Are you living unconsciously?
No science here just logic
I am not going into a heap of scientific findings here just some simple logic. Are you living in the present fully conscious or are you living in the past or the future unconsciously? Well I just posted on a friends profile and thought I would share it with everyone. This wonderful person has hearing difficulties and I think in some ways it could be an advantage, read and let me know what you think.
You are what you think about
Hearing makes us who we are in a lot of ways both good and not so. You will know the saying "The mind is everything - What you think you become - Buddha", well I also believe we actually are what we don't think about. In other words, if we didn't hear all the negative out there and let it influence us we would actually be better off.
Live for now not insane
Another way to look at it is if we learn to live for right now, being present, no past or future thinking which actually is insane because it is not real (the past is gone and the future is not here) some would call this being unconscious (not living). We are human beings, aren't we. Not human wasings (past) or human wantings (future).
Why are so many unhappy?
Take a close look at hearing people, why are so many unhappy? I believe it is too much noise (hearing) from unconscious past or future thinking people not living for now in the present, worried about what has happened or what might happen. In other words, insanity and there are millions that live that way every day. A simple definition of insanity - "hearing or thinking things that are not real right now"
The advantage
I believe non hearing people could have a huge advantage, they are immune to the noise. Believe me, I don't wish deafness on anyone but I wish I sometimes had a switch that could block out all the noise and turn it on only in times of calmness or in the presence and beauty of nature.
A change is coming
I would just like to leave you with one thought. Something that has and is changing my life every day. This one thing could change the world.
When someone speaks to you unconsciously (not nicely) just remember don't judge them, don't argue with them, just accept them for who they are. We are all different. Judgement is the scourge of humanity.
We are all gifted and have greatness inside us just waiting to be released. Live for the now, in the present and you can achieve whatever you can conceive.
I want to thank Eckhart Tolle for his wisdom in helping me to understand life and humanity a little better. He is truly and inspiration to us all.
