My little simple philosophy of life

[Someone here]

I really don't know anything about anything. 

I only concern myself with the present moment.

The quality of the present moment is all that matters.

Because the present moment is all that exists .

I might go to sleep tonight and never wake up again.

Therefore I don't think or plan the next week ahead .or even the next day .

I live completely spontaneously in the now .

Osho agrees with me on this :

What do you do the other 23h 59min of the day?

There is nowhere else to live other than this moment.

Purify your ego of Time’s undue influence, and you will come to realise the same.

Past and Future don’t exist other than in the human mind.

Time is our creation, not a universal truth.

Beyond Time, there is Eternity.

Eternity is what remains when Time is restored to its rightful place.

The problem is, we lost control of Time and now Time controls us instead of the other way around.

We have travelled so far outside of ourselves, we no longer remember our way home.

Without Time hijacking ego, Past and Future are denied airtime and the return journey is an effortless arising.

This moment is home.

No matter how far we think we’ve travelled, the truth is, we never actually left.

Personally speaking, I live in Eternity, but I occasionally visit Past and Future when its useful for me to do so.

I deal with the issues of the moment  .I never plan beforehand  .if something in the moment needs organising then I will do it . If not .then not. Quite simple ,Eh?

I ask for real.

Because I am also in the state of total not planning in most of areas of my life, but when it comes to my 9-5 job it really makes it harder for me to stay in that vibration. So I am just curious.

You only be In the present moment. 

Have you ever caught your body mechanism in the last moment or the next?

Thoughts can however go back even before the big bang or it can go forward to the millionth big bang or more!

Thought is time and time is thought.

LIFE is always HERE and NOW.

In order to get inspired you could read some books about it. A popular one is "The power of now" by the spiritual author Eckhart Tolle. Tolle was voted as the "most spiritually influential person in the world" in 2011.

As far as making money ..you can still go to your job and do all your obligations..it's just that you are no longer the doer .you become the witness to your thoughts and deeds .a passive impartial observer. Rather than an active doer.

I am doing good with my practice, didn't ask for advice. Thanks, though. Actually Power of now was the book that started my journey 6 years ago.

Just was curious about your source of income. But do not feel pressured to share. Nevermind.

He did it because that is what he is...a teacher. Telling him not to is like telling a fish not to swim lol. He better make sure he aligns his life with what he naturally is....lol. Oh he will be trying to teach at work when that's not his job lol.

Now what he chooses to teach? Who knows...

I've been listening to Eckhart Tolle quite a bit, and he said that it is not about not making any plans. You can follow a plan for the day/week/month etc. But the importance he points to, is to be present in the moment where you are in midst of life. Be it at your job, school, vacation, free time, etc.

If your job is a heavy on your mind, it becomes increasingly harder to stay present with what is. But in such busy jobs, he suggest to find a few minutes here and there to become present.. Or simply switch job, if non is possible.

According to tradition, the Buddha offered the answer on one of his many journeys: “Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. ... Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.”

If you follow Buddha’s teachings then you don’t need trust. You hear what the teacher teaches and you go back to your practice. You verify everything the teacher teaches in your own practice. You don’t need to trust the teacher - you do need to trust yourself. And you need to trust the teachings. The teaching are not the same as the teacher.

Many spiritual traditions, especially those derived from hinduism, proscribe to the belief that one must completely submit to a Guru in order to achieve any spiritual anything. The Guru is the gate keeper - he will either let you in or he won't. The Guru is the supreme authority and the disciple submits to the Guru fully, completely, unquestioningly. That is supposed to be the only way to enlightenment. I personally disagree with that, so did Buddha.
