Space of Awareness

If life is to be lived to the fullest, there has to be awareness of each moment as it is. In each moment you can let go of some of the control of the Conditioned Mind by being aware of the space of what’s truly occurring…

It’s amazing how quickly the days go by. It seems like it’s the morning and before you know it it’s nighttime. All the stuff that goes on in between just seems like a blur, and one day just like that when conditions don’t support life anymore, it’s over. On most gravestones there’s usually the date life begins and the date life ends, in between those dates there’s a small space which is our life. Much occurs in between those dates, but it goes so fast; the small space is the sum total of what occurs.

The question is, can life be slowed down life to a degree? I don’t really think this is possible, but there can be more space of awareness of what’s truly going on. The more space of awareness there is the better chance there is of living of full life. To me, it seems the more awareness there is of the present moment emotional state, the less life is in control, and the less one thinks about how fast it goes by. Emotions are tied into the state of being and the state of being is tied into how quickly it seems life goes by. When emotions are stable so is one’s state of being. And with a stable state of being there’s more space of awareness. Life goes by regardless of the state of being, but at least it will seem to go a little slower when there’s space of awareness of what’s occurring as opposed to living in a state of unconsciousness. In a state of unconsciousness, by the time that you awaken, it may be too late to expand your space of awareness because the day that life ends may not be far behind…
