21st Weekly Thought:

The only place to start

The first obstacle we have to face is the function of mind to be in the future or past. We are dreaming of or fearing a future, we are missing or regret something what happened in the past …

We have learnt in step 0 not to judge with "good" or "bad" or so and now use the different adjectives for discribing what we see or experience . This trap of mind is behind us and we are ready to decide by ourselves - with guidance of our Inner Voice - what fits for us and what not etc.!

Now with step 1 we learn about the next trap of mind: being most of the time in past or future instead of in the only living moment: NOW. And the other part is that mind and senses are going around and be attracted by all these different things (including these nowadays social media, internet posts etc.) and so we loose the contact to HERE - the only real place, where we have to decide, what to do! ... In a Mega-City the city govt. thought about the growing numbers of accidents of pedestrians because of looking on their smartphone instead obeserving the traffic on street - and came to the idea, to place light signals on the ground, so that people who are always looking only downwards may see the warning from the signal. THIS IS MODERN WORLD!!!!! - And we can learn of this: the only chance to live is to control our senses to observe the area, where we are in the moment!

So let's start here and now! We are welcome!!!
