TOUCHING THE GROUND OF PRESENT BEING.
Ideas, analysis, AI re-present past experience stored in memory – the known.
The newness of now can’t be retrieved, only directly, presently perceived, without knowing.
~ The dynamic of aware living totally includes the absolute infinite divine and the relative, finite, human: awareness and experience. Time and space are objectively experienced by the ‘six senses’ that produce apparent pleasures, conflicts, and confusion that may or may not be welcome at times! The conditioned residual habits of the body/mind – the known, the memorized past – continue in the foreground of one’s daily human ‘experience’ that comes and goes in the background of the unattached and unknown – infinitely new, present, and changless awareness.
In meditation, which is aware living, that ground of being, which is variously veiled by the habitual clinging of desires and fears, aka, experience – that awareness is more profoundly active in one’s daily living; the old mind’s reactions fade and one lives and acts more from, and as, awareness, from less activity of personal self. From aware being. Love.
The key is to passively, lovingly, gratefully, enjoy watching the parade as it passes. That totally includes alertly watching the watcher – the observer, ‘me’ – and all that’s ‘observed’. One’s innate peace, beauty and joy remain, with and without, body/mind’s activities.
Love it all, let it all pass; be free and happy, now. 🙂
