Constant Motion

Life is constant motion, it never stops. If the motion of the moment is noticed it will allow much more innerstanding of your life than if you’re blindly controlled by past habitual mind patterns…

If the motion of the moment isn’t seen, that’s when the habitual conditioned patterns from the past take over; it’s just the process in place. You can be in a state where you are happy and out of nowhere arises something that triggers one of your past habitual patterns. Depending on what arises is based in that is what will determine if you are still happy after the moment is attached to. This is how it works, we’re pulled around by patterns and the motion of the moment is unnoticed so it’s controlling energy attaches to what pattern is associated with the moment. This is where everything arises from, feelings, emotions, sensations, and whatnot, hence the puppet on a string syndrome takes hold if the motion of the moment isn’t noticed. Think about this, you can’t have any feeling or emotional swings without attachment to the motion of the moment. Most people don’t really have any inkling of this and because of this very few truly live life. I don’t say this in jest as I’m no different, although I do probably notice this a little more nowadays.

Here’s something to do to possibly innerstand the motion of the moment a little better. Make a commitment to sit for a certain time, say thirty seconds, keep it real. In those thirty second just watch what arises, watch the motion, a thought arising and just notice the motion. Just sitting, looking, acknowledging, noticing, letting it arise and pass; all of this is just the motion of each particular moment. This should help in getting a better grasp on the moments motion. Increasing or decreasing the committed sitting time is up to the individual or don’t sit at all and remain a slave to the motion of the moment as it arises and habitually controls your life. It’s the motion of each moment that makes life what it is and if this goes unnoticed so will most of your life…
