Brain Food > Be Here Now
“As a matter of conscious experience, the reality of your life is always now and I think this is a liberating truth about the nature of the human mind. In fact, I think there is probably nothing more important to understand about your mind that that., if you want to be happy in this world. The past is a memory, it is a thought arising in the present. The future is merely anticipated, it is another thought arising now.
What we truly have is this moment. And we spend most of our lives forgetting this truth, refuting it, fleeing it, overlooking it and the horror is that we succeed. We manage to never really connect with the present moment and find fulfilment there, because we are continually hoping to be happy in the future. And the future never arrives. It is always now.
However much you feel you need to plan for the future, to anticipate it, to mitigate risks, the reality of your life is now. Even when we think we are in the present moment, we are in very subtle ways always looking over its shoulder.”
