The Power Of Now
Identification with your mind
=
Compulsive Thinking
90% of thinking is useless
Free yourself from your mind
listening to the voice in your head
focus of your attention into the Now
Ego = deep-seated fear (1) and sense of lack (2)
(1)You don't need fear to survive / all fear is the ego’s.
The Ego’s Search for Wholeness
Another aspect of the emotional pain
deep - seated sense of lack or incompleteness
constant feeling of not being worthy or good enough
strive for something to feel more complete.
compulsive pursuit of ego - gratification
Pain
Cycles of life
essential for spiritual realization
this and conditiion can give pleasure and pain.
every pleasure contains the seed of pain
pain
pleasure
Sucess
Failure
High physical energy and creativity
Low physical energy and creativity
Dissolving the Pain-Body
Focus attention on the feeling inside you
Be interested in your reactions
Accept
transmuted through acceptance
the light of your presence
pain - body = deep pain = Deep Unconsciousness
Options
1) remove yourself from the situation
change it
3) accept it totally = surrender
No excuses . No negativity . No psychic pollution
Don’t judge or analyze
The moment you realize you are not present , you are present
Notice also how often your attention is in the past or future
Observer of what is happening inside you
Be present as the watcher of your mind (self-observation)
What’s going on inside me at this moment ?
What kind of thoughts is your mind producing ?What do you feel ?
Direct your attention into the body . Is there any tension ?
Psychological Time
Make the Now the primary focus of your life
be trapped in time = memory and anticipation
timeless state of consciousness
use time (past or future)
when you need to refer to it for practical matters
learning from the past so that we don’t repeat the same mistakes
Setting goals and working toward them
too much future
= unease , anxiety , tension , stress , worry, and
all forms of fear
You no longer depend on the future for fulfillment and satisfaction — you don’t look to it for salvation
steps to timeless
1
) first few glimpses of the timeless state of consciousness
2
) begin to move back and forth between the dimensions of time and presence
3
)increasing frequency you choose to have the focus of your consciousness in the present moment rather than in the past or future whenever you realize that you had lost the Now
too much past
= Guilt , regret , resentment , grievances , sadness , bitterness , and
all forms of nonforgiveness
Forgiveness is to offer no resistance to life
Unconsciousness
Ordinary Unconsciousness
people’s normal state
identified with your thought processes and emotion
run by the egoic mind
may not be easy to detect
Deep Unconsciousness
more acute and more obvious suffering or unhappines
pain - body has been triggered
pain-body and deep-pain
If you cannot be present even in normal circumstances, then you certainly won’t be able to stay conscious when something “ goes wrong ”
it is essential to bring more consciousness into your life in ordinary situations
focus on what you are doing and
fell the inner body
at the same time whenever possible
when you read or listen
when you are meditating
when you are consciously breathing
active listening to others
Whenever an answer, a solution, or a creative idea is needed
PORTALS INTO THE UNMANIFESTED
Feel the inner body
be intensely present
created through the cessation of thinking =disidentify from the mind
surrender to what is
Pay attention to the silence and empty space
Stay alert,
pay attention in everything around you
Negativity
imagining yourself becoming transparent to the external cause of the reaction
Somebody says something to you that is rude or designed to hurt. Instead of going into unconscious reaction and negativity, such as attack, defense, or withdrawal, you let it pass right through you.
Offer no resistance.
Resentment , hatred , self - pity , guilt , anger , depression , jealousy , and so on , even the slightest irritation
body = point of access into the realm of Being
feel the body from within / feel the life inside the body
focus of your attention away from thinking and direct it into the body
there can be no “salvation” in anything they do, possess, or attain.
