Being in this moment is the starting point of your life.
All human beings have a tremendous amount of power to do anything they want in their lives, but they often cannot discover that power because they are full of thoughts of desires, ego, wants, attachments etc. These thoughts fill up with thoughts of the past and the future, which separate us from reality. Reality is present at the center of being, but most of us are present on the circumference, where we start thinking about others by missing the now. This now is called “the divine moment” because it takes control of the past and the future and helps us to get rid of all kinds of negative emotions and problems. It uncovers our true human potential.
It is the moment of discovery
Most of the great discoveries happen in this moment. Newton discovered gravitational force by just noticing the falling of an apple from a tree. There must have been millions of people before Newton, who had seen the falling of an apple from a tree, but none of them were aware and noticed it, but he just noticed, witnessed, and discovered it.
How can we control memory, imagination, dream, and projection?
There is only way to control the past and the future, and that is by living right now. In fact, being present is the greatest gift we will ever have. We cannot observe the real thoughts of now if we are in thoughts of memory, dream, projection etc. because many of these thoughts are covering up the main and original thoughts so that we start labeling and judging the thoughts of dream, imagination, memory etc. The main powerful thoughts of this moment are hidden because we are living in illusionary thoughts of the past and the future and we are disconnected from this moment. Therefore, it is better to live here right now, and then we can observe the powerful real thoughts within and look at things as they really are. We can become witnessing, alert, watchful, and conscious of what we are doing.
A long time ago when I used to live in memory, projection, dream, and imagination, I was under control of many illusionary thoughts, and I had many problems of memory loss, short temper, distraction, anger, fear, attention loss etc. But as soon as I started living in this moment, I realized the power of now is here. Most of my problems have disappeared, my productivity level has gone up, and I have gotten rid of useless thoughts.
The fact is that life exists in this moment, and if you are not here right now, you have missed beautiful moments of your life.
Don’t move into the past, because it is memory and everything there has already disappeared. Don’t move into the future, because that is only imagination, projection, and dream, which have not yet happened. Just remain right here right now, and then all useless thoughts of the past or future disappear. The present is pure, clean, and open to the Universe, where life is eternal and full of joy. This eternal moment gets rid of all tensions, anxieties, and worries. When you are in a state of no thought, there is no past and no future; there is only the present in that thoughtless state.
Tomorrow Never Comes
What’s going to happen tomorrow? This is the biggest question in our lives. Tomorrow is just an illusion created by our minds that separates us from today! There is no tomorrow. Only this moment exists here right now, but we can take control of tomorrow by living right now with focus on the awareness of breath and let go of everything; then we can know that now is the answer for the question of what will happen tomorrow. No one knows what will happen in the next moment, but when you totally relax into this moment, witnessing and being watchful of your thoughts, then the answer is already there.
