This comes from one of our own DF members. I feel compelled to share it with the rest of you........
Once you understand that the only way to understand yourself....
Is to realize that it's all about remembering.
I have come to understand....
That we are all born with perfect knowledge of who we are
And gradually over time....we are convinced otherwise…….
And we forget.
It's always interesting when people become true to themselves only in the present moment.
Most of us....
Live either in the past or the future.
Our thoughts go to something that happened before…..
Like regret.
Or we worry about the future
Which may not even happen.
Once you come become aware of the present moment, you become aware of all of the joy of living in the present moment…….
Not the past,
Not the future.
It's interesting because the present is where we all are,
But we choose to exist in the past or the future.
Kind of like dancing!
When you are on the floor and you can really feel the music.....
Are you thinking about something that happened last week?
Or worried about what might happen?
Or are you just in a zone where nothing else matters?
And you become acutely aware of everything around you?
Once you think of music and dance in a particular way....
You will never listen to music or dance the same way again!
