Why the
means you use to achieve 'Being in the moment' will effect the
quality and extent of the outcome.
In our
experience, your soul is like a very long multi-coloured set of
Christmas tree lights. Each light represents a soul form or
part of yourself living in a different environment, dimension,
society and so on. Now, by and large you have energy
connections between your different parts. For some people
these interactions are more obvious while for others less so.
Often, these connections bring with them irritations that
restrict your expression and limit your choice both here and
elsewhere. These irritations are representative of traumas,
issues, challenges, restrictions and limitations that bleed
through from the original existences into others where they
manifest to varying degrees including here.
These
irritations are very important (again from our perspective) as
they provide you not only with subtle (or not so subtle)
information about other parts of WHO YOU ARE but they also
provide entry points to gain access to these other parts so
that you may for example begin a more thorough exploration and
take steps to resolve these irritations at their origin.
These
irritations cause difficulties to 'living in the moment' as
they are very effective (at least in this reality) at pulling
you out of the moment. They can be viewed as parts of yourself
wanting something resolved. However many approaches to being
in the moment are intent on using focusing and other means to
suppress the irritations to achieve this goal.
You can take
a larger perspective approach and resolve the irritations, so
that you no longer have them or you can take the little self
is useless approach and try and discard, ignore or suppress
them so that you can create a 'living in the moment' sanctuary
untouched by these disturbances. With a strong intent, will
and desire (or someone else's guiding you) you will certainly
get your reality to manifest this movement and eventually make
it true (I know I have). However, this is done through force
and control rather than cooperation and understanding between
your own parts.
We are not
saying that it is either right or wrong - as nothing is. We
are only saying that there are possibly routes that will lead
to much greater achievements within ALL THAT YOU ARE rather
than just the little bit here and that these possibilities are
well worth considering.
For example
during my own explorations within ALL THAT I AM I came across
a dozen or so parts of myself that had achieved this 'living
in the moment' state. We (these parts and I) discussed between
ourselves this state and for example why it's effect beyond
that existence was so limited with regards ALL THAT WE ARE
when so much is made of it. All these parts agreed that it was
worth the effort to achieve this focus but that most were
disappointed that it's influence was not broader. As they had
all taken an approach that diminished, discard or suppressed
the little self and it's irritations then why should success
in 'being in the moment' within a particular existence have
any impact beyond that existence when no effort has been made
to include or even explore what is beyond?
It should be
understood that you have huge and vast resources of
experience, knowledge, information, wisdom, knowings and so on
held within and spread throughout ALL THAT YOU ARE. At the
very least, it could be said that had I had the capability of
multidimensional access that I now enjoy after living just the
first existence focusing on achieving 'being in the moment'
then I may have saved myself the bother of taking exactly the
same approach at least 14 other times. That is to say
that an exploration of what some call perceptional phenomena
can provide you with insights to help you make decisions that
will facilitate you to take a more effective approach.
So, we remind
you that perhaps there are other possibilities beyond what are
taken as accepted fact within certain spiritual circles and
that combining multidimensional awareness, an intent and
willingness for internal cooperation, understanding and unity and
access to the whole sweep of knowledge and experience THAT IS
YOU gives you much more insight than you can ever imagine
possible. Of course approaches that disparage the so called
little self and who view perceptual phenomenon as little more
than "stories" would have a heart
attack at this suggestion.
We would
recommend that you consider the possibility that you can
master the little self and that listening to what it is trying
to tell you ABOUT YOU will perhaps be much more useful as a
means to spiritually grow compared to approaches that will try
to annihilate, control or suppress it.
Why
should you even try and achieve a state of 'Being in the
Moment'?
With the
experience we have now we feel that there is a possibility
that trying to 'Be in the Moment' could actually be the
opposite of why you are choosing to be here.
Part of the
process as we gradually access and merge with all parts of
ourselves on all levels is that we can feel directly what the
environment is like that the currently merging part of
ourselves inhabits. When this part is from a much higher
energy level then we can often feel for example the
flowingness, wholeness and 'being in the moment' ness that is
inherent with that environment. In other words, in some (if
not all) higher environments you are automatically in the flow
/ moment / feeling whole and connected whether YOU WANT TO BE
OR NOT and WHETHER YOU HAVE THESE QUALITIES AS PART OF YOUR
SOUL OR NOT. In other words these states are a direct function
of the parameters of that environment and you don't have to do
anything to be in these states you just are in them. In fact
you would have to work extremely hard to achieve even a
temporary 'Out of the moment' state.
This
environment has time, and it has space. Things are therefore
separated in both a time sense and a space sense. We also have
lots of other parameters that help keep us separated and self
aware. Which is not how things are in higher environments. In
other words this environment is designed to keep us out of the
moment, out of the flow rather than in it. If this is the case
then why should we try and achieve states that are a) an
inherent part of our existence on others levels such that they
are impossible not to achieve and b) extremely difficult here?
We could say
that trying to 'Be in the Moment' is actually going against
the flow of this reality. So, why would you pick a reality
which is completely out of the flow? How would this benefit
you? Well if you are 'out of the moments' or 'out of the flow'
then this actually allows you the opportunity to see the
moments and what you are like in these moments. In other words
being 'Out of the flow' gives you the opportunity (should you
take it) of seeing who you really are and what you are really
like (in other words your limitations). This out of the flow
state is something that some beings on higher levels would
give their right arm to experience as without this ability to
step out of the flow you cannot really see WHO YOU ARE and
therefore don't even have a starting point to understand
yourself and your limitations never mind actually being able
to do something about them.
