How to live in the NOW

[tides2dust]

One of my favorite quotes,
"Consciousness is a singularity phasing through all beings"
Erwin Schrödinger.

I have to thank Dr. Greer for introducing it to me in his film close encounters of the fifth kind. It eloquently explains how I've felt about it all... Which you'll see is similar to how you feel about it.

As we have these kind of forum discussions it is important to draw distinctions and come to common definition-

This morning I saw a friendly squirrel... When he looked at me I felt there was more than a squirrel looking at me. It felt like an omnipotent intelligence was choosing to look at me through the squirrel in that moment.

This is why I say consciousness and mind may be separate things. And why you say separate but not separate. Illusory but not really.

I believe that omnipotent intelligence is guiding and loving. And I believe it may exist independently from the squirrel. But that it *also exist in the squirrel. In this cute and friendly creature is an All-Powerful ever pervading Intelligence.

It makes me wonder... I think consciousness can exist without mind, but maybe mind can not exist without consciousness.

Makes you also wonder what Bob Marley means when he says, "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery."

Living in the now may be about being present- yes, but it may also be about being in alignment with that intelligence.

Will time be the same for us in our next incarnation? What would being in the now be like when we move on?

These last few years it feels like Spirit has been guiding me to understand life from a non-ordinary perspective... Like maybe I am preparing for life on a different world.

And to clarify... Additional thoughts
Sometimes drawing from my past helps me live in the now.
Suddenly, as I sit there in stillness and ruminate-
I open my self up to something... Whatever that something is... Whatever that opening is- I begin to feel more Alive. I think I may be tuned into the Now-
Aligning with that intelligence...
Again, that being and that feeling is something more than *time

It often feels like a portal  opens up in my head- and the empty space around me is a little more tangible.

I think of everything as energy. We are all energy. It cannot be created nor destroyed, just changed.
