Anonymous Coward User ID: 16334834 United States 03/12/2013 07:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Living in the moment is not something that you have to learn, or understand. Quoting: DontBeAfraidEVER You already know how to do this and most likely you do this several times a day, every day, already. Imagine for example, that you watch tv or sit at your computer, you are just sitting there, you are not happy, you are not sad, you are ''not thinking'', you are just there. When you are doing this, you are in a way sleeping, you are not aware of your existence. You are on autopilot or in sleep mode. You just are. So lets imagine again, that you are watching tv or sitting at your computer, and that you are in this autopilot/sleep mode, but only this time you manage to spot it. You simply snap out of it and acknowledge that for some seconds/minutes you where gone ''sleeping'' or driving away on autopilot. You spot it, and remember that YOU are HERE, and that YOU are in CONTROL. You choose to go out of it, to decide your own thoughts, and feel your own emotions. Now maybe you dont see the difference between this and ''just thinking'', because i can assure you that there is a difference. You can think and not be in control, and you can think when you are in control. Your mind/thoughts can wander by itself without you controlling it, or you can control it yourself. Awake vs sleep/autopilot. Living in the moment is all about control, to be aware that you are you, and that everything is always a choice. You simply have to be awake to make these choices and not just ''follow the actions of your body''. And when thats said, not all about this is about learning how to find the ''state of now'' but its more about learning how to stay in this state. Its hard to stay in this state even for just a few minutes for most people who are ''unexperienced'' because they forget to focus about it, and they keep falling back to ''sleep''. When i first started learning how to practice this i didnt see much relevance to it, but in a way i had already painted myself into a corner and had not many paths left to try so i decided to give it a try. And im glad i did, because it basically changed my entire life. In the beginning i started out by doing it the times i was depressed or in a bad mood, i choosed to wake up and then i tried to reverse the situations, i started controlling them. I decided that its my choice, and that if i want to be happy instead of sad, that i can change this, right here and right now, if i just make the choice. In the beginning this was quite hard but i kept pushing it and after some practice it became easier. I saw that i could change my mood IF i wanted and that it was just a choice. This kinda lit a spark in me so i tried to do it more and more often, in all kinds of situations. Whatever thoughts and feelings i experienced i tried to make sure that i CHOOSED these thoughts and feelings MYSELF, and that they didnt just appear from a small moment on ''autopilot''. This is KEY to everything! Its so easy to accept the wrong thoughts, the ones ''you didnt create yourself''. What i didnt know then but what i understand now is that something happend to me during this time. I started living in the moment and i got more aware of EVERYTHING. And the more aware i became, the more consciousness i recived. The more conscious i was, the easier it was to understand my own fears and problems. The more i understood my fears the easier it was to remove them. The more fear i removed, the further i could dig into my own rabbithole of fear and as time went on, they started going one by one. I reached a state where i now LIVED in the now, i made it a part of my perception, to always be awake, well not ALWAYS but MOSTLY. After that a lot happend but shortly explained i ended up trancending my last fears and then the last and biggest fear, the fear of death. When i removed my fear of death i woke up =) I cried like a baby because it was ALL OK! I realised that whatever happens, its okay, and that im not scared to be me, no matter what, even if i die doing it. It was a beautiful moment and something i will never forget =) Living in the moment is they key to everything. that reminds me of a lot. u have been practicing meditation for about 2 years now. im 18 now and im about to go on my own spiritual journey with my closest cousin. i know about living in the moment. ive done it driving, ive done it when i used to play guitar hero, ive put myself in that state to move some of my stones as well. i love the feeling really. its like nothing really matters at the time but it all matters altogether. i had this random feeling today. i have some equiptment ready for my trip all stored in a hiking backpack. i was just sitting at home, playing guitar, and all of a sudden i wanted to walk. so i put on my backpack and hiked about 7 miles like it was nothing. just because in one of my "out of mind trances" i figured it would be fun. idk exactly how to live constantly in the moment but i try to. human instinct makes it hard for a person to not be hurt by physical or even mental pain so i understand why most never really know what they are conciously doing half the time. but this thread is pretty cool. id pin it but i dont have an account. but much love to you. |

He runs towards a cliff...to escape. Much to his chagrin...if he jumps he will die, if he doesn't he will die. He works his way off of the cliff hanging by a couple twigs....in that "MOMENT" he notices a beautiful strawberry.

