Moment of Now

The moment of Now with life simply occurs because one is alive. As a matter of fact, it even occurs when one isn’t alive, there just isn’t awareness the moment of Now is happening…

Because of the way one is conditioned, each moment of Now with life is put into a category of pleasant or unpleasant; there are also times it seems the moment of Now is neither. The only reason anyone has an issue with life is because it’s desirable to have each moment of Now pleasant; this is impossible because life isn’t designed this way. Not that life does anything to anyone, but things do happen that can be considered downright nasty. Case in point, the on going recent worldwide events. There can be attachment that the process going on is unpleasant, but it wouldn’t change what’s happening. It would only change the degree of suffering; the suffering would be a direct result of attaching to wanting it different. This doesn’t mean one likes what’s happening, but you can be in a state of mind of being with the unpleasant and not attach the label to it…

Life just rolls along, it stops for nothing. The moment of Now is one continuous motion. It may seem like individual things happen, but that’s only because of the way we have been conditioned to use time and break life up. The unpleasant is constantly pushed away to try and make room for the pleasant as if when one decides it’s pleasant, it makes life perfect. But for there not to be suffering, life has to be deemed as perfect with what’s happening right now because that’s what’s there. The Conditioned Mind wants life pleasant all the time and until one can be with the unpleasant the same as the pleasant there will be self created suffering. This is because of always trying to arrange the moment of Now the way you think it should be (pleasant) and not be with what’s actually happening…
