Life is constant motion, it never stops. If the moments movement is noticed it will allow much more understanding of your life than if you’re blindly controlled by habitual mind patterns…
If the moments movement isn’t seen that’s when the habitual conditioned mind patterns take over; it’s just the process in place. You can be in a state where you‘re happy and out of nowhere arises something that triggers one of your habitual mind patterns. Depending on what it’s based in will determine if you are still happy after it’s attached to. This is how it works, we’re pulled around by patterns and the moments movement 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 moments movement isn’t noticed. Think about this, you can’t have any feeling or emotional swing without attachment to the moment. Most people don’t really have an inkling of this and because of that very few truly live life. I don’t say this in jest, I’m no different although I probably notice this a little more nowadays.
Here’s something to do to possibly understand the moments movement a little better, make a commitment to sit for a certain time, say thirty seconds, keep it real. In those thirty second just watch moments arise, watch their movement; a thought arising and just notice the movement. Just sitting, looking, acknowledging, noticing, letting it arise and pass; all of this is just the particular moments movement. This should help in getting a better grasp on the moments movement. Increasing or decreasing the committed sitting time is up to the individual or don’t sit at all and remain a slave to the moments movement as it arises and habitually controls your life. It’s each moments movement that makes life what it is and if this goes unnoticed so will most of your life…
