Noticing the absence of the self

[SoonHei]

today what happened to me while I was driving is that I was doing a breathing technique to be in the present moment and I was doing this throughout the day. 

 

so I of course recall leaving my home and then I knew where I was going to be and what my destination was and throughout that time in between our remember traces of the memories of my travel from home to my destination but I had this thought upon reaching my destination but I don't necessarily recall how I got here from my home. it was almost as if I was literally living in the present moment and not having even a moment's recollection of what had just passed and at the same time that I ask myself how exactly that I drive my vehicle so perfectly without crashing or bumping into anything and following all the traffic rules (hopefully )

@SoonHei Remember Leo's video about Understanding Awareness? 

If you do, contemplate about how the concepts discussed in that video applies to what you just mentioned about living in the present moment.

Consider how many YEARS you have been alive and how little experience you have had with this degree of "presence" with no reference to the past "I".

I hope you see what I am pointing to.
