There are no problems in the NOW.

24th Jul 2008

When you are in the now, there could not be any problems. There are 3 ingredients that are necessary to cook up a problem. There has to be an “I”, some “wanting” and a time issue. All 3 of those ingredients are based upon lack of consciousness. In actuality, in the realm of the absolute, there is no “I” there. All three ingredients are based upon mind constructs and when you are in the mind, you can not be in your full consciousness. You are either in the mind or you are in your consciousness,… You can not be in both at the same time. Now, granted, they can flip back and forth quite quickly.

Chetan’s example yesterday explained it quite well. When she was observing it going on, she was in her consciousness, but when she began to participate, she was in her mind.

Do not fight with being in your mind, for you have been conditioned and trained by society to be there. Simply begin to observe it when it is happening. Recognize that it is happening. Accept that it is happening, and just let it be. If you fuck around with it, you are back in the mind. If you are fighting with it, you are back in the mind. Begin to withdraw your attention from the mind and sink down into you consciousness and allow that to be. The more and more that you begin to practice this; the less you will be triggered by such non-sense.

Today, I begin to witness the antics of the mind. As I witness this occurring, I witness through the eyes of the Divinity that I am.
