Flowing in the Ever Present Now

Make a commitment to yourself to live only in the now. Remember that if you constantly live in the now, for you there is no time to go by. Anytime you are in focus or in the flow, you don't experience time like everyone else. For you, time does not exist, as you flow from moment to moment so you don't age when you're in the flow of life. This is real immortality. You are eternal, all you have to do is reclaim that aspect of you life that lets you live in the flow. Recognize that your life flows easily when you are doing things that make you feel good. Feeling good feeds on itself because your body releases hormones that make you high during your time in the flow. How do know the difference between spiritual feel good and ego feel good? If what you're doing actually makes you feel good, then it won't complicate your life and you won't be stressed out while you're doing it. If what you're doing is an ego trip only, you will have times when that activity is stressful and complicated. Also, if what you're doing gives you pleasure, but hurts others, this is a clue that you're on an ego trip. When the activity that you're doing creates a knowing that you're actually perceiving things as they happen, then you're probably in the flow. When this happens, you are actually manifesting your reality as you go through the flow. Getting lost in the act is what I call it. Focusing on the process will create flow, but only when you let go of the worry or doubt. If you can do a thing enough to become automatic at doing it, you've got it. Whether we're on an assembly line or creating an art form, getting to the state of no worries will help you create the flow we all desire. Stress in undo amounts creates the aging process. It's all in the noticing and you can't notice things happening if you're not present in the now. This means that you're focused on what you're doing now to the exclusion of all worries about the future or what you've done in the past. In one sense time slows down and in another sense it speeds up. The flow exists in a no-time, no-space dimension where you can manifest your life as you go through it. If time does not exist while you are in the flow, then you have temporarily achieved spirit or soul status and you are infinite and eternal. This is the spiritual goal of life, to be one with the flow of life at any and every point in your life. This is what Shakespeare meant by his question, To be or not to be. Start by noticing everything around you and make it a game, which it is, to you. The noticer is almost invariably your spirit using itself as an observer. Life is a game of passionate experiences. Passion or desire brings the noticing home to you. It makes it real. As a child, you were passionately into play. Your attention span was moment to moment and you lived life on the edge, with your feelings on your sleeve, ready to cry one moment and laugh the next. As you went through this process of growing up, you were intensely focused and learning to perceive what things meant. As we grew up we got teachers to help us. This is where the rub comes into play. The teachers invariably taught us what things meant or how they felt to the teacher, NOT how they might feel to us. We learned to accept certain other people's feelings and thoughts as gospel. This is where the crowd's evolution comes into play. How many of your interpretations about the world you live in are actually formed from the opinion of some significant other? To the extent that you can break the hold these ideas have on you is the extent to which you can evolve while you're in 3-D. We are born into and come out of 3-D alone, with no crowd. If we want to experience more than the mundane rut of 9-5 existence in this life, we have to leave the crowd behind and strike out on our own. We have experience life as we live it, moment to moment, adjusting to it with every turn, accepting and indeed using synchronicities that abound in our lives to grow into the spiritual being we already are, but just not fully aware of right now. To be in the world, but not of it, as Stuart Wilde would say. Experiencing life moment to moment, grasping the meaning, interpreting it and then letting it go for the next moment is what life is all about. Letting it go is sometimes the hard part. Sometimes the experience is poignant that we acyually fixate on it, and love it or hate it too much to let it go. We might develop a psychosis about it and become obsessed with it. This is where growth stops and starts. Growth stops when we stop on a concept and starts when we can again leave that experience behind to go onto another. Life when you get through is just a pile of experiences or memories that ring true for you. Letting life go by is the key. Passionately living it while you are in the moment, only to let it go for the next. How long is a moment. A moment for me is an indeterminate length of time for a good reason. In one sense, a moment is forever and in another, it is a snap of you fingers. It depends on the experience and you. You are the interpreter of the experience as there is no meaning to life unless we give it one. How much desire you have for the experience is in exact proportion to the length of time we spend on it. If we spend our lives doing something we hate then we have one big bad experience in this life. If we spend our lives growing into our spirit's purpose for coming to 3-D, then we may have a fruitful experience here, full of lots of fun filled experiences. As spirits, we come to 3-D , with an idea of what we want to accomplish while we're here. The fun part is finding out what that is on a conscious level and living it moment to moment. We've all heard of the expression heaven on earth. Well, this is what we experience as we discover our purpose for being here. The best of all possible worlds is one in which we live moment to moment, experiencing all the joy and sorrow this place called earth has to give, then letting it go for the next experience. Growing with each experience is the goal as we evolve through life becoming more perfectly aligned to the energy running through us all.As with all things, there are several levels to any experience. As many levels as you can imagine, there are more that you can't because you haven't evolved enough to become even dimly aware of the possibilities involved. Can you imaging what infinity is? How large is it? How small is it? As without, so within. As large as the universe is , there are places where it is not. I should n't say place, but there are no words to describe it. A place usually entails a space-time coordinate and if a place has a space-time coordinate, then it is in the universe. Think about the other side too. How small can you go before you see nothing but space. Beyond the atoms, nucleus, mesons and neutrinos, is there something there? Of course, there is. Some of us can imagine what it is and some of us cannot. Is there something that connects to both ends of the spectrum? Yes. Can we imagine what it is? Maybe, maybe not. We can postulate all we want to, but what it boils down to is this; If we want to know bad enough, we will come up with some kind of idea of what is there. Our scientists are coming up with all kinds of things that just a few years ago were impossible to even conceptualize. Our imaginations and creativity can do even more. We can never pose a question that we cannot provide an answer for. We may have to go into other realms of study to find the answers, but they are there for the asking.
