Present

Have we ever really thought about how being present can shift our world, our reality? This morning on the way in to work I was so present with the clouds, the road, my Tahoe, and even just the silence and then I thought, "What about my past?". It's at that very moment that I realized that to be completely present in full means we don't bring the past into our NOW. What good is it doing there? Really, think about that for a moment, why bring the past to the present?

I thought about this for a second and tried to think about something in my past and could not doing it. I felt peaceful and loved at that moment and didn't care about what had happened, or even what I dreamt that happened. Instead I found myself whole and complete in the moment of what really was. I also realized how our past can influence our present moment. When we are visiting the past and bringing up our could've/should've we immediately knock our self into one side or the other of judgment. Either I'm right and now I want to validate that in experience a strong emotional charge while driving to work, or I'm wrong about that and I have a strong emotional charge while driving to work. Either way has the same result, wasted energy.

Many people will call up or visit folks from their past to right their wrongs; I say re-write their wrongs. Why? Because all they are doing now is making excuses and trying to convince the other person that everything really is okay. And it's not really about the other person at that point, it's about their judgment; which causes their illusion that something was wrong. But if everything is really okay is there ever really any need to bring up the past? Think about that for a moment folks. If you are where you need to be at this very moment and you know that your past brought you to where you are in this very moment, then why not allow that moment to be and quit trying to correct what you believe to be "WRITE" or "Unwritten".

Interesting how funny we can all be. I know I've been there a thousand times and probably more than that over many life times. But all we have is right now. The experience that we signed up for "write" now. Yes, I know I'm spelling it that way. It's intentional. So that we can see that we are writing, not righting anything. Get it?

So someone might ask, "Well if I don't do what is right how can I keep from hurting others?" Wow, this is a very good question. The heart is never wrong, it's only "WRITE". It is write to bring you to your story today. So if you feel you've done something wrong, then so be in seeing you're still divided within the mind. Once we are all centered within the heart all there is is the experience.

What does being centered in the heart bring us? Peace! True peace for what is real, not for what we are thinking about being real. When you do your statements there is a question regarding, "What are your thoughts?" This question is to allow you to see how deep the illusion really is. Because now you can see that you are creating more and more of that illusion in your life. Does it really happen? Not the way you've probably written it, but take a look at it and really explore with the depths of your being.

So how do we stop being torn between our past and live in the present. When we stop visiting the past and judging it. When we simply stop visiting what I would've, could've or should've done instead of just being in the moment and appreciating the now. The bigger the pull to history for you the more to resolve. The deeper the shadow. There is no history, only the history you need to believe that you are who you are today. I know, been there and done that with the Indian Race. My sadness was deep because of the history I believed, but I know now it was my illusion of separation and need to identify the pain with a cause.

Enjoy today! Wake up tomorrow reborn. That's truly what those words mean, reborn. Each day you awaken to the reality of love.

Belief Statement: Sometimes I can't remember how I got here and feel confused at first, but then I realize it doesn't matter. I gain awareness while losing nothing.

Spirit Statement: I know now confidence that reality is awareness in everything.

Enjoy! Velvete
