The body anchors one in NOW. When this alignment occurs there is harmony, but if the body isn’t used as an anchor the mind continues to grasp for objects and NOW remains elusive…
Although life only happens NOW, NOW is probably the most elusive place for one to not only remain in, but to get to. To me the reason for this elusiveness is because one tries to get there with the mind and most minds aren’t disciplined enough to get there, let alone stay there. Because of the way we have evolved as a species, most minds are in constant motion of the past or future trying to figure out how to make life more pleasurable, and although pleasure is attained at times it never last for long. This is how the mind views the NOW also, it knows it’s where life happens intellectually and there’s much pleasure here, but it doesn’t fully grasp what this means so it never settles. It’s one of the reasons objects are used and until there’s a shift that allows one to see the NOW through the body, the NOW which allows peace remains elusive.
The body becomes the source of light for the awareness of the NOW when this shift happens. There’s nothing more to do with this shift except to practice becoming more aware of the source of light of the body. There are many objects that the mind uses to keep the NOW elusive, but the body regardless of the object the mind grasp for, is always in the NOW. When a thief cases out a place, he’s in the NOW, but he’s in the mind. The body anchors one in NOW so when this alignment occurs there’s harmony. This is as natural as life itself, but if the body isn’t used as a NOW anchor the mind will continue to grasp for objects and NOW will remain elusive…
