I couldn’t help but
think of the ‘Power of Now’ and all those new age spiritual teachings.
So let’s look into
the Power of Now.
Do YOU really have
the power in the ‘Now’? Or does the ‘Now’ in fact have power OVER you?
If we practically
look at how every moment comes into the present – the NOW – we can see that
everything that comes-up in every moment within one’s MIND is in fact defined
through past experience, conditioned perception, and accepted definitions in
terms of ‘positive’ and ‘negative’.
What comes-up into
the NOW is in fact the predetermined result of accepted equations conditioned
through a life time.
So really – how can
one think and believe that one has the ‘power of now’ without being of aware of
the fact that the present is defined through the past and thus the future is
predetermined?
Do YOU define every
moment? Or does every moment in fact define YOU as it comes-up already formed
and in-formed through the depths of the ‘unconscious’ that determines the
perceptual ‘reality’ of the ‘conscious’!
It is crystal clear
and one would only be fooling oneself, thinking and believing the Power of Now
is somehow some ‘magical’ or ‘mystic’ power coming through by ‘divine will’...
The Power of Now is
the power of conditioning, the power of habit, the power of systems: it’s all
been there before, the road is paved, the filters of perception are set, you
already KNOW.
What comes up in the
NOW is what you already KNOW.
Where is the power
in that, when everything one perceives is already pre-determined, conditioned,
pre-programmed!
So the question
would be – is there any chance for actual power for self, for change? The
answer is Yes.
And the key to the
answer is HERE.
The HERE of the actuality of reality.
What does that
imply?
It implies questioning everything that
automatically comes-up as the NOW that the MIND perceives to KNOW, and instead
looking at what is Here as a result, as consequence –
to see, realize and understand CAUSE and EFFECT,
in other words: to see, realize and understand how the ‘Now’ is conditioned and
what effects the particular conditioning causes in the actuality of reality
HERE, the one reality we all share.
It implies looking at How our HERE is created
and acknowledging, realizing and understanding the role the PATTERNS play which
we accept and allow ourselves to participate in and exist through, as
personalities / character roles / personas of this world system – which we are:
we are products of the system conditioned through ‘reward’ and ‘punishment’ and
set to exist on survival mode from within and as an awareness of self-interest,
based on value judgments of ‘superiority’ and ‘inferiority’, ‘winning’ and ‘losing’
(polarity system).
So –
it is to realize
that self has an actual choice in every moment that is HERE:
The choice of either
following the conditioned patterns and pathways of consciousness based on the
k-NOW-ledge of the past and accepted value judgments of polarity (which, as we
see in the world, OUR HERE, only lead to patterns of blame, vengeance and
abuse);
OR – the choice to
look at things in self-honesty and common sense from the perspective of LIFE as
oneness and equality, and see the CAUSE and EFFECT of our existence of
separation, to realize that what we have accepted and allowed ourselves to call
‘life’ is not in fact supporting or creating life, it is only causing abuse,
destruction, disease, disgrace, death.
We human beings tend
to look at and define things in terms of polarity. This approach however
creates merely a judgmental human being and does not really allow for an actual
LEARNING experience. Rather, people become fanatic about what they deem as ‘right’
and ‘wrong’, ‘good’ and ‘evil’.
Is the ‘Power of Now’ good or evil?
Well, if you really
wanna look at it from the perspective of polarity – one could say that it is in
fact evil, because the manifested consequences of the conditioned equations of
consciousness result in an existence of separation, abuse, exploitation, both
within and without.
The problem within
looking at things through and as polarity, is that through assigning value
judgments in terms of ‘good’ and ‘evil’, automatically the world is divided
into battlefields of groupings that blame each-other and seek righteousness in
revenge or dominion, ending-up disregarding completely our actual and common
value as LIFE.
Looking at it from
the perspective of common sense, we can see: the Power of Now is OUR power that
we’ve abdicated to systems to automatically drive us, define us, direct us.
The ‘Power of Now’
is/has become the power of the System – the power of systems over life, where
self-interest is placed before life and separation has replaced our oneness and
equality as life.
We can see this
within and without:
In the inner,
self-interest drives us to selfish actions that manifest in the atrocious
outbursts of the human psyche that we are confronted with day in day out (look
in self-honesty at your own relationships with your world and dare to read the
news in your local newspaper!);
In the outer, the
world system, profit is placed before life, and life is exploited for profit,
and this modus operandi has become so accepted that we barely even question
what the fuck it is we are allowing to exist in OUR existence in OUR name by accepting
the current system as is.
At this point many
will protest and will think or say “oh no, I am not accepting the system, I am
against the system...” –
but honestly, have a
look at how we all exist: every individual existence has its starting-point in
self-interest, in the survival fear that drives us to constantly compete within
what we call human RACE, and as long as we exist trapped in mental concepts of ‘superiority’
and ‘inferiority’ regarding only our ‘individual’ pursuit of ‘happiness’, we
are in fact accepting the entire system as is and are allowing the system to
exploit life for profit, because that is what we do within and as ourselves, in
thought, word and deed.
The Power of Now can
be regained.
OUR power can be regained –
by walking in self awareness as life here,
taking self-responsibility for what is here in every moment, becoming/being the
directive authority of ourselves in self-honesty and common sense as life.
This also implies seeing, acknowledging and
understanding the consequences our existence within and as systems of
separation and self-interest has had on life as ourselves, each-other, our
world; and realizing that since we are Here, our responsibility is Here, and
this responsibility must ultimately encompass all life equally, as One –
Then we can make sure that everyone has WON
and then the power of NOW will be the power of life, where in every moment our
existence within and as our living-participation is ensuring dignity and
respect for ALL LIFE as ONE, as equals.
The NOW exists as
the conditioned Knowledge of consciousness within individual MIND BUBBLES where
each one is trapped in and defined in separation from life as a whole, existing
merely as a mind consciousness system set to survival mode.
The HERE is the
all-encompassing time-space existence that includes All that is Here
equally and functions in understanding of cause and effect, thus manifesting/revealing
results as consequences in terms of who we all are and who each one
individually is.
HERE is the
actuality of existence as a whole, it is our oneness and equality.
Currently, our oneness and equality is that
of survival systems resulting in abuse and separation.
The challenge we are facing as human beings
individually and as humanity collectively is the transcendence of our oneness
and equality and thus our awareness from its alignment with/as systems of abuse in separation and
self-interest, into a oneness and equality as life and thus into an awareness aligned to/as what is Best for All,
an existence that moves and interacts in the interest of life as a whole.
It’s about Stopping all abuse, all
separation, all manipulation and deception – changing the systems of our
existence within and without to truly be/become beings that SUPPORT LIFE, as
who we all really are – so that we may all live in freedom, dignity, and
respect, and finally dis-cover and explore what it means to LIVE and EXPRESS.