Sometimes your head wanders back and forth, round and round, from past to present, to future, you are just letting your thoughts fly. Wake up when that happens and control your own thoughts by yourself, and not when your driving on ''auto''. If your head wanders most of your thoughts will not end up as conclusions, they will just be small pieces almost like small questionmarks. Its about being aware and choose your own thoughts. You can think of the future or the past, just be aware that you do it, be awake and choose these thoughts. You dont have to change ANYTHING but become awake and aware. When you are awake and aware you are living in the moment =) When your head starts wandering on its own again, you are sleeping again. Last Edited by DontBeAfraidEVER on 03/12/2013 07:42 PM |

(OP) User ID: 35650651 Norway 03/12/2013 07:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nope, read the topic though lengthy. Just a generalization, situation based feelings are usually the main thing getting people in trouble and/or bad situations as with the examples, but they don't have to be limited to teens or pregnancy that's not the point. Not knocking the overall idea but majority of life requires forethought, consideration, etc. something quickly bypassed if we all just went on feeling, as humans our senses are extremely limited and often misleading. Quoting: MuslimAmerican You are misunderstanding a bit, but you have all the answers in your post. If you live in the moment the way its been described in this thread then you will have 100 times more time to think, to reflect, to find your own true path. This is about growing as a person =) A normal person who doesnt pay attention let their minds wander thousands of times a day, and that is not productive. Less thoughts are thinked ''finished'', theres less consideration, less forethought and so on =) Here are some scriptures about living in the moment. Matthew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Psalm 118:24 "This is the day which the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be glad in it". From the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-8), Jesus said, "don't be anxious for tomorrow, look at the lillies of the field, they don't spin and yet even Solomon was not robed as beautifully as they." Just be grateful for each day and do not live in the past or future. Good thread, OP. |

(OP) User ID: 35650651 Norway 03/12/2013 08:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: DontBeAfraidEVER What do you know about my life and how much i have suffered? I ask you again, what is your mission here? Do you have one? Or you dont know? Have you ever looked into any of the science that has been done on any of these subjects or are you just here to preach the bible? Why are you attacking your own movement and not the ones who cause harm in this world? If you want me to listen about christianity, then calm down, take a deep breath, and behave properly. Think your own thoughts, dont copy paste the bible. Be aware, be awake =) Your words and my words are Meaningless unless they come from the Most High GOD.. Do you accept this? I have no other mission, than to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.... You are not preaching, you are attacking other people in the name of god. Preach where preach is needed. Be a solution, not an obstacle. Help this movement, dont fight it. This is not christians against the world. Its us vs the corrupt people who are making this world more fake day by day =) I would like to know if you accept the WORDS of GOD or do you accept your own words? But it is Good vs Evil... The road to eternal life is narrow, don't you want other's to find that narrow Gate? Is Preaching (GOD's Truth) not needed on your thread? This is not a thread about religion this is about living in the moment, to choose your own thoughts, and live your life happily. What is it that you are against? Are you afraid that some who choose to live their life happily does not belive in god? Why are you more afraid of these people than the people who are actually doing harm in this world? Have you ever thought about things like that? Do you ever stop up, to just think, to reflect? Find out where your help is needed =) I can assure you, it is not here. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 20039521 United States 03/12/2013 08:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I lived in the present for a while after reading the Truth Contest. Same thing that is being talked about here. It was all right. It felt amazing for a while, then just started to dwindle. It became empty and ultimately selfish for me. I expressed my views to a good friend and she ripped me apart for a damn good reason. Following this motto, I began to think evil doesn't exist. I began to wonder why everyone else can't see it the way I did, why can't that person just live in the moment and enjoy the life they have? Because we are human. And we are different. And we are here to compliment and give love to one another especially in the most painful of situations. Not to ignore them and choose the path that allows us only positive experiences and living in the moment. What I am getting at is it is all about you. It becomes a suit of armor against dealing with real people with real problems. I wanted to stay away from the negative people instead of taking time to understand their outlook and pain. That is just my certain situation, but it just felt so selfish in the end. I ask you to please explain this concept to a child in the Middle East who lives in fear of having bombs dropped on his or her city constantly. Tell this to someone has just been raped and not to worry about the past, live in the moment. It just doesn't work for everyone on this planet, nor will it ever. I apologize if I come off as insulting or aggressive, this motto just seems like dangerous thinking to me. A relationship with God, our Creator, is so much more fulfilling and selfless than living in the moment. This life wasn't meant to be easy. |
