecting anything that is around you, by not rejecting the world of form, you will begin to feel more grounded and at peace with everything. A deep feeling of joyfulness and of belonging starts to manifest in your day. You also no longer depend on your past, or even your future, because you are Now, when everything is and manifests. Again, you do not depend anymore on past events and you do not imagine your future all the time, living in a dream-like state of mind. You are Now, you exist Now and try to make the best possible choices, as you ever did. Be present, the Now is one of the most precious gifts one may get in his lifetime.
