Hmm... maybe that is true enlightenment. Realizing that there always is thought and being OK with it? |
You are right. 5 minutes or fifty years doesn't matter. If it happens, it happens in an instant. Time cannot be involved in that process (if it is a process..."process" implies time, doesn't it?).
It is not a matter of accepting...if you accept it or reject it based on a thought or idea, has anything changed? This is where it can get tricky. If you come to a conclusion, how do you arrive at that conclusion? Does your thought take you to it? If thought takes you there, isn't it just taking you to more thought?
There can be no conclusions in the moment. If you ask, " How can there be no conclusions?" just ask yourself, "What is it that is making this clonclusion?" Is it thought? Your idea of right and wrong? Can you live in conclusions and be in the moment?
