Now is Not Broken

Just stick with what’s here. There is this moment. What’s wrong with it? Any thought you have right now, I’ll guarantee you it’s a thought about fixing some other moment. Look at your thoughts and see. Aren’t they all about fixing some other moment? And what other moment but this one is there, ever? There is only this one – now – and nothing is wrong with it, ever. Right here, right now, is there a problem? This moment now doesn’t need fixing.

Do you see the futility of all thought? All thought is about a different moment, but you’ve already got this problem-free one present all the time! Just stay here. Just stay right here and don’t move a hair in thought. You don’t need to think to be here, experiencing now; experience is not thought. Once you move a hair into the future, in thought, you’re into what can be made better about some other moment that you look forward to experiencing at some other time. Right? Can you ever experience another time? Do you get that this is what your mind does? Do you see the futility?

Notice this happening and you might not be so apt to travel all over the place in your mind, fixing all those other moments that you will never experience, because you realize all you ever experience is now, and now is not broken.
