Do you understand that the mind is not you ? It is, according to the Buddha, another sense, like the sense of sight or hearing. The mind senses the inner world of thoughts, which I am sure you have noticed, never stop coming.
Life is not lived properly like this. You are trapped in the prison which is your mind.
It is like being trapped in you ear! All the time most of us think of ourselves as being in our head! We have truly become a slave to our thoughts, and, let's face it, most of our thoughts are a complete waste of time.
It is essential to live in the present, as if we don't , we are not really living. The future is a mirage; it is created by our imagination; we are simply considering all options that we think are going to happen. To be alive, we must be in the absolute present. You create your own future by what you imagine it will be. Nowadays the world is in such a negative mode with these absurd austerity measures most of us are experiencing, that we live in a constant state of fear about what might happen. We must stop planting these seeds. To do this stay focused on the absolute present. Only then are you alive and living as you are meant to.
