Power of Now
"It's very easy
to carry the past
around with you.
To think about what happened
yesterday
or a year ago
or 20 years ago.
To think
you could have done
something different
that would have
made things better.
Or link all of the memories
together into a story
and calling it 'me.'
But it's all nonsense.
What happened
even 20 seconds ago
has nothing to do
with what you are now.
From the perspective
of the mind
you are this person
that stretches back in time.
You are the sum
of all of your memories.
But this is only mental chatter.
It has nothing to do with
what you truly are.
Truly, meaning
not what you think yourself to be
but what is here beyond
all the thinking nonsense.
No matter
what you may think about it,
you are alive in this moment.
Yesterday is not alive;
yesterday is nonexistent.
Right now,
there is the undeniable
sense of life
beyond all the useless
definitions and descriptions.
Right now life is happening
and it is your choice
whether you are alive
in this moment
or you choose
to distract yourself
about endless
commentaries
of what happened before,
what might happen later
and what to call this moment
so the mind can understand it.
If you choose in this moment
to experience yourself alive
then you are radiance.
It is no easy task,
it requires your complete
attention
to remain here
on what is really
going on in this moment.
Not your ideas about
what is going on,
not your knowledge
of what it felt like 10 seconds ago
to be alive in this moment.
But right here;
living is happening,
life is happening.
Not for your body
or your mind
or any of that nonsense.
You allow all that to be
but you look past it.
Something much bigger,
life itself
in its totality
radiating
even exploding
in this moment
with such force
that it belittles
the mind,
belittles
the idea of this
self important 'you'
with all its problems
and desires.
Its not really about
getting a certain pleasure
or attainment
but being alive,
being willing enough
to truly feel life
happening in this moment
and remaining
alive,
remaining
attentive
to the direct experience
that life is happening
forever and ever
in this moment.
To remain immersed
in the source of life
that is lighting up
the whole show.
And if you even
think about it
you miss it.
If you know it
you miss it.
It is too simple
for understanding.
Too close to you
to even be seen.
You can only be
and recognize being,
which are really the
same thing.
You fully recognize
being in this moment
and there is no
room for anything else.
Consciousness
takes up the whole view.
Blessings,
Kip"

Tape 5
(Continuation...)
[The seeing is freeing.]
It's a simple and mental-emotional pattern that has been operating in humanity for so long. That's the beginning of freedom. Freedom is already arising through seeing it.
"Oh, there's my pain-body."
For awhile you will only see it afterwards. The energy may still be so over powering when it takes you over that while it is in you, you don't see it.
And the moment it leaves you, because it then, after awhile it subsides because it has fed enough on your thinking and on other people.

 Reflections of the One Life: Daily Pointers to Enlightenment
by Scott Kiloby by BookSurge Publishing
Paperback ~ release Date: 2009-08-10
To Scott Kiloby |
 | | Scott Kiloby |
July 21st The River of Life Notice that life is like a river rushing by and through you. It is constantly moving, yet there is a deeply silent, formless, immovable awareness watching the whole thing. Thoughts, emotions, reactions, cars, books, dinners, pens, pets, jobs, words, relationships and all other forms are moving through this river. Notice that when thought appears to get stuck on any particular form moving through the river, the dream self is trying to stop the river and gain control. Suffering arises because control is not possible. But notice that when awareness is simply watching this rushing river without getting stuck on any of the forms moving through it, it is like freefalling in space with nothing to hold onto and nowhere to land. In this noticing, there is a possibility of enjoying every form moving through the river without getting stuck on any particular form. The forms cannot appear without the awareness in which they appear. That which notices the forms moving through the river does not have an independent existence from those forms. As formless awareness and the forms appearing in awareness collapse, it is realized that there is only One Life and you are THAT.

FACT: THERE IS NOTHING GREATER THAN CONSCIOUSNESS
RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE CONSCIOUS.
(Continuation...)
First find out specifically what, if anything, is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient.
That's what should be called God.
See why Consciousness is absolutely all presence, all power, and all knowing. This is for you to determine from an unbiased reading of what is presented here.

Excerpts From "Being Our Companion: Exploring Self-Facilitation Through The Presence Process"
The Presence Portal |
 | | Michael Brown |
(Continuation...) Our addictive experience does not depart because someone else tells it to leave, or because we ask it to go to please someone else. It leaves when we stop feeding it time, energy, and attention. It leaves when we evict it. And it does not go willingly; it puts up a fight. It erupts into a war inside of us that is reflected everywhere in the world outside of us. This self-destructive experience may win battles and skirmishes, but when we do not give up, it loses the war. It loses because there is nothing in the entire creation more powerful than what awaits our discovery within ourselves. |

The Transparency of Things

What We Are, It Is
(Continuation...)
However, mind and senses are not imposed from the outside onto the Oneness of Consciousness/ Existence. They proceed from within it. If we explore the actual experience of mind and senses, we find that their very substance is the Consciousness/Existence from which they proceed. We could say that Consciousness/Existence gives birth to mind and senses, which give birth to time and space, which in turn give birth to the world, to 'ten thousand things.'

Chapter 83
The True Guru
(Continuation...)
Q: Have I not suffered enough?
M: Suffering has made you dull, unable to see its enormity. Your first task is to see the sorrow in you and around you; your next to long intensely for liberation. The very intensity of longing will guide you; you need no other guide.
Maybe it's not sorrow but pleasure that made you dull. Investigate.
Q: Whatever the cause; I am dull. I have neither the will nor the energy.
M: Oh, no. You have enough for the first step. And each step will generate enough energy for the next. Energy comes with confidence and confidence comes with experience.
