The Tool of Now

Using the tool of Now to cope with life eliminates many of its seemingly problems. This is because what arises never causes a problem as long as you’re using the tool of Now…

Nothing needs to be dismissed for one to be free. Freedom can not be found by pushing anything away. Pushing something away would be likened to getting rid of something, but truly getting rid of something will only happen when it’s dealt with. If it’s not dealt with it will never go away. When it’s dealt with it won’t have to be pushed away because it will naturally fall away. This is how one has to approach each moment if freedom is to be experienced. The way the tool of Now is used to cope with life as it arises will eliminate many problems because a problem is generated by not using the tool of Now. Granted it may be something that really hurts and has no benefit whatsoever, like the death of a loved one, but if it’s not dealt with in a way that it’s not pushed away, the energy of the situation will get stored and remain hidden until it’s time to rise up again. This is why the same thoughts are repeated over and over automatically; they have to repeat themselves because of the trace energy in place.

Using the tool of Now can allow you to be with what arises and not push it away. The only reason something is pushed is because it’s not wanted. This pushing is the same energy as grasping, it’s just used differently. Using Now is a tool so there’s no pushing or grasping. Pushing and grasping may seem like they’re a different action, but they’re the same attachment. This is very subtle to see and it will only be noticed when you’re using Now as it arises. So regardless if life is labeled good or bad, it’s all the same attachment, and the only thing the applied label does is block one from using the tool of Now…
