The mysterious nature of time

[3DMonkey]

We glimpse the present moment more and more, our awareness starts to center itself in the one present moment, we see our thoughts arising with less identification, and we live life more and more as it is - less confused, more able to accept, happier, and more free from mental patterning and related pathologies. This freedom has been called 'enlightenment'. But of course there is always more freedom available, and therefore always more 'enlightenment'.

My first response to this sounded like karma talk to Confused. That's not what I was thinking. Attempt to explain now. Apologies. I'm not really a part of this thread.

I don't see 'living in the present' as less mental pattern and brain reliance. I see it as possessing the same fundamental mind and brain nuances that pertain to 3D life. I think paradigms can reshift and shuffle, but, in the end, all the same pieces are still applicable to the new form of thinking. I don't see it as something that can be escaped from, or freed from.

I'm at a point where I want to repeat myself. Maybe an analogy....

Old thinking: put food in box because I know I'll be hungry at lunch. I'm hungry at lunch because I prepared to be.

New way: here is my box in front of me. It's an empty box. Appreciate what it is. At One with the box. How can we appreciate existence together? There an orange. Beautiful orange. Smell it. Become one with it. What can I do to help the orange express it's existence? The box would like to hold the orange. See them as One with me. Yadda yadda

One is not different than the other in it's succeptibility to physics of the mind, brain, and biology. It's simply a different way to apply it. A different distortion. Not less or more distorted, just differently distorted. IMO.

Buddha and Jesus. They knew what they were doing was making people listen. They had childhoods that shaped their desires. B probably desired that deep connection cause the rich kid never had it. Jesus saw some crazy death stuff that blew his mind and decided to do his best to help the world avoid that feeling. I don't think either of them were free from mental physics of 3D.
