anonymous A Little Mind Quietening Goes A Long Way ! November 22, 2007 10:43 PM

Your present moment need is to be in the moment with God ~ memories of yesterday and thoughts of tomorrow are thoughts without substance.. wandering thoughts so to speak.
The present is a place with no thought ~ it is the only times we are truly living, being alive, unaware of the moment itself , in a suspended animation.
No thinking ahead or memories of the past ~ just the silent now in motion..
You are part of the natural flow of the Universe right where you are..

You are living mostly in the moment when not thinking that you are living nor are you engrossed in streaming thoughts of past or future.
You are as at one with God as a drop of water is with the ocean.
There is no worry in this moment ~ nor any anxiety as the mind is free to be.
Living in memories in the mind that distract you from being fully in the moment..is decaying for the body cells.
if I am in Melbourne Australia and thinking of Los Angeles..then my awareness is very thin and flimsy and mostly not in the moment at all.
If your thoughts are either in past or future then you are not here now...you are in limbo.
Negative emotions cannot exist or manifest in this present state of consciousness.
It is essential to obtain this mental tool before you attempt to sit for long periods in meditations or starting a strict disciplinary routine. As you will get results usually much quicker.
And it is a wonder tool for getting a little Peace of Mind ~ if you have not yet come to the Divine Doorstep.

Beautiful Butterfly November 28, 2007 8:39 PM

Sometimes I have the hardest time getting my mind to be quiet. When I go to meditate I usually end up in long prayers because my mind has to move, so I focus on prayers. Atleast if my mind is moving I try and do something constructive with it's motion. I would like to be able to visualize healing in my body but that is even harder for me sometimes. I LOVE the Butterfly picture. Did you snap that shot mantha??  [ send green star]

A Frivolous Conversation

- My Past is stupid butterfly's overseas voyage.
My Future is a garden where a cook cuts the throat of a rooster.
What do I have, with all my pain and rebelion?

- Take a moment, just one, and when its fine shell,
two joined palms, slowly opens
What do you see?

- A Pearl, A Second

- Inside a second, a pearl, in that Star saved from Time,

- What do you see when the wind of mutability ceases?

- The earth, the sky and the sea, richly cargoed ships,
Spring morning full of dew and faraway princedoms.
At marvels displayed in tranquil glory
I look and do not desire for I am content.
