Future is a replica of the Past

Jan 26
Father, this mornin, very little laughter but I sense going in deep.
A fellow meditator called me yday, giving me encouragement. She said she wld love to volunteer n see me. She can't wait for me to share my experience of Samyama.
Mmm, m not sure if I be explosive like what she claimed but I know I will welcome d meditation mode.

The power of Now
You have had a glimpse of how the timeliness can transform ur perceptions. But an experience is not enough, no matter how beautiful or profound.
What is needed and what we r concerned wit is a permanent shift in consciousness.

Soul - same objective as Samyama. Actually, d fellow meditator has attended 2 times and d gal I Chennai also attend. I don't really see a shift. Perhaps they did as I don't know them. One thing I know is that don't hav expectation. My aim is just to enjoy d meditation.

The power of Now
Whenever u r able to observe ur mind, u r no longer trapped in it. Another factor has come in, something that is not of the mind; withnessing presence.

Identification with the mind, gives it more energy; observation of the mind withdraws energy from it.
Identification with the mind creates more time; observation of the mind opens up the dimension of the timeless.
The energy that is withdrawn from the mind turns into presence.

Soul - these days, I can sense d energy of the places I visit. I used to sense only good but now I can sense dull energy (like d market n hospital). I wonder is it becos m now present or my sensation is now returning. I wonder if others feel it too.

The Power of Now
Difference between clock time and psychological time
If u set yourself a goal and work toward it, u r using clock time. You are aware of where u wan to go, but u honor n give ur fullest attention to the step that u r taking at this moment.
If u then become excessively focused on the goal, perhaps because you r seeking happiness, fulfillment or a more complete sense of self in it, the Now is no longer honoured.
It becomes reduced to a mere stepping stone to the future. Clock time turned into psychological time. Your life journey is no longer and adventure, just an obsessive need to arrive, to attain, to "make it".

Soul - m normally going future.

The power of Now
Usually the future is a replica of the past. Superficial changes are possible, but real transformation is rare and depends upon whether u can become present enough to dissolve the past by assessing the power of the Now.

What you perceives as future is an intrinsic part of ur state of consciousness.
If ur mind carries a heavy burden of past, u will experience more of the same.
The past perpetuates itself through a lack presence.
The quality of ur consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future - which, of cos, can only b experienced as the Now.
Your presence determines the quality of ur consciousnes.

Soul - for years, I have been uncovering/discovering my unconsciousness. Opening all doors despite my fear n relucrance.
My plan was to unveil all unconsciousness that so I can be conscious.
But what is missing was after unravelling, they r still there. What I did was try to overcome it but its neverending. It has become a personal challenge. A war I seldom won.
But is now being said is that just for me to be Present n it can touch me.
I don't have to unravel, I now jus need to be Present. When I m present, I can't even be caught by my unconsciousness.

Evening
Today unexpectedly hav good lunch, despite not eating dim sum. M rejunevated. For d past few days, I was sad cos no good food but I still preservere. God is loving n give me some good food.

Jus now a colleague was asking for 'help' on d marriage. I told her that she can look at the Love cards for connection so she can hav d right approach. I m glad able to help. She said I hav given her insight on her husband. Thanks to her, m sure on my path.

I m seriously going into 7thunder card. Wanted to buy Destiny card n C is giving me as a gift.

I m not sure what will I be. But I wan to heal myself. I aim to be expert on
1. Love cards and Destiny cards
2. Osho tarot
3. Isha yoga (done to samyama)
4. Medical intuitive - Louis Hay, Laura Kandall
5. Coaching/counselling.

Feeling bit heavy on d head cos stop my meditation forcefully.

Bhagavad Gita
This is d challenge for the strong-minded, self-controlled devotee. Half-heartedness will not suffice.
Lackadaisical measure to substitute good habits for bad habits is a veritable fortress that will continue to protect the evil forces behind parapets of false reasoning and procastination.


Soul _ I will take this to means not being in the present. I now think it is habit and I am going to undone it.
It is quite easy, I am mostly aware of my tots..
