We Have Lost What Is Right in Front Of Us
Our Imagination Has Taken Over, Yet We Dont Even Notice
Our imagination is a powerful tool. It helps us dream, create, and escape. But when it starts to overshadow the present, we lose a vital connection to the world around us.
We’re here, but not really here.
I know, with all the noise in our world, it is quite difficult to stay centered:
It’s like walking through a beautiful garden with your eyes fixed on a map, missing the blooming flowers and the scents in the air. You stare at this map, trying to find the next marked point on it, and walk towards it.
You’re so focused on reaching the next marked point that even when you arrive, you’re already fixated on the next destination.
You lose yourself in achievements… (such as your dreams like I described here):
But What Do I Mean With This Map?
This map represents our thoughts about the future and past, our conceptions of reality, the problems in our lives, and the possibilities that lie ahead.
In the singularity of our being (or in being itself), we have the power to influence our past and future, or at least how we feel about them.
I just watched a YouTube video that explains the singularity in a similar way to the movie Interstellar.
It depicts dimensions above ours and how they might influence our reality.
What could happen if we were not so focused on our material reality, but open to the wonders and synchronicities of life again?
Here’s this video I reccomend for this Post from Alan Becker:
How would it feel if we let go of concepts altogether?
To always just focus on what is in front of us?
This doesn’t have to mean that you are not planning something in your mind again! It means that you are focusing on the task you are doing, one thing, one moment at a time.
To Start, Here’s a Simple Exercise:
Look around and identify five things you see, four things you hear, three things you smell, two things you feel, and then integrate all these sensations and focus on where and who you are currently inhabiting this body.
Focus on the thing you are watching, on the immediate present: without losing yourself in:
- your thinking
- your family situation
- your relationship problems
- your work situation
- your financial goals
- I could go on with this list for a long time, but I believe you get my point.
You focus only on what you are doing currently, one thing at a time.
It means being, without any attachments.
It is time to slow down. Really slow down.
When have you felt the wonder you naturally had as a child the last time?
When have you questioned little things and saw the world with new eyes, full of interest and passion for what’s happening right now, without getting involved too much in what is happening in your life, inside or outside of you?
Slowing down and embracing the present is like rediscovering the world through the eyes of a child.
A reminder to occasionally put down the map of your mind and look around, to see, feel, and experience the world as it is, right now.
This of course, can be trained. (For example with the exercise mentioned)
To start, observe your actions today, and firmly draw yourself back to the present moment if you find your mind drifting into the past or future.
Enjoy the process!
