Accessing The Power Of Now: Thought For The Day #53💭✍
'The beginning of freedom is the realisation that you are not "the thinker". The moment that you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realise that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyonf thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realise that all the things that truly matter - beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace - arise from beyond the mind. You begin to awaken.
There is an eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the life that we have on Earth as human existence, people can describe it as God, Eckhart Tolle calls it Being. It is difficult to describe this, but this is our very presence and is immediately accessible to us as the feeling of presence...our true nature.
You can know it only when the mind is still. When you are present, when your attention is fully and intensely on the Now, God can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally. The word enlightenment conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment, and the ego like to keep it that way, but it is simply your natural state of felt oneness with God. It is a state of connectedness with something immeasurable and indestructible, somewhat that almost paradoxically, is essentially you and yet is much greater than you. It is finding your true nature beyond name and form.
The inability to feel this connectedness gives rise to the illusion of separation, from yourself and from the world around you. You then perceive yourself, consciously or unconsciously, as an isolated fragment. Fear arises, and conflicts within and without become the norm.
The greatest obstacle to experiencing the reality of your connectedness is identification with you mind, which causes thought to become compulsive. Not to be able to stop thinking is a dreadful affliction, but we don't realise this because almost everybody is suffering from it, so it is considered normal. This incessant mental noise prevents you from finding that realm of inner stillness that is inseparable from God. It also created a false mind-made self that cast a a shadow of fear and suffering.
Identification with you mind creates an opaque screen of concepts, labels, images, words, judgements, and definitions that block all treu relationships. It comes between you and yourself, between you and fellow man or woman, between you and nature, between you and God.
The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately, it is not so much that you use your mind wrongly - you usually don't use it at all. It uses you. This is the disease. You believe that you are your mind. This is the delusion. The instrument has taken you over.
Being alone with themselves, people begin to hear themselves, it is possible only when the outside world is completely isolated. Sometimes a person needs to be alone, so that nothing will stop him from dealing with himself ... alone with yourself you talk to God .Without all this, you lose contact with inner silence, you lose contact with yourself. When you lose contact with yourself, you lose yourself in peace. Thanks for the interesting posts @luppers
Yes. We only get a chance to be with ourselves when all of the distractions of the world are gone, and we can spend some quiet time with ourselves. People often can't sit with themselves, but is it vital to recognize that we are not our thoughts but we are the observer behind our thoughts. Fantastic thoughts from you!

@luppers, In this piece one strong and clarity spreading message is their and that is, yes, we are becoming more Instrumental Beings more than Spiritual Beings. Our spirit is so much ancient and it doesn't need the consciousness of our mind because mind influenced by our physical happenings but our soul or spirit is uninfluenced by our situations and it knocks our inner door to awake and inspire or push us to think beyond our limitation because mind most of the times limit us and stops us to see the eternal and ancient truth of ourselves. Stay blessed.

Yes. A lot of society is based around things of the flesh and body yet for many centuries we have have this spirit underneath which perhaps to some, this is what all of this is about!

There is more to life n the current way of it than we can ever imagine or come to terms with:
Ephesians 1:9 He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him.
Isaiah 45:18
For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens (He is the God who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it a waste place, but formed it to be inhabited), "I am the LORD, and there is none else.
Could you explain those passages in more depth? I am interested to hear!

Sorry for taking long to reply. I didn't see your reply early. Ephesians & Isaiah (Books of the bible) are talking about God (The Great "I am") & The mysteries revealed through his son "Jesus Christ". Man in his fallen state (sinful nature) cannot comprehend the value placed on him by God and the great mental, spiritual & physical abilities within his grasp as long as he does not submit to his maker. He is blind to the true nature of his environment and elements influencing his being.
@luppers my brother I have already read your post twice and I have not yet fully understood it, congratulations on this great post

Look to the workings of Eckhart Tolle, this is where the inspiration for this post came from! I hope he can show you what I have tried to! Thanks for the resteem!

There is no power of the past and the future. We have no access to that.
Only now, we could use our powers.
What are these powers?
How to use them?
I am not sure. Do some research and let me know!
