o most of us, thoughts of the future and past obscure the present moment to a great degree. We consider experience gained in the past to be wisdom and knowledge acquired to be understanding. We consider the pursuit of ideals and goals to be virtue. We believe that what has "happened to us" in the past has formed and molded us into our present selves. Regret, remorse, resentments, as well as expectations, hopes, and dreams all serve to prevent us from experiencing the present moment. Reality is in the present moment and cannot be in the past, nor the future as they do not exist,
We see, hear, taste, and smell, touch and maneuver through the material world around us. We rarely consider that these senses may be creating an illusion that is based more in the way we process sensory information than what is truly "out there." One example of this is that the world you see, the table, the wall, the computer screen in front of you are not seen "out there", you see them in a sort of screen within your mind. When you touch, taste, smell, hear, you are experiencing only mental phenomenon.
Another example of the illusion that we live in is related to the processing time of our perception and thought. If osmething is too large we cannot sense it, if something is too small we do not sense it, if something moves too fast, or too slow, we simply cannopt perceive it or its movement. The hour hand on a clock is a great example.
Take a look at an object in the room right now. Do you realize that the particles that create the substance of that object are moving at such intense speeds that you actually see them in millions of places as if at once. This is what gives our world a sense of stability and staticity that simply does not exist. If those particles stopped moving suddenly, there would be a bit of dust on the ground. Imagine if the speed of your thought and perception processes were greatly speeded up, s that you could see the movement of the particles. The world would take on a more fluid and phantom appearance, perhaps the unity of all things that the mystics write about would be more evident.
Our life and affairs revolve around the particles in our world, the space is often ignored. We do not often think of the silence that enables the tones, tempo, and harmony of music, nor the physical space that enables material objects to exist.
Reality is not what we see, hear, taste, smell, feel, move, nor orient through. What our sensory and mental systems perceive is what they are programmed or conditioned to experience. Prior experience and expectations play a huge role in that perception. Reality is only in the present moment, while experience and knowledge are in the past, and expectations and ideals are in the future.
Subliminal messages were prohibited on radio and TV as early as 1974 by the Government of the USA. These were previously used to increase the sales of popcorn by almost 62 percent. This is a topic in a number of Derren Brown "mind" shows that are bro

Most people don't really understand hypnosis. We've all seen the stage shows were people do strange and unusual things under the power of hypnosis. Things that they would never do in real life. Have you ever stopped to think about what is happening t

Since the end of the Industrial Age, men have lacked proper male role models. Pampered by our cushy white-collar jobs, our hands had become soft and our will has turned to mush. We have become the proverbial 'yes man' of the corporate world lacking a
No one who has hugged their child can doubt the gift of a child's presence in their life. The love that is expressed in that simple act is one of the most profound ways that we experience love in this world. In order to nurture the special relationsh
Wherever you live, whatever you do; there are always norms or rules as guidance. That couldn’t be a problem as long as people and or living things take better places than any of those norms.
