The present is all there truly is. The present repeats itself to become the future that you both dread and desire. The past is simply memories of what was once the present moment. Regrets and mistakes don't matter when you fully live in the present. So give everything to the present. All of your focus, determination, and effort. Leave nothing on the table.
>>42394719Which is why i should focus completly on the now and the growth.otherwise i am decomposing
>>42394719Someone's been reading Eckhart Tolle
>>42394719That's beautiful
>>42394719A fool says in his heart, “there is no God”
>>42394740Also known as hippy jesus
>>42394719There's a wave peak on the exact now. It's where we should be aiming for. God is on the epicentre of the peak.
>>42394719What table are we talking about?
>>42394719Good idea.
Each moment of the present is balanced with a temporal and anti-temporal condition to where there is no time.
>>42395054The table of chance.
>>42394719The present and the duration are both mutually necessary and mutually implicative fundamental views of reality. You cannot fully inhabit the present without some implicit awareness of duration; the very recognition that this is the present moment requires a felt contrast with what came before and what is yet to come. Bergson understood this when he spoke of durée — the continuous, flowing nature of lived time that cannot be sliced into discrete nows without losing something essential. The present is not a knife's edge. It is thick. It has depth. When a musician plays a note, the note only means something because the preceding notes still linger in consciousness and the coming ones are already anticipated. Strip away that duration and you have not a richer present, you have silence. So I would not say abandon the past and future. I would say dissolve them — let them flow into a unified, living stream of experience in which what you call the present is simply the crest of a wave that needs the entire ocean behind it to rise at all. To live fully is not to narrow your awareness to a single point in time, but to feel the whole of your existence gathered and pressing forward into action. The regrets you dismiss are the very material from which wisdom is forged. The hopes you caution against are the very current that gives the present its direction and urgency.
>>42395325>The present and the duration are both mutually necessary and mutually implicative fundamental views of reality.This is an expression of the fundamental theorem of calculus. Calculus has two basic operations: integration which allows for the calculation of cumulative change such as area, and differentiation, which allows for the calculation of instantaneous rates of change such as veocity or acceleration.The FToC llinks them together as inverse operations that "undo" each other - they are two sides of the same coin. This isn't just a principle of mathematical change, but phenomenological and metaphysical change - the nature of all change.The perspective of the present moment is the perspective of differentiation - instantaneous change. The perspective of the duration is the integral perspective - cumulative change over time.
>>42394719There’s a downside to this btw. Why would a criminal shoot a store clerk in broad daylight without a mask in front of multiple witnesses? Because he lives entirely in the present moment. Right now he either leaves with money or leaves without money. The future consequences never occur to him, because the future is just an abstract concept. He doesn’t have to pay immediate consequences, therefore there are no consequences. The “future him” is literally another person having no connection to the current him. When he later gets arrested, he’s living in the present moment where he literally didn’t do anything wrong, he was just walking down the street and suddenly these cops tackled him for “no reason.” It wasn’t him that did it, it was some other person called “past him,” again an abstract concept.
the present is like clay and all life was given the ability to shape it. everything outside of the present, such as your memories and your anticipations, exist beyond the clay and is ultimately your connection to the one who gave you your clay shaping ability
>>42394719Yeah, no shit.
>>42394719And there is no present moronThere is only the past- once your mind analyzes the moment, its goneThere is no time
>>42395392you dont understand yet thats because you're living through your mind bro, wake up your real self the one that is truly you, the only one that contemplate life as it is, not the fake one your mind made up, you will be amazed of your abilities, the world needs more people living in this state of mind, once you get it your prescense alone will liberate others.
>>42394719>So give everything to the present>Leave nothing on the table.thanks, i feel it is powerfulhere is some sound fun (recording of bansuri flute)https://upload.disroot.org/r/X5B70t2k#rRnbHW++Evzkn9SvavwwdBUOfFSaZDh3DTPd2Vocx5I=

Based and kingly.
You got this.
>>42397794Oh...
It's honestly embarrassing when white people try to larp with enlightenment stuff. They come to the dumbest conclusions like "oh be a vegan or do social justice". Just stick to worshipping your jew on a stick, it is what you do best. You love being on your knees. You're supposed to be goycattle so act like it. Stop questioning things so much. You don't have the ability to understand higher things like monks can.
>>42394719AKSHULLY any time youre observing the present its actually the past because youre in the future reflecting on interpreted data
>>42395366Yep.When you totally live in the moment like Eckhart Tolle, Ramana, and my pet dog, you lack the ability to hold down a job, to finish school, to store food for the winter. You become dependent on other people to survive. Learning to live in the present can be nice if you treat as a state you slip into and out of at will, rather than something you must dogmatically cling to at all times.
>>42398188Get good.You go insane and logic stops applying.Everything just happens.
>>42394719Any and all observation and/or experience of this so-called "present" happens in the past.
>>42398223Literally me
>>42394719This is probably the best way I've seen this explained, thanks OP. It's hard to keep this in mind sometimes but I'm trying to be more in the present. It's the key to manifestation.
