The present moment is all you have

“Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have.”
~Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now

“Consciousness is the ability to release the old and embrace the new with the awareness that all things end at the appropriate time and that all things begin at the appropriate time.

This truth is difficult to learn to live with because human beings seek stability – the absence of change. Therefore becoming conscious means living fully in the present moment, knowing that no situation or person will be exactly the same tomorrow.

As change does occur, we work to interpret it as a natural part of life and strive to ‘flow with it,’ as the Tao Te Ching counsels, and not against it. Trying to make things remain the same is useless as well as impossible.

Our task is to contribute the best of our energy to every situation with the understanding that we influence, but do not control, what we will experience tomorrow.”

~ Carolyn Myss, Anatomy of the Spirit, p.241

Becoming Conscious

To remember

Consciousness = ability to release the old + embrace the new with awareness that all things end at the appropriate time and that all things begin at the appropriate time.

 

Dingen laten komen zoals ze zijn geweven in je levenslot

Wat kan er beter in je behoefte voorzien?”

Zoeken en gehechtheid aan dingen

”Gehechtheid aan dingen valt vanzelf weg
als je niet meer probeert jezelf te vinden in dingen.”
