Moments between doing things

[QandC]

Ever noticed those small, almost pointless gaps between tasks during the day? Like, when you’re waiting for the bus, standing in line, waiting for food to heat up in the microwave, or just waiting for your computer to start up. They’re those little slices of time where you’re technically “doing nothing,” but they still happen every day, slipping by without really meaning much.

It’s like these moments aren’t long enough to do anything productive, but they’re not exactly relaxing either. They’re just... there. Most people probably don’t give them much thought—they’re just part of the day that passes by without leaving a trace. But if you add them up over time, they probably take up a pretty big chunk of life. It’s weird to think about all these “in-between” moments just adding up, day after day, until they’re a pretty big part of our routine.

Sometimes, people try to fill them, like scrolling through a phone, rearranging things on a desk, tapping fingers, or just staring out the window. But even when we do something to fill the time, it’s not like it really changes anything about the moment. It still feels like a kind of waiting period, a blank space that doesn’t really contribute much but keeps happening anyway.

Makes you wonder if they even serve a purpose, or if they’re just part of the background noise of life. Just those random moments we pass through every day, between the “real” parts of the day, without thinking twice about them.

People make up things to do, so those moments shorten but they are the real moments, not whatever task you are doing. That is what 90 percent of life is doing on the planet and its its natural state.

Humans are scared of those moments thats why they start doing other things. If you sit in those moments for prolonged time you will start trancing out.

Humans made up everything we do in society because they were scared of these moments and they are continously running from it by creating more and more 'problems' or new things they feel like they must do.

The mind is always trying to find something to do. These moments are a distraction from that. Instead of counting the wasted moments and adding them up to say how much time is wasted during tasks doing nothing, maybe say how much time is wasted doing things that distracted me from recognizing the self. Those tasks are more pointless than those precious moments.

Purpose, Meaning all come from Mind, which is Survival based, if You didn't have a survival based Mind, you/we would not survive very long, so its a build in mechanism, its served us well to get where we are, but its becoming our Master, and its very distorted now, with ppl on their phones 10hrs a day, just scrolling, it dulls it makes it less sharp, almost useless...

We are so obsessed with DOING, that BEING is forgotten, its in those inbtwn moments that we are BEING, just here, just now, no meaning, no purpose, no goals, just BEING, once You get this as an Intense Experience, it should give You Joy, then your almost there.
