In one word, I would use Presence.


Yeah that’s good too. To be present in and appreciate the moment, not to dwell on the past or future too much. :thumbsup:

Impossible as there is no such thing as now.
There's then and there's when.

Where am I now then?

In the past.
Where will I be in five minutes?
In a future that will rapidly become the past but at no point does it park up in the now.

For there to be a now something would have to stop.
Stop for the shortest possible teeniest moment but stop it would have to.
We know it never stops.
Some mystical guru might say now is attainable but he's talking mystical hoodoo voodoo bullshit.
You and me never stop.
Does your blood stop flowing your cells stop multiplying decaying?
Maybe we attain now at some point in death.

I am in the now. I’m aware it’ll be gone soon.

Ooh another meaning of life...consciousness.

And that Buddhist one... mindfulness.

The age old question what is the meaning of life maybe the answer is now!
If we find now and grasp it hold it tightly we might have the meaning of life!
Understanding how a bunch of atoms started thinking is so far beyond our understanding.

that's true of memory (then) and future (when). the only point in time is now, oh, thats a memory, now, now, now. :Hiya:

the elements don't think. like a mountain, it doesn't think, tsunami, fire, earth quake. are simply things like You scratching an itch or having a shower. inadvertantly step on a Slug or Worm. all these Organisms that die as a result of us just doing what We need to do, be it proactive or neglect (I seriously need consistent hydration) is the same as the Earth doing what it needs to do. for the most part there is no malitious intent Living Our Lives. ignorance and neglect abound. think of some of Your routines, a simple one You unconsciously do often. try change Your method of doing something in particular. You Will find that to actually change the method You must first become awear of it and then focus on changing method, other Wise Your muscle memory takes over. the only way to change anything is with Consciously applied thought. a baby only thinks about walking, They don't concern them selves with thinking to much about how and what they want to do, They just do it. Your nail, sole of your foot isn't conscious of what it is doing only You are, not even the Cells and other bacteria and organisms are aware of the consequences of an inadvertently placed foot.
