A different face...Same message...Same BEing

"Total Presence will Come and Go Like tides at Sea"


"Thank you Ketki for Inspiring this post"

Ketki replied to the previous post and shared her awareness of another BEing with the same message of Now.  "Shi Shi Ravi Shankar"

Ketki also created a discussion on Blog Catalog asking people the following question;

Where is your mind most of the time.?

On an average day, where do you find your mind dwelling ..?
In the past?
In the present ?
or in the future?

You can answer this in percentage..

Example-
Past- 2%
Present-70%
Future- 28%

In reading replies I found that I sometimes share feelings of not being able to stay in the Now, which can often be felt as frustration.

In this video Shi Shi talks about this frustrated feeling in a beautiful way. 

He talks about how we can sometimes separate the spiritual times in our life from the mundane.  Like a room we may sit and meditate in and feel oh so connected and still.  Then we walk into the other parts of our life and damn...I've lost the connection....hmmmm I should be in the Now but aghh...I will have to wait until I get back to my still room. :)

He explains that we may separate the parts of our life within the mind....spiritual times / not spiritual times and in doing this we cause a duality when in fact they are one.

We may then take the frustration of not BEing present into the next moment and perpetuate the none connectedness.

This can be stopped in its tracks by just BEing aware that this can happen.  Awareness that is Now.

I have found that total presence will come and go like tides at sea and this is totally normal and due to the human collective consciousness.  There will be a time that the tables will turn though. 

The power of present consciousness is FAR more powerful than negativity.  It doesn't take much light to make it possible for everyone to see in the dark room that we live in!

Every time each BEing reaches a state of total presence even for a moment, they light the way for others.  This is how important and special EVERY BEing in existence IS!

A question was asked to Eckhart Tolle in his book The Power of Now about negativity;

Q:  "How do we stop negativity from arising, and how do we get rid of it once it is there?"

A:  As I said, you stop it from arising by being fully present.  But don't become discouraged.  There are yet few people on the planet who can sustain a state of continuous presence, although some are getting close to it.  Soon, I believe, there will be many more.

Whenever you notice that some form of negativity has arisen within you, look on it NOT as a failure, but as a helpful signal that is telling you: "Wake up.  Get out of your mind.  Be present."

And this is just it!  This is the reason for negativity....it's our wake up call :)  We can treat it as a friend!
