Practice Being Present

 

In order to be present, you have to make changes to your daily routine. That means you have to meditate twice a day, but also in any free moment throughout the day. There are plenty of free mediations on YouTube. 

Try to use Meditations to align your soul. These are good starters to find the I am within you. It's also a good idea to forget the past and the future. If bad memories arise in you, reflect but do not dwell. Dwelling on the past causes you suffering. This makes you miserable, and it attracts more negativity. 

By practicing true Zen Spiritualism in your daily life, you will find true happiness because you will be able to separate your soul from your ego. Your true self will shine through. 

Enjoy the present moment, and live in it. Know that there is nothing that happened in your past that can hurt you now. Know that you can't wait for the future to come to you, you have to work on it now. Often times our minds race about one or the other or both. 

You need to quiet the mind, be still and calm, and in that moment truth will reach you. It will come to you like the flow of a river, gently at first, but eventually you'll know what the soul has always known, and you will be able to be present. 

Your mind is going to always want answers, it's never going to stop. You have to come to a point when you realize the answers are inside you, and the mind still won't understand that. That's okay because that's what the mind is meant for, but that doesn't mean you have to continuously search for answers in the matrix. The answers aren't in the Matrix, they are in your soul. 

Think of what brought you here. Eminem's music resonated something in you. You were hearing all these messages, and your mind was wondering why. That's what brought you here, because you were desperately searching for answers, for meaning in it. There is no Rhyme or Reason for it, it just is. Your soul heard the call, it's ready to awaken, and become. That's all it is, and there is no actual mission beyond that. You just need to be that's it, and once you can do that, you add your energy to those other few who are awake, and you help awaken others by just being you. 

You shine your light, and you continue to express your thoughts and opinions without caring what others think, because you accept the fact that they are still unconscious and that's okay. You'll still do you but will ignore the haters, because you won't let your ego get in the way of who you are. 

You won't dwell on the past, or worry about the future, because you are living in the now. The problem arises however, when your mind is searching for answers, and you try to find them in the general "spiritual" community. This leads you astray, because they don't have the answers. They think they do, and they send you off on these "journeys" that you have to do all this stuff, all this healing and cleansing for you to be ready for Enlightenment. That's living in the future, believing you have to do this list of stuff, that you have to do BEFORE you can become spiritual. That's not the case, you can become spiritual right now, all you have to do is what I've been saying. If you do want a guide, I suggest you subscribe to New World Allstar on YouTube. Watch his free videos, and if you feel you need guidance beyond that, you can purchase one of his courses. Yet, you don't have to, because as long as you listen to what Kurt says. (Which is basically what I'm saying here) 

Live in the now, the present, and don't dwell or worry about anything. You will experience true happiness, and not care about outer negativity. 

When it comes to Eminem's music, you will express your love for it and not even give a thought to the haters feeding the negativity stream. Nor will you feed into it by responding at all. You won't need to, for you know your truth, and that's all that matters. 

I'm not saying you won't experience pain, because everybody experiences pain. What I'm saying is that you will no longer suffer, because you will no longer look to the past or the future, and accept what is. You have to search within yourself to find the answers you already know. 

Often times, we forget to live, because we are trapped in our minds. We live through our personality, our thoughts and our feelings and that's what we believe we are. I'm here to remind you that you are a soul, that you are not your mind. 

You can't fight with your mind, because that doesn't work. You need to observe your mind and decide what thought patterns are good for you and which ones make you suffer. Only then can you be sure your living in the present, because you have overcome your own thoughts. 

In other words you just have to be, if you want to live in the now. Be alert, be aware, and let things flow. To practice being in the now, when you are doing everyday things like dishes or washing your hands, focus on that. Focus on what you are doing, and stop your mind from wandering between past and future. 

By focusing on that, you are in the present. Your mind will try to fight back, it will try to take you over. You may find yourself thinking, while you do that task, that you have loads to do today. What you might do next, when are you going to have a break. All of that doesn't matter, it hasn't happened yet. Accept the thought and let it go, don't dwell on it, and you will be present. 

You need to slow down, don't try to do so much in your life, don't wear yourself thin. You need to make time for you, you need to just be and accept what is. You can't do a million things at once, why worry about them? Let them go, and focus on them only when they are in the now. 

You can be present in every moment of your life, and when you are present you enjoy life more. You will also see the difference between life and your life situation. A person might not have anything going good for them in their life situation. You could be homeless, and still be happy. Why? Because that person knows that life and life situation is different. That person is Enlightened. That person has become truly spiritual, and by doing that they have realized the difference between life and life situation.
