My life experience of dealing with the meaning of one’s existence is a very long story. What I want to share is how I deal with my daily life. I have come to a very simple approach: I live in the Moment.
Live in the Moment
1. Be in a relaxed position
2. Focus on breathing out slowing and inhaling similarly (5-10 times). As in each step, if other thoughts come in, just refocus
3. The big thing is this next step.
4. Focus on the wonder that, in this moment, you exist in this humongous and beautiful universe. Whenever a thought about the past moments, days, or experiences emerges, just refocus on this beautiful MOMENT. Whenever a thought about a future moment (or day, etc.) emerges, just refocus on this moment.
That’s it! I live only in the MOMENT (obviously I often think of other things, e.g., the destruction of our constitutional government) for in the MOMENT, I am aware of being alive in this wondrous universe, knowing that we still do not know the parameters of it. Wow! I no longer focus on my physical “deterioration”, based on age. I do not attend on my future, knowing that I will try to stay in the MOMENT. The future will be what it will be.
For me, the MOMENT is the only reality in my life. The past (moments or years) no longer exist. The future does not exist. Thinking about either does nothing, e.g., worrying about how I will die is such a waste of time, e.g., I could stop breathing in the next moment. Thinking about a future that only exists in my imagination is such a waste of energy. It does not exist! At this moment, I am with you in spirit. What more could I ask?
