Trying to remember
Worried that you’ll fail
Just wrap it in a bundle
And send it in the mail
Be Here, Now,
Knowing all is well
That Someone Divinely capable
Always reads their mail
If we traced our thoughts, and measured the amount of time we are Purely Present, it would amaze and, maybe, even disappoint us. Most of us are totally addicted to past/ future thinking and rarely allow ourselves to experience the peaceful pleasures of the present moment. Remember the book back in the ‘60s, “Be Here Now”? It is not that this is a new idea, that living in the present moment is the wisest way to live, it is that we are so addicted to thinking about the emotional past, that we never had closure with, and the fearful future that we never put in God’s Hands, and trusted Him with. So how do we get out of this prison? With practice in designing a whole new addiction into living in the present.
Our soul and sub consciousness is always Here Now. Our heart longs to claim our minds, and help put Us there in complete unity. It boils down to letting our unruly mentalities rule the roost, that keeps us so, seemingly, stuck in the hen house. Once we have counted up all the many rotten eggs our mind lays, we, then, may make a new agreement with our self to start the processing out of there, making our way into a different, more fruitful place to dwell. A place where we will never miss seeing a rainbow, catching sight of a butterfly, or witnessing the green flash at a sunset. This is a place where new insights flourish, new discoveries abound, and new romances with life itself blossom. A place where Roosters greet the sunrise with cheers and hens lay healthy eggs.
This place is standing right where you are, it follows you everywhere you go, it never leaves your presence, because it IS your Presence, within yourself. This is a place no one can ever steal from you, never influence you away from unless you let them, and they will never experience it the same way you do. It is your very own, private, Presence!
After you get reacquainted with the dynamic Present Moment, your entire life style could radically change. A revised way of responding, deciding, and applying will have a chance to upgrade. Oh, it could all be a much better format, and the addiction could become, chronically, glorious.
Just imagine no longer dwelling on past thoughts that usually brings up your blood pressure and triggers unpleasant emotional feelings. Imagine a constant dismissal of worries and fears of the future, even if it is pertaining to the next moment.
Living in the Present Moment is freedom! A freedom from worry and fear! A freedom to really get to know who you really are and what you came here to do. A freedom few know, and get to experience. A freedom that once you allow yourself to be there, now and always, will prove to be the only REAL place to be. All the other mind sets will be exposed as false, non existent, or simply a nuisance.
The Present Moment is about as, Eternally, honest and true as you can get. It is actually defined as the ‘Eternal Moment‘, and one Eternal Moment leads to the next, and then to the next. And then, guess what you fall into? The Flow!
The Flow is when you are flowing from one Eternal Present Moment to the next, with a sense of trust that every thought you will need, to do what needs to be done, will just appear into your mind, at the exact moment you need it to. This does take a lot of trust, not only in the Flow, but also in that Divine part of You who programmed the Moments to flow eternally, and exactly, to the highest and best they can Be. That is what you have to know, to keep the Flow.
Know that it is God within You. Know that any slip of going backwards is like an emotional burp. Just know that, and shake off the dust, and then get back to trusting the Present again. Just try to be quick to be forgiving and kind to yourself.
Remember, it takes practice, and patience, to graduate from rehab and get on with a new habit. Soon you will be secure into your own, unique, Divine Pure nature of Presence.
You are Pure Presence! Let Divine Pure Presence, Be, Here Now!
