Living in the moment is simple concept, but it is not easy. If you try now to come into this reality for thirty, or even ten seconds you see how hard it is. Each flash of presence is quickly swamped by a flood of random thoughts, emotions, and associations, called “chatter.” To be able to tune out the chatter takes time, instruction and effort.
When we are can achieve our reality in our recovery this internal chatter is silenced and our child within briefly appears, looking through our eyes and hearing with our ears. Our ordinary self views this as a hostile invasion, and it immediately generates chatter to once again veil our child within.
The self within us, and within the six billion people who surround us, continually exalts the external: doing and making, planning and avoiding. Yet over time we see that our greatest challenge is the invisible internal battle—the battle inside the moment to value the objective, wordless state of presence over our habitual thoughts and emotions, our sense of “I”. To place our identity within silent presence, rather than within our recurring opinions, feelings, and habits—this is the most radical change a human being can experience and leads to sustainable peace and serenity.Related articles
