How important is being present?
We are all creating our lives and our worlds from moment to moment. We can choose in any of those moments to create consciously - through presence and thoughful intentions - exactly what we are wanting for our lives now and for tomorrow.
We are all creating our lives and our worlds from moment to moment. We can choose in any of those moments to create consciously - through presence and thoughful intentions - exactly what we are wanting for our lives now and for tomorrow.
A new scientific study shows that at best, most of us are living, operating, and yes - creating in the present only 7% of the time. At our best. The rest of our time we are living in and being driven by our past. When we are there (in the past) we are consistantly re-creating our past experiences, which we then experience here, today. OR, we are projecting ourselves and living in the future, wishing, hoping and creating expectations for certain outcomes.
Cultivating presence and clear intentions here in the alchemical moment that is now is the only place that you can grow beyond the nonproductive and repetitive experiences that are rooted in your past. It is here, now, in the present that you can create exactly what you want for yourself, for your loved ones, and for your world.
The video below is a poem written by Rumi, where he speaks to the power and wonder of presence....
The piece below, "You are a miracle" is excerpted from the book "Personal Alchemy" and also speaks to the alchemical and creative power of presence.....
You are a miracle
You are a miracle.
Think about it really. We all are. As human beings we are both flesh and spirit, capable in any given moment of realizing our grandest and most divine potential. If we choose, we can at any time design and weave our lives into the richest tapestry of experience and expression, or, again with choice, create a fabric threadbare and worn, unknowing and unfamiliar with the unlimited divine potential our creator has instilled within us all.
Ourselves, our world, our universe, all things are made up of the stuff of miracles. Within all things exists the mind and presence of God. Each part of creation is a reflection of the infinite and miraculous nature of the Creators spirit.
We spend so much time ahead of ourselves or behind, racing towards tomorrow or re-living and re-enacting the past that very little time is left for the now. Right now, Here in this very moment, miracles exist and unfold in an endless succession, wave after wave of Divine Spirit in action, ready to instill the knowledge and experience of the Infinite upon anyone willing to stay Here.
It is Here that real understanding is born and flows from, for when you are Here, your vision is clear, your hearing is sharp, your thoughts beaming light.
Being Here is knowing and feeling at the same time, without effort or struggle. To be Here is to live outside of attachment and judgment.
Compassion flows from Here and limitless potential for healing exists Here.
Here is the only place you can truly and fully embrace your destiny and Here is where you will find it.
Here is the place and origin of creation, and the infinite and vast resource of the universe fully comes to bear through your creativity Here.
When you are living in the past you are not creating, you are re-creating. And so too, if you are living in the future, you are not creating, you are dreaming. Yes dreams do come true, but rarely do they come true exactly as we planned. The future is never fully crystallized and realized until it becomes the present. The past is set, there is and was only one story, one outcome, and it will play out exactly the same, every time you are there.
To stand firmly rooted in the single point of presence that is The Now, enables and empowers you to look back over the past with clarity and presence. In the present, no longer entrenched and imprisoned by past events, you are always at the point of choice. It is your choices in the Here and Now that open the infinite possibilities that are the unformed future.
