The PRESENT
THE PRESENT – this very moment - the NOW - is all we have in which to live. To love. To do and to be.
Nothing more nothing less.
Just close your eyes and feel that. Really feel it. Stay with it.
Eckhart Tolle’s “A New Earth” was my bible for years since it’s release in 2005. That book came to me at a time when I needed it the most via of course, life’s synchronicities. I breathed and lived that book. But today I understand when they say that one only gets the meaning of what one reads depending on where they are. While I understood the the Power of NOW at so many levels, this point never really clicked. And when it finally did a little while ago.- Cool , 10 years later. Not too bad:) It blew me away with the profoundness of this simple statement.
“The key to transformation is to make friends with this moment. What form it takes doesn’t matter. Say yes to it. ALLOW IT. Be with it.“
– Eckarte Tolle
These are my AHA statements.
Life and time are not linear. It’s only on this plane that we experience it so. Why? Just for the joy of it! Enjoy the physical plane ride.:)
Life’s not a journey. There is no where to get to. Everything that is ever going to happen, has happened and will happen – will be IN THIS ONE PRESENT moment.
Your present moment is determined largely by the vibrations and frequency you hold yourself at consistently. Then why are we worrying about the past or future and mucking the waters of Present? No amount of logical planning can prepare you for a “painful” incident if you are not aware and aligned.
Rejecting anything in life literally translates in Universal language that we reject ourselves in our current moment.
Don’t like a situation? Hate something? Judging somebody or something? Comparing? Looking down upon somebody or something? All are rejections at different levels. Period.
Read my blog “Nature of Thoughts” for more clarity.
You have in that rejected the present moment and in turn your very own self.We are and will always be most powerful in the present moment. Choosing to live in the present and to create consciously results in what people call “Miracles”. They are just Us in our awareness and consciousness coming from a state of complete acceptance of the present and anticipating and creating more in joy.
Accepting the current moment no matter what it brings means we embrace life and it’s whole power. WE embrace the WHOLE ME.
Feel the “rightness and relief” in that statement?
PARADOX Alert: Enjoying of present moment while parallely having the so called angst and yearning of not getting it/there or wanting to move on is a paradoxical experience of the highest order IMO. 🙂
To completely love being where you are while concurrently looking forward excitedly to what’s to come or evolve is the imperative paradoxical state one must embody to experience life to the fullest. It’s a skill worth learning.
Watch your inner state honestly though!
The above state of excitement has to clearly NOT be founded in feelings of not wanting to be in particular stage and hoping to move on, accompanied with feelings of self judgement and thoughts that I should have got it already and/or let me be done with this stage as I am ready to move on.The butterfly loves itself no matter where or how it is. It knows change is inevitable and it’s transformation is natural. Meanwhile it basks in it’s cocoon as a caterpillar and when time is right, it enjoys the glory, as it spreads it’s wings to the sky.
Both experiences are valid. Both equally beautiful and precious.Holding the state of acceptance while simultaneously holding the desire for evolution in the same comfortable present space of consciousness is the key to true transformation.
Ready for another twist? Did you get it? Ready to check?
Because this where I tripped up for a long time!
“The Present is your Past.”
Does this make sense? If yes, then you are living the life!
If no, then here’s another explanation.
There are two present states at any given time from our human perspective. A “vibrational”present and a “reality based” present.
Your vibrational present is what matters – get it?
What – “matters”. Meaning creates matter! Literally.
This is where your creative power lies. This is how you were born to create and live your life. If you are constantly aware and choosing the right thoughts and vibrating consciously, that’s what life will serve you going forward.
Your reality based present on the other hand is your “Past Present”. It is what you see in your outer world in your present moment- people you meet, incidents etc. Realize this is the “serving” of what you vibrationally ordered a while back.
This is why one does not fight with the past and accepts the present fully. By doing that you do two things simultaneously- you accept and understand that what you “see” now is just a reflection of your past vibration and by being fully in the present and picking the right vibration you create the best future you can.
So for now this turns out to be the simplest answer to all my seeking and questioning. Be in and enjoy the present moment and trust all will be taken care of. Know when we accept the current moment we are our most powerful self because we are connected to our higher self.
The HOW.
My phone alarm goes off every 2 hours. Reminds me of only one question that encompasses it all.
“Are you friends with the present moment?“
Catch your thoughts immediately! It’ll be the preview of what is to come. And a slice of the life pie you are living in the present moment.
I hope you are making your best life yet!
And in the end, know that no matter where we all stand, we are perfectly where we are meant to be. All is good. ❤
