JUNQUE

If all I thought, said, and did could be summed up in words and put here that'd be pretty pathetic. I am a human being with a myriad of values, emotions, and perceptions of the world: both inner and outer. A few labels that describe my beliefs to some extent are: Absurdist, Buddhist, Pacifist, Anarchist, a Lover, avid Reader, Horror Film Buff, and Free-Thinker. Otherwise, look around, if you like then follow me; I try to make my page as eclectic as my personality and interests. Have a good life.

Meditations #3

What is essential to reality?

The now is all which matters when it comes to reality. The present is all there is to reality; there is no past or future. Only memories and expectation. These give us the illusion that what has been and what will be are. I say “are” because we are talking of existence in the present tense. The present is all there is in reality.
Now, being mindful of the now, we can only know of existence in the now. Be mindful that one has their own body and mind. So each individual in reality has their own form, sensation, perception, will, and consciousness. All which is essential in this individual is the present state of their form, sensation, perception, will, and consciousness.

There is no past or future for this present state; only the present. Yet the present is merely a segment of the process of history. The present state of historical process is the actualization of annihilation and creation at the same moment. This synchronicity creates a byproduct; a result from their synergy which manifests itself as out present. It is this act of creation and destruction which our reality rests upon as a basis. We are but a singularity in a process. Existence owes it’s existence to the birth and death which exist as one and at once.
