DREAM DATUM

The Process of entering Present Moment By Present Moment or NOW, I am describing an abidance in the present Present.. that is... the state of being which has few anticipation of the future and dreaming of the past. One of the key to entering Present Moment is in the realisation that our personality/'sense of self' is not the doer of any action. This realisation has been discussed in the previous article: Doer and the being done.
The dynamics of going into the NOW is a rather intuitive process. It involves subtle intuitive recognitions of the thoughts/desires that arise. This 'intuitive recognition' is not a forceful thought that comes from active seeking, but is a subtle, quietly-arised 'knowing'. This is as if thought acknowledge itself. With the recognition, comes a ‘piercing/penetrating of the thought’, which sometimes results in an ‘expansion’ of perception and the stilling of the mind. At that moment, thought loses its power of symbolism and meaning. Usually after this, the mind is calm and have very little content...After a while, breathe arises and awareness of it follows. Thoughts can be said to be the manifested and part of the phenomenal world. Thoughts and the phenomenal world are not separated from the un-manifested (essence). They are not two different thing. Manifestation or phenomenality is just the essence assuming a change of state/property.
Entering Present Moment cannot be a contrive activity. It happens when it wants to and is without any active intention on the part of the mind. Thanks for reading.
