Now

Posted on by philipdodson

My writing today is a simple message to myself. Whatever the question is, the answer is always now, as is stay conscious and present in this moment now. Our life is always now. Yet we make the present moment an enemy and see it as a means to an end.

We see now as ordinary and boring as we want to fast forward to the next ‘big’ moment. However, when the so-called ‘big’ moment arrives, of course, it is now and we are already onto what is coming next so we are not even conscious or aware of this big moment.

Life for most of us is a denial of what is and a thought to what is next.

Now is our entire existence and we need to spend as much of our time as possible being present and enjoying our real life, as all things apart from this moment are temporary.

What we believe we lack

Posted on by philipdodson

What we believe we lack is, in fact, what we do not give to ourselves and others.

For example, If we think that people do not listen to us, then it is actually the fact that we are poor listeners.

Whatever we believe is lacking can be easily resolved, we simply need to give to others first what we believe we lack.

So, if we believe no one loves us, we need to start by giving love to ourselves and others. If we believe no one listens to us, we must first listen to ourselves and to others.

The world is a simple reflection of ourselves as we are one and the same. We manifest our own reality in the exterior world.

Give and you shall receive, which has to be free from expectation and then it will return. If we place an expectation, then it is simply manipulation rather than genuine love from our true essence.
