WhiteOwl Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 As the title questions; How do be more present from moment to moment, and does it get easier with practice? The only way to be more be present, is to be more present it seems, but i have a strong addiction to thoughts. I can be more present and really be mindful of my task and whats around me. Like really feeling the sensation of the cucumber while i cut it, then being present going to the trash etc. It just feels like something is missing, and i can't stay there long before thoughts take over and takes me somewhere. Does it become easier with practice, sort of like with meditation. It is kind of meditation. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will study it carefully (again) 😃 Now studying is being added too. 🙂 How many moments are there direct experience wise? What is the experience of the moment that isn’t this moment like? Can you go to it and report on it? How are you moving from one moment to another moment? Do thoughts take you over, or is ‘thoughts take me over’… a thought? Does it feel like something’s missing… or is there the thought ‘something’s missing’… and how that thought feels?

WhiteOwl Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) @PhilIts only the present moment. There is no moving from one til the next. But there seems to be some addiction to focusing on thoughts instead of sensations. So the question could be rephrased; Does the pull towards thoughts get weakened. But well.. meditation. Yes There is just how those thoughts feel. I feel so great recently, but thoughts that i might lose it or "go back" occurs. Its just more thought though and how they feel. Thats great lol Edited May 29, 2023 by WhiteOwl Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartdominance Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Concentration power and self-knowledge are highly underrated. Imagine a consciousness that cannot regulate its attention in any way, much worse without the wisdom to slowly grow it and you will discover a consciousness who's power and knowledge it possesses is in the hands of its distractions.

Do you want a physical absolute answer that fits anything evolving specifically occupying space for the time its cycle lasts forward now(time)? Doesn't matter inorganic or ancestral displacement of everything currently here. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pluto Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Continue the mindfulness and meditations 🙂 The thoughts will appear to distract you or instill fear because they are old fear-based programs that are crumbling away. Don't dwell or attach to them too much or you will empower and prolong them, instead let them come, let them go, remain in being present.
