Oh, and we just might be getting a little offtopic here.  |
As long as we keep the topic in the now, then there's no problem
Back to the
Trouble with Now............when something bad in the world happens, it enters our now, so now we have to emote about it to justify our emotive state, human bean. The closer to home, the more intense the emotive state or reaction
As long as we are in the moment as human beans, then through conscious choice we have an option to decide how that event is handled. We can cry, feel pain, quiet acceptable emotions, but then we must stop and ask some conscious questions about what to envoke next.
As a conscious being only ever existing in the moment, it's that moment of conscious choice that defines our world. Have you ever had something go bad and you get very emotional about it? But if someone is there to ease that emotion, it's so much easier to bear right? Why?........because consciousness is it's own best friend.
You don't actually need another person to comfort you, it's nice sure, but if you on your own, you're never alone, for you true self is always there to guide and protect you. Consciousness is the real you, but you can look at it as if it's a very caring best friend who will never leave you. It cares so much about you it will do whatever it takes to make you happy.
What is the best feeling in the world?........Love. Why?............because consciousness (you) care very deeply for yourself and when you create someone else to reflect that love, you are witnessing it close up.
That really is the whole point of now and other people, to love yourself as much as possible right now. To see and feel it in the phyical present moment. We can love ourselves without others around, all we have to do is look to our present moment and witness our own creation, because consciousness isn't just you creating other people, it's you creating everything in your present moment awareness.
You creating everything right now.
