Living in the now or getting lost in it?<br />
The challenge of “mindfulness” and “living in the now”<br />
(which are concepts I have never really understood<br />
anyway) is the risk of losing yourself in the curse of The<br />
Now. The present moment is but a fraction of time,<br />
flashing by in the ever flow of the yesterday blending<br />
into the tomorrow. Focus too much on The Now and<br />
you risk forgetting where you came from and where you<br />
are moving towards. For me, I see myself in a flow<br />
outside of time and even outside of space.<br />
Keep in mind that there is a difference between the way<br />
we experience the world, the way we describe it and the<br />
way it actually is.<br />
Human beings are probably the only species on the<br />
planet with any relation to or consideration of time. A<br />
popular genre of books is biographies. People love to<br />
watch documentaries on TV about past times. We love<br />
to remember. In a way, that is one definition of time. If<br />
there was no memory, there would be no time, just an<br />
endless eternity of present moments.<br />
Animals live in the present moment, yet without paying<br />
any attention to it. This is an important realization.<br />
Paradoxically, they really do live “In The Now”; however<br />
they are not aware of it. That is how and why it works<br />
for them.<br />
Events versus time<br />
From a spiritual point of view, try to see things from this<br />
perspective: Think in terms of “events”, of “energy”,<br />
maybe of “causality”. That way, a future event might<br />
very well influence an event that took place in the past.<br />
That is why it is possible to perform a Shamanic<br />
ceremony and alter something that happened in the<br />
past; change the energetic vibrations of it, how you<br />
remember it and what impact it had (and still has) on the<br />
future. You can also influence something that will<br />
happen in the future. With that view, it is no longer<br />
necessarily so that events are successive, in the way<br />
that an event is connected with a certain time and that<br />
the future follows after the present, like Wednesday<br />
follows Tuesday. If Wednesday and Tuesday are events,<br />
they do not really have to follow each other in any<br />
particular order. They are free-standing events, each<br />
one in its own right.<br />
