Life is constant motion, it never stops. If the moments arising is noticed there’s much more understanding of your life than if you’re blindly controlled by conditioned mind patterns…
If the moments arising isn’t seen that’s when conditioned mind patterns take over; it’s just the process in place. You can be in a state where you‘re happy and out of nowhere something triggers one of your mind patterns. The base of the mind pattern determines if you‘re still happy after it’s attached to. This is how it works, we’re pulled around by patterns and the moments arising is unnoticed so controlling energy attaches to what pattern is associated with the moment. This is where everything arises from, feelings, emotions, sensations, and whatnot. Hence the puppet on a string syndrome takes hold when the moments arising isn’t noticed. Think about this, you can’t have any feeling or emotional swing without attaching to the arising moment. Most people don’t really have an inkling of this and it’s why very few truly live life.
Here’s something to do to possibly understand the moments arising a little better. Make a commitment to sit for a certain time, say thirty seconds, keep it real. In those thirty second just watch the moment arise. Just sitting, looking, acknowledging, noticing, letting it arise and pass; all of this is just the moment arising. This should help in getting a better grasp on the moment arising. Increasing or decreasing the committed sitting time is up to the individual or don’t sit at all and remain a slave to the moments arising; as it arises it habitually controls your life. It’s each moments arising that makes life what it is and if this goes unnoticed so will most of your life…
