Solution / The moment

When you think you know, you know the least because you can’t know. You can only assume, hope or expect. As none of these is entirely good for you, it’s best not to think you know anything, not to hope, not to expect.

‘That’s hard’, many of you will now say because you believe that hope brings salvation.
And why live at all if you live without hoping for anything…
Well, that’s exactly why: to live. Because if you’re always hoping and expecting, then you’re not living, at least not in the present moment. All your thoughts become focused on the moment when your hope becomes reality.
The present moment is everything you have in your life and it’s all you’ve ever needed or will ever need. Without the present moment, you don’t exist; it’s what you are. You are this moment.
When you clap your hands, you’re in this moment; when you jump up, you’re in this moment; every bite you take is your moment; every breath you take shows you that you’re still physically alive in your moment.
This moment is so precious, so full of tiny and delicate textures that you simply go through it without even noticing it. And by ignoring it, you destroy it because it’s all here now, and it’s not interesting enough for you. Right now, you want something you don’t have and you want to go there.
And so you do, but only in your thoughts. Your body stays in this moment like an abandoned ship at the bottom of the sea which is just waiting for a stray diver to discover it.
In this manner, not only do you lose the moment, but you also lose yourself. And then, after a while, you start to wonder why dissatisfaction has started to crawl inside you, why your thoughts have taken on the shape and speed of laundry in the spin cycle, and why the desire to be outside it all is beginning to move through you. If it were that easy to go in and out of lives, it would be unlikely anyone would even make it to adulthood.
So, that’s why the system is the way it is, to show you everything you wanted to be shown, to reveal to you all the secrets you wanted revealed.
Tears, pain, or maybe even laughter might come with the revelations, but all of that is what you wanted, although it might not seem that way at present.
You’re fighters, but you forget that when you surrender to sorrow. Sorrow is not bad, but only for a certain time. It’s s a companion you have to say goodbye to at one point.
Stand in front of yourself and look at yourself. But look at yourself honestly. Discard all those flimsy covers you pull over yourself to protect you from the world. Beneath those covers is a powerful person, full of happiness and self-confidence, full of desire for the life that she’s chosen to live. Let her come out and let her move about, and then follow her and connect. After that, go within for a moment and stay there.
Live one moment at a time and rejoice in that moment. That way, you’ll always have joy within you because a moment is an uninterrupted piece of existence. The moment is all that remains of existence when you enter it with love and with an open heart.
Then you see only the magnificence of yourself and the magnificence of the moment you’re in. Nothing is important anymore, or necessary. Everything else will come on its own. So, live your moment. Live yourself.
