Live in the moment



Live in the moment……

“ Your mind is flooded: first, with outward reactions and reflections which are natural; second, by subconscious thoughts which have been produced by the society; and third, by instinctive nature which has been suppressed totally. These three constantly flood the mind. And because of these you are constantly wavering – constantly wavering and trembling. You cannot even sleep. 

Dreams will continue; that means mind will continue wavering. Twenty-four hours a day, the mind is just a mad thing going round and round and round.

In this state of affairs, how can you be still? How can you attain the posture, the non-wavering mind? How can you achieve it? And when the rishi says that non-wavering knowing is the posture – the right posture – he means that unless these layers are broken and the contents released, you will never be in a state of pure knowing. The mind will not be cleansed; you will not attain the purity of perception. So what to do? What to do to achieve this non-wavering knowing?

Three things: one, whenever you are living moment-to-moment, don’t allow your subconscious to interfere constantly. Sometimes, just drop the subconscious and live in the moment. It is not needed…”

“ The most characteristic feature of a modern man is the absence of unity in him and, further,
the absence in him of even traces of those properties which he most likes to ascribe to himself,
that is, 'lucid consciousness,' 'free will,' a 'permanent ego or I,' and the 'ability to do.'
It may surprise you if I say that the chief feature of a modern man's being ,
which explains everything else that is lacking in him ,
is , SLEEP. “
G. I. Gurdjieff
