it is interesting to examine one's relationship to time.
I mean, does one look forward to future days when everything will be better? when it will somehow be 4d, our governments more benign, and free-energy devices in every home? is happiness delayed unto then?
does one look into the past, and see that everything was better then? a childhood where things were safe and managed, and one was provided for in all ways? (food, housing, love, education, past-times).
this forward and backward gazing has caused me many difficulties in the past. In the end, I finally saw that it was a Non-acknowledgement of the Gifts of the Present Moment. That somenow 'now' wasn't good enough, or that now wasn't joyful enough. That I didn't appreciate the gift of catalyst in the present moment that was hearkening to changes (immediate changes) that would lead me to greater balance and wholeness.
I had ignored and rejected the signals of the present to dwell in some imagined mental land of disclosure, dimensional shift, social revolution, energetic 'change'. Not that these things are not positive and may not be happening; but I had unshouldered my own personal responsbility for taking care of the health and well-being of my own soul in favor of fantastical external storylines; those external storylines being a projection of the internal fantastical changes that I really wanted deep down.
so even in our stray thoughts, the mind reveals itself to itself.
The 'Now' offers for the most fantastical and outrageous opportunities for self-change. To shift an inner perspective. To shift to a greater wholeness. To drop self-attacking thoughts in favor of holistic ones.
where is the mind now? forwards, backwards, or here looking quite intently at what is being presented?
thanks for reading
