“Did you know that In 2005, the National Science Foundation published an article summarizing research on human thoughts per day? They found that we have 60,000 thoughts a day, and 95% of them we had yesterday”
When the Thai master Buddhadasa was asked to describe this world, his response was, “Lost in thought.” But we also know that if we’re honest, we’re in a virtual reality a lot of the time. We’re one step removed from what’s actually going on here. There is an incessant inner dialogue going on within us
The Buddha said that living 24 hours with mindfulness and awareness is more precious than living 100 years without it.
The present moment is the place from which your entire reality is created. Your relationships, home life, work, and experiences all spring forth from your thoughts, feelings, and actions that occur in a string of infinite moments. However, most of us live our lives running from task to task, distraction to distraction. We wake up each morning with an endless list of “to-dos” and go to sleep feeling like we didn’t accomplish anything meaningful. We meet and interact with many people throughout our day but yearn for a deeper sense of connection and intimacy. We are tossed around by the ups and downs of our emotions and the events of our lives and accept this as “normal.” And even though we have the intention to take time for ourselves and to meditate, these often get put at the bottom of our lists because life simply takes over … but it doesn’t have to be this way.
When you understand the transformative, healing power of awareness, you dramatically shift the experience of your life, the people in it, and the world itself.
Tom Hennen writes in his passage “The Life of a Day”: For some reason, we like to see days pass, even though most of us claim we don’t want to reach our last one for a long time. We examine each day before us with barely a glance and say, no, this isn’t the one I’ve been looking for, and wait in a bored sort of way for the next, when, we are convinced, our lives will start for real. If we notice. If we are aware.
When you understand the transformative, healing power of awareness, you dramatically shift the experience of your life, the people in it, and the world itself.
