Living in the now - what if something is missing?

This higher self that you speak of is just really the same as being in the NOW, but because of this blissful feeling that you have, you attach it to whatever you believe to be of a higher being or concept, so as to make since out of what you are experiencing.

I feel it is the other way around really. But hey I am still experimenting!

Yea and that's all we can do is to experiment for ourself and that's really the only place we find our answers from within our own being, so, forget all that I have said and carry on lol.

Hi all,

In this interview Suzanne Foxton says the same thing that I try to describe:

She awakened while washing dishes and she says "the knife became very knifish" (minute 5:07)

There is no worry or fear in the NOW. Everything is calm because we are not anticipating future events, nor dwelling on what we would see as past mistakes. Living in the now (a great book by Eckhart Tolle I might add) is all about peaceful living and I practice it daily ! :)

We always talk about what isn't in the know (fear, worry , etc). What if there should be something extra in the now making it blissful?

I think the bliss lies within the now, happiness, contentedness, peace. :)

this is fascinating,

the mind and its tapestry of vivid imaginings has an incredible pull. Obviously it yanks most of the worlds population on its pendulum. So we can see why.

Accepting this moment as enough, will not appease the mind, until the mind has come to understand experientially what it is that this particular moment encompasses. We need to understand. Only then can we fully let go and abide in it. Until that point
we are trusting the mind, when the mind teaches us this moment is what we should be in, it is still the mind that
led us, thus the mind that we trust. Even if we have faith in this moment, which many do, this still, when push comes to shove will not be enough.

This path, in the final stanza, takes work, takes training, and takes no ** understanding to decipher what it is our mind is witnessing.

There is somthing missing in the now, need I say it?



I am saying that because, it happened to me twice, when connected with my higher self something happens and I see world "differently" even most boring things appear blissful. When this happens you don't care about past or future because now is more interesting simply.



You are on somthing here, keep it up.



Anyone experiences that?

thx,

For you perhaps? Maybe you see now differently than me?

3d... If something is missing then you are not fully present in the Now.

The Now is not just what's going on in and around you, but, as you said... aware in your higher self, or inner self. In this nothing could be missing because here you are whole.

I suggest breathing more deeply into the present and relaxing into the quiet space of your inner being... NOW.
