How To Live Completely In The Moment

It lives completely in the present, and perceives nothing more than what is at this moment. – Alan W. Watts

consciousness!

Our ‘primary consciousness’ only knows the present. Our mind generates thoughts about everything. That generation of thoughts takes us away from the primary moment which is now.

thoughts!

Our thoughts try to continually process what has already happened or try to predict what might happen. When we drop into fully experiencing what’s going on especially with our full mind, body and soul, thoughts disappear. The essential trick to being fully present is to be able to control the generation of thoughts…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM experiencing what’s going on!

Why Can’t We Be Happy Now?

If to enjoy even an enjoyable present we must have the assurance of a happy future, we are “crying for the moon.”  – Alan W. Watts

future now

We can’t be happy now because we want our future to be happy. We dwell in that future. We lose now. We can’t truly be happy now because we’re ever anxious about our future.

no guarantees

We live in a world of constant change. Nothing about the future can be guaranteed. We’re incapable of knowing much about the future. Our only choice then, is to embrace now, be happy now, right now…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM happy, now…

Quotes - 2014

Don’t Like Your Life?

Step #1 for changing the entire world, is falling in love with it as it already is. Same for changing yourself. There’s no step #2.  – The Universe

circumstances

We all experience circumstances that are not ideal for us. Many of us hate our jobs. How can we improve things? How can our life be better?

love what is

Like begets like. So if we love everything about today then that ‘happiness’ vibration is repeated into future aspects of our lives. The real trick to a happier future is to be happy now!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM happy, period!

Why Perspective Matters…

Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity to heal.  – A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

the small picture

We’re head-deep into maya, or what we may call the ‘small picture’. Our view and experience is extremely circumscribed. We’re boxed in by our culture, our country, our gender, our thoughts (assumptions/biases) and by matter itself. What’s the divine purpose behind this setup?

the big picture

Only by glimpsing the big picture can we hope to feel better about all that goes on in our lives and around the world. That glimpse is more easily caught when we believe in a Creator in whom we have faith. Faith and hope are the vehicles which can bring us peace in the current moment. Once we find that peace then healing (of any sort) can start to take place. And only then can we glimpse Life’s purpose…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM hopeful!

Why Be Fearless?

Of one thing you may be sure: The Father does not send affliction as an arbitrary punishment for wrongdoing.  – The Urantia Papers (148:5.3)

retribution?

The Universe does not punish. God is not petty, he’s God. He’s created it all, imagine his wisdom. He’s our parent, imagine his love for us. The laws of the Universe may not be transgressed. So if we decide to jump off a cliff we’ll probably die. We suffer the consequences of the choices we make.

feel safe

We should feel safe. A personage (or power) that can create everything must be capable of tracking everything that goes on in that reality. We were created in love and are guided by that same love. The trick is to allow that love to flow through us. Life then becomes a cinch. It really is that simple, at least in concept!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM feeling safe!

How To Be Renewed!

May the rain wash away your worries, may the breeze blow new strength into your being.  – Apache Blessing

blessings

Blessings are being showered upon us wherever and whenever we pay attention. It’s all in how we view life and its gifts.

rain

God’s love rains on us constantly. If we receive this love we are renewed just like the planet. We’re then able to give to others what we didn’t have.
