STOP VOMITING YOUR PAST OVER THE PRESENT
The separate self keeps re-creating what is not here anymore. It keeps itself alive by thinking about things that are gone, things that were.
It will think things like: “I remember when I was ten years old, I was with my friend Jimmy on Tuesday afternoon, it was mid-winter and we were walking home from school….etc, etc,etc.”
All day the separate self needs to do this, because this activity creates the appearance of a so called separate self. It is a fabricated psychic world of non-existed past and future imaginings.
This almost constant resurrection of past can be referred to as vomiting or the resurfacing of undigested past. Instead of the past experiences just going into the make of what you are now, they keep being vomited back out as if they can’t accept that their time is over, long gone by.
When the vomiting activity stops, your attention is just present, just breathing, hearing, seeing and feeling the sensation of the body. This is called pure perception. As pure perception, there is peace, rest, silence, stillness and wellbeing.
However, without the constant resurrection of the past, the separate self starts to disappear, it will start to fade like the phantom that it is. The separate self cannot stand the peace and joy of being, because where peace is, the separate self has no existence. So, to avoid disappearing like a sandcastle on the beach, it quickly starts thinking and talking about things that are not here again, to make sure that this image of the long-lasting separate self is reconstructed.
It is now so normal, that barely anyone would even consider it to be a strange phenomenon. It is now, a worldwide, socially accepted form of insanity.
So the separate self keeps itself apparently alive by vomiting inside clear space of presence. This vomiting is what we call thinking.
In public, we don’t just do it in our heads but we do this out loud, where we call it talking.
Yet, the present moment it is the most alive place there is. In fact, it is really the only place there is.
This is where the sages, this is where the masters, this is where the real gurus live, in the mystery and wonder of the here and now, uncontaminated by past.
So, just BE now, instead of repeatedly vomiting inside your own head with past and future imaginary scenarios. Instead of reincarnating all those old emotions. Instead of vomiting on the dining table with everything that has long passed away. Stop putting your attention to this fictitious separate self that falls apart the moment you remain present.
What are consequences of just being here now? Well, you will find a very pleasant surprise. That the peace, the love, the happiness, the silence that you have always longed for is right here, in the being of what is.
True happiness. Not the fleeting happiness that comes and goes with time, with the buying of objects, getting money, or a new partner, new holiday or something other. Instead, you will find the real lasting ever present joy that is in the silence and stillness of the absence of the vomit of the past.
So stop vomiting inside your head. Stop puking out your remembered past or projected future all over the PRESENT.
Rest in the PRESENT without vomit and the present will reveal it’s pristine splendor, it’s joyous beauty and it’s eternal love.
Stop vomiting, LIFE IS GOOD NOW!!!
