Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1246800 Who said that you cant do all these things? The whole point is applying it to your daily life, you dont have to change anything or lock yourself up in a dark room. Its about being aware, whatever you are doing. |

I can think of about a million other situations where living for the moment can have catastrophic consequences in future life and possibly afterlife. Feed the hungry, visit the sick, free a captive if he be unjustly confined(kidnapped/enslaved by someone).

However, a certain agenda is trying to make the opposite happen, and its happening right now. Be aware, love will set you free. jmunny |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 11591025 United States 03/12/2013 05:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Living in the moment is great, but so many of human nature's greatest desires are ruined by those running around acting as if they are either spiritual or religious. How can a normal person have a nice fucking life if all those nice things are taken claim over by those flippin' fruits? When someone has links on bettering one's self without the word spiritual in the title, header, tags, body, or username tagline...please post it, I would be more than thrilled to read it and apply what I have read to my own life. |

User ID: 35530451 United States 03/12/2013 05:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Great thread, OP!!! There is so much positive energy in here, it's contagious. I really like how you describe in your opening post the practice of living in the moment - it reminds me of how I came to practice 'mindfulness'. Mindfulness is comprised of both 'awareness' and 'acceptance' - but it is based on releasing both the past and the future from your thoughts, and just existing in the moment you are in. Thank you for this thread :-) "Be still, and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10 Truth needs no validation because it is self-evident and undeniable. Therefore, anything that requires validation to be realized or justified as truth must contain at least some degree of falsehood. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] |

Just a generalization, situation based feelings are usually the main thing getting people in trouble and/or bad situations as with the examples, but they don't have to be limited to teens or pregnancy that's not the point. Not knocking the overall idea but majority of life requires forethought, consideration, etc. something quickly bypassed if we all just went on feeling, as humans our senses are extremely limited and often misleading. You all should know that being around people with dark, negative souls will only bring your down. Quoting: jmunny We'd have to physically leave earth to avoid being around "dark" personalities, after-all we're even governed by them, evil is present anywhere humans are.

Quoting: MuslimAmerican You are misunderstanding a bit, but you have all the answers in your post. If you live in the moment the way its been described in this thread then you will have 100 times more time to think, to reflect, to find your own true path. This is about growing as a person =) A normal person who doesnt pay attention let their minds wander thousands of times a day, and that is not productive. Less thoughts are thinked ''finished'', theres less consideration, less forethought and so on =) |

We are like flies crawling across the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel: We cannot see what angels and gods lie underneath the threshold of our perceptions. We do not live in reality; we live in our paradigms, our habituated perceptions, our illusions; the illusions we share through culture we call reality, but the true historical reality of our condition is invisible to us.” |

Spirituality is a direct connection to Creator The Most high. Anyone who inflicts pain on others will suffer themself from that pain.
