Guest guest Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 It is so easy to confuse present awareness with the imagination that there is present awareness....and imagine they are the same because the words are pronounced the same way! -geo- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if one turns off the computer, sits on the couch " just for now " (no planned period of time) and is aware. If one is busy thinking and talking, sure, maybe there can be some confusion. One is imaginarily 'out there' with the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where it is not going. This is where it is. Here. Now. -t- And if it happens that one is " out there " with some other, or " out there " with thoughts...its not big deal either. Let time run ouf of its momentum. -geo- avast! Antivirus: Inbound message clean.

The notion that anything is happening continuously, falls away. One notices, with some amazement, that no time has ever been involved. What is, is now, a-causally, without having any past to it.
