This Now
Take a quick moment, right now, observe any feeling or thought you have experienced since first opening this book… if any. Were there any heavy thoughts unnecessarily streaming through your head while reading this far?
Maybe, maybe not. This is simply due to the conscious awareness and focus in the moment of what you are doing; whole heartedly, attentively. Just know, you are the master in this case, you have the ability to clear your mind and very easily, and beautifully, become not the thought itself, but the awareness of it. These thoughts often drive us into different states of emotional trauma and distress, whereby they are actually of the ego that lives in every one of us, and it thrives on those emotions. Whether it be pride, anger, frustration or lust…It pulls us away from THIS VERY MOMENT, making it very possible to lose touch with the present, which is after all the greatest present that constantly presents itself to us.
Look around you, all the detail. Embrace it. It is YOU.
