Here and now

Strange things happens to people when they are trying to relieve themselves from their rational bind to connect to the present, or trying to be in the moment because their rationality confuse experience with the numinous. Todays organised religion, ideology or -isms doesn’t have anything to do with our present inherent sense of being in the moment or to the connection it makes to the numinous impressions we have of earth or of place. Earth no longer have any part in that. We have become so rationalised that we can no longer share the numinous in the present with each other without resorting to one form or the other of rational collective identities. Religious or otherwise. Our impressions of inner meaning and information are not transported across distances and time; they are an integral part of the numinous in consciousness expressing itself here and now. And our beliefs in the sense of an inner relation to that is not anything rational, it is something that cannot be taught. It has to be re-lived anew by each individual. It is a unique relation between ourselves and our life. And it contains both physical and metaphysical connotations. It is an earthly experience going on both inside us, and all around us. And it is all to obvious that if we live in bondage to rationality, our reason suffers.

”Now” is definitely now. We try to experience what is available there, on the spot.
There’s no point in thinking that a past did exist that we could have now.
This is ”Now”.
This very moment.
Nothing mystical, just ”Now”. Very simple and straightforward.
From that ”now-ness” however, always arises a sense of intelligence,
that you are constantly interacting with the reality, one by one, spot by spot, constantly.
We actually experience fantastic precision, always.
But we are threatened by the ”Now”, so we jump to the past or to the future.
And that is not trusting the ”now-ness” properly.
That ”Now” that is actually experienced possesses a lot of powerful things.
It is so powerful that we can’t face it therefore we have to borrow from the past and invite the future all the time.

Här och nu

Här är nu. Detta omedelbara nu. Nu. I detta ögonblick.
Här i detta nu finns det omedelbaras direkta kunskap. Upplevelsen av att agera med nuet under ett enda ögonblick i taget. Så påtagligt, så överväldigande. Så storslaget att när vi egentligen borde befinna oss här och nu istället flyr till gårdagen eller fantiserar om framtiden.
Att värja sig, att fly närvaron för idén, för allegorin, för myten, den föreställande närvaron.
Vi är bara här. Helt enkelt. Nu..
