Living In Awareness – Day 2

Now, this is where it can get tricky— In many situations, the mind may throw out an idea about the future that is not pleasant to think about. Usually in those situations, the mind begins to figure out ways to avoid that event or prevent it from happening. In that moment, all of your creative energies (or your mental energies) are being used to thwart, avoid, prevent, etc. This is no way to use your creative and mental abilities. A much better approach would be to create the life you wish to live purposefully, consciously, and intentionally; to embody the ‘good gardener.’

Yes, it is natural for the mind to replay the past, and project itself into the future. The mind will do both of those things; however, as you go through this challenge, you will begin to know how to respond to both of those situations.

Time is a man-made, mind-based concept. Yes, relating to the mind, there is a past, present, and future. The past is done, and cannot be changed. The future has not arrived, and will never get here. The present is what is, the present is Now, and now is all you have.
