ORIENTATION # 1104 : NO NOW IN THE PRESENT HORIZON _______________________________________ From a private conversation _______________________________________ You know: thoughts very often bring about illusions.. (we know that I hope).. but illusions are always thoughts .. Can we realize the implication of this fact ? This is fact, not an opinion.. If one is not interested, nor willing to inquire in this psychological and existential fact and psychological dynamic .. then such person becomes perhaps very focused in this and that .. even successfully .. whether in regard of a faith, a certain ideal, a career, a social consensus, in his or her own collective appreciation, in a religiosity, in a so called spiritual path whatsoever and so on.. but such person has lost his or her own profound connection with his or her own psychological individuality which means: his or her own mind.. and then a self-belief, or a collective one.. an identity and an identification with something.. with some process of becoming.. become extremely important in life .. isnt it so ? This person perhaps becomes successful.. appreciated .. bringer of a solid self esteem.. but his or her mind is no longer attentive.. no longer able to see its movements and reality for what it is .. both inwardly and outwardly... The mind became focused perhaps .. concentrated in this and that system of values.. but no longer attentive.. You mentioned guild ... Have you ever been alone with this sentiment ? I mean: psychologically alone... Have you ever been alone with this movement of your psyche ? Not the social construct all around it.. I mean: the very observation of how this psychological movement works into your brain/psyche/psychological behaviour .. not through some needs to fix something, neither by clinging to motivational or spiritual or eventually religious, sectarian, culty or social stratagems .. but rather in total aloneness.. (not meditation or other practices (none of these things which are nonsenses)).. but rather with your whole intelligence .. Have you ever been alone with this movement your call guilt or fear, or discomfort, or depressive states of mind.. and even with what people call love ? Watching where they come from.. how they move .. what it do.. and so on ? Take love for example: love is a sensation.. which brings about immense gratification.. but a sensation is a sensation and a sensation is not the whole mind .. a sensation indeed has a beginning and it has an end: therefore its a fragment.. This means that : as long as one gives more relevance to a single sensation, which is a fragment, rather than his or her whole psyche.. which is life.. then his or her psychology becomes inexorably fragmentary.. separative .. and this leads to pain, suffering, conflict.. Guilt is another sensation.. isnt it so ? Surely guilt is a thing of the past .. just like identity .. therefore this means that perhaps it is your identity, your me, the --what you have accumulated for years-- .. that is thinking for you most of the times .. Intelligence free of conditionings .. which is attentiveness (as I define it) .. is that quality to see beyond of what the psyche has accumulated .. The so called power of now is a quite alluring new age meat ball.. If one looks attentively and intelligently at the very title: power has inexorably to do with the past: to exist it must be in relationship with something.. plus it contains the germ of its opposite which is the fear to lose it .. There is not such thing as the now (from a psychological perspective).. because the very moment we formulate a thought related to the present moment.. that has become already the past.. a memory and the intellectual translation has started .. E. Tolle says: dont let your mind carry you away with thoughts that are not real This pretty much rhetorical/motivational statement is quite meaningless because first of all all thoughts are real : the contents they carry perhaps can be based on complete illusion.. but the thought, as psychological experience, is always real.. and, however, how can we know if the content is fact or illusion ? We should just push those thoughts away and that all ? With no inquiries at all ? The psychological experience, no matter if its all about feeling jesus or feeling the higher self whatsoever or the channeling of the god of the bananas .. is always real : its fact ...regardless of the idiocies it maybe carries .. Pushing the thoughts away .. or the usual new age confabulation of the letting go... are merely silly, unintelligent actions cause there is not intelligent analysis of those thoughts and the reason why they are there .. One should examine attentively : why do I have these thoughts ? For example: you mentioned what can I do with myself if Im not focused in my goals ? .. Now: regardless of the language (there is a reason why the language is structured in this or that way) and going beyond it : you say : what can I do with my self ... There is an I... and there is a self .. You are the self (meaning: your mind with all of its parts (emotions, intellect, memories, feelings, perception, instinct and so on which should co-work together as a team).. Who is the I speaking for you ? In the name of your psyche ? There is the act of thinking.. and the act of thinking creates thoughts.. such as what can I do with my mind .. if we let these thoughts to dominate the psyche .. then there is no longer act of thinking .. just thoughts .. and there the mind gets stuck in a rut .. functioning as a software... I assume a question should be extremely relevant in life .. and the question is : can thought be completely aware of itself the very moment it arises in the brain ? Think about these things... ________________________________________ endoffear.weebly/ eofproject.org jessicamystic
