I thought it might be nice to get to know each other a little better here, so I have a question to ask to all of you. Two questions, I guess.
#1. What does it mean to be in the moment?
and
#2. What is beauty to you?
I am not asking to receive an answer to implement some action; I just want to get to know the wonderful people that frequent this forum. With so many deep minds present, this could be a thread that goes on for quite awhile. |
Hello & welcome!
I am also glad to see you here & hope we can learn from one another.
#1: I think it is as Hawkins describes it. There comes a point where the absolute splendor of everything/allness becomes so overwhelming your mind shuts up in awe. Heh. I'm not there but I am starting to see the beauty in things.
#2: Heh. The 2nd question I think for me is tied to the first. For me beauty is something that I am joyfully partaking in because of God/Allah/Source/Creator/Allness/whatever you wanna call it.. & it is a reflection of the presence of God in all things.
It is easier for me to see it in nature but I am starting to see it even in things that don't seem of God initially to my mind.
That's where I'm at!
