Just being present..no future goals

Jul 12
Father, it was a good session and we all enjoyed ourself.

E said I am drunk most of the time. I said then its great cos I am drunk without drinking, a great life, so its a good thing. E said he meant it as a compliment, I got personality.

Diamond Heart - Book 1
The problem is that when u r trying to reach a goal, u r separating urself from ur present reality. U r not living in the present, and u r rejecting who u r at the moment.

U set goals to accomplish certain things or to be a certain way because u believe that the way things are and the way u r at the present time are not good enough and won't get what u want. U also think that having no goals would mean that u would be bored or lazy or half-dead, or that there is something wrong with u.

Having goals in this way is one way to live ur life. A second way is to live in the present, to be who u r at the moment, as a completeness and a fullness. This means actualising who u r.

At any moment u r who u r, and there is no need to be anything or to go anywhere. It is because u r not who u r that u want to be something and u create all these goals and aims. Because who u r is missing, u have no true direction; ur life feels meaningless, insignificant, with no value and no orientation. U attempt to fill this deficiency with goals and ideals and aims in order to create a sense of significance, meaning, fullness, importance and etc.

However, when u let urself be who u r instead of trying to be something different, u experience everything in ur life as significant and important without even thinking of things as significant and important, by virtue of just being, just living.

A person living in the present can have goals, but the goals are not to be something, the goals are an expression and the result of who the person is at the moment. The person is already fulfilled, and that fulfillment can then manifest as certain goals.
