Be Present

Often we are caught up in what Robert refers to as the “thought-stream”, or the “monkey mind” in Buddhist philosophy. We get stuck in memories, assumptions and projections. We are not experiencing what is really going on, only our perception of it – filtered through our memories, assumptions and projections.So what is necessary to step outside of the thought-stream and focus on what is actually going on around us?  Be Present. It is about letting go of projections and seeing clearly with both inner and outer vision. The Buddhists call this moment – to – moment awareness. Shutting the mind down when it is projecting by turning attention outward. That is, noticing what is going on around you rather than your own thoughts and responding rather than reacting. However you do it – use something that works for you, try a few methods if you have to. Call me if you get the shits with it and we can talk about it a bit more and maybe clear up those pesky projections. <3
