Upon further reflection, I recognize that the last post could be interpreted many ways. I want to clarify my view. I want to express a sense of responsibility in the view of my expression. I wrote;
"What does this leave me with?? I cannot see all the stuff we want and carry as really that important any more. But what I can see, is the one thing we all share, the fruit fly, me, the sun, the solar system, the universe and countless others, we all share this present moment. That is where there is significance. Here and now. What will I want and what will I carry, what will I think, what will I express, when I view all things from this perspective?"
To answer some of these questions, perhaps it would be easier to say what I won't want, what I will leave, what I won't say or think or do.
In experiencing this view, it seems that there is not any real value of carrying resentments, past issues that are not here and now. I experience something that I may associate with some form of suffering, but if that experience is past and no longer present than there is little value in still carrying it.
In the experience of this view, there seems to be little value in creating suffering for someone else, especially to my own benefit.
In the experience of this view, there seems to be little value in mentally going over and over past events, and mentally taking myself from the experience of this moment.
In the experience of this view, there seems to be little value in berating myself on any topic.
In the experience of this view, what is the value of causing any suffering either for myself or for others.
I think that is what I will say for now. This is an expression of the value of living here and now as opposed to living in the past. Even though I have experienced this and do continue to experience this, there are times that I still get drawn back. So I have received the lesson and experienced the lesson, now I will practice the lesson.
Thank You
