Like the stereotypical mushroom or acid trip I’m staring at my hand.
What is reality? Is reality what I can see, hear, taste, feel and smell? I reality what I can experience? Is reality only my own experience? Is reality what I tell myself about myself?
Let’s say it touch my thumb with my index finger. I see something is happening. I feel something is happening.
I don’t know where I’m going with this…
Too much mental exercise right now. The better question is, ‘Why do I need to know what reality is when I can just accept it?’
Done. No need to worry about it anymore. I can always go on and on, philosophize about it, write a book, quote Alan Watts and the Dalai Lama. Eventually, it’s just for the fun of it because whatever conclusion I come up with I have to accept. Only if I accept, I can liberate myself from the boundaries I created.
Is it raining? Accept it. Is it hot? Accept it. Am I sad? Accept it. Am I happy? Accept it.
Certain things in life might be easier to accept and others might be harder. Either way. The act of acceptance lets us move on. Once I accept that I don’t have money in my bank account right now, I will change my perception. Now, I’m not focusing my energy on a ‘problem’ any more. I accepted was ‘is’. Therefore, I’m ready to receive the next step. Ready for change. I’m opening myself up for something else because I admit what reality is right now. If I worry about not having money in my account, I’m not focusing on reality because in my head I have created a future where this is a problem. That’s not reality though. Reality can only be what is now. Since the NOW is all there is. If yesterday was an actual reality why wouldn’t we all give ourselves some good advice about today. You break your arm and you wanna go back in time and tell your past self not to jerk off so hard. Hahaha
You wanna go to the future and have a look if you built a successful business. Why would that knowledge matter. You still have to put in the work today.
Acceptance liberates you from being stuck. Nothing in this world stands still. Everything is always in motions. By accepting we allow minds to stay in motion and we move on. Change happens. Change is reality.
Time for coffee. Enjoy this beautiful day.
