What's Your Reality ?
17
• What remains we either interpret as 'PRESENT', -
or discard it because we don't know where to put
it.
Practically seen our life is only what we feel and experience NOW. - Even when we think of 'the past' or plan 'the future', we do this only in the present.
Thus - if we want to change reality - to alter what we experience, - only what we do NOW - in the present - has an effect. Dreaming of better futures only, or waiting for some starting signal, or reminiscing bygone triumphs never moves anything.
The PRESENT is THE ONLY time
in which we access reality.
As trivial as this may sound, few people are aware how much they ignore this fact. Most like to dream how they would like the world to be, without doing much to make this happen, and without ever trying something genuinely new and unknown.
Time-slices Certainly, we experience time in small consecutive slices, - but not always.
When we are learning something, - a sequence of movements, a new task, handling an unfamiliar emotion, facing a new challenge, - time presents us the respective events like in slow motion. We experience such episodes as sequences of outdrawn, lingering moments, - as if seen through a magnifying glass.
