Go With The Flow
With all the time I have spent learning about the world, not once did I think that the future would not matter. The most important type of awareness is not to be aware of the future, but the now. A good example of this is as follows: Try to predict your next thought, just try. For the next thirty seconds try to predict what you will think next… If you did it, you either thought about the act of prediction, or you didn’t think anything at all! Perhaps for the first time in your life. For me, this realization was life changing. When I was in Las Cruses for mental rehabilitation, I noticed that the most peaceful state of mind is the now. Not here or there, now. And once I left, I had a new perspective on life, one without boundaries or the interference of others. Some people may be able to take away my love, my drugs, my computer, my will to live. But no one can take away my awareness. Its built into life itself. (Unless you die, of course) It just depends where you position your awareness. Most people either put their awareness to the past or the future, up or down, black or white. This is a dangerous mindset as I found out not too long ago. I have had the time to think about it and I have come to the conclusion that love is awareness. And all problems come from the lack of it.
Take early conflicts for example, two early humans need food. One has it and the other does not. A natural instinct for food comes, and awareness of the future sets in. Fear, anxiety, without food I will die. This is not to say reject desire, although many spiritual paths take that path.
In today’s modern landscape, the natural impulses of the mind are not needed as much, except for one. Awareness, we have always been aware, with language or not. If you take away all meaning from the words you speak, what are you?
You are awareness, you are here. From the moment we are born we are trained to learn words that separate us from life with meaning-Despite the indisputable fact that life is meaningless up to the point of reproduction and continuing humankind. When you are born, cuddled into your mothers arms, what would you feel? A pure love with no reason. Because once you put meaning into anything, it separates you. Love has no meaning, and that’s what makes it special. And what are you without awareness? Are are about as good as an AI.
Awareness is love, embracing entropy.
Start with consistent awareness of the present, it can be life changing. And continue with love. Embrace the difficulty’s of life, and as 1970s American counterculture movements would say, “go with the flow.”
