Leveraging the Power of Now

4/15/2010

What is your core state of being, the zero point center of who and what you are?

Everything in your life, every person, relationship, every situation and experience has brought you to this point, to where you appear to be in this moment. One of the tendencies of physical focus is to hold on to past experiences, to anchor them in consciousness and continue to relive them over and over again.

Whatever the mental story that emerged out of the events and circumstances of the past are kept activated and identified with within your being in the sequence of your Now-moments. And so this new moment, this instant that is itself a brand new You-niverse is seen through the lens of these stories. You don’t get to fully experience how new everything and everyone is in this moment. Because of these stories, because of the past that is still kept very alive within you, the freedom of your being in this moment, the purity and innocence of all your relationships and of your own being are hidden from your direct view.

This is where the power of releasing the past and the stories it generated within you becomes a powerful practice. Choosing to release the past is choosing to let go of everything that your mind says came before this immediate moment, this immediate right now in which you appear to be reading these words. It's choosing to let go of all of your stories. It's recognizing that the majority of your thoughts and reactions are based in the past, they are not reflections of your Still Center but rather extensions of old interpretations and definitions you continue to house within your being.

In your letting go of all that your mind says happened to you prior to this instant, in allowing yourself to just drop the thought patterns that narrate a story about what happened to you and with whom, you experience the effortless untouched freedom of your Core State.

What is here in this moment when you release all thoughts from your mind?

What is happening right now when you are not looking to thought to answer this question?

What's here and all around you when you cease generating meanings you learned in the past?

You are at your center a field of pure and total freedom. This innate freedom, this undercurrent of openness and vastness that is masked by the stories your mind generates moment after moment, is always here in the immediacy of the present moment. Accessing that Core State and allowing yourself to stabilize within it lets you step into a reality where each moment is seen to be the brand new beginning that it truly is.

The design of this space-time environment offers you a completely blank slate moment after moment. You may have heard the quote that no man steps into the same river twice. In the same light, no being ever steps into the same moment twice, nor do you come into contact with the same person twice. Everything and everyone is constantly changing, flowing as and within the vast stream of consciousness that makes up this world.

So the question is:

Can you allow yourself to experience your core state right now?

Can you let go of the narrative in your mind to experience yourself just as you are, to experience everyone and everything just as it is in this open moment?
