Hi, I'm New Here!
I've been searching for a site like this where I could talk about spirituality with people who see things similar to me. Although I am open to new perspectives and hope you will lend a hand in my personal development. I have never really believed in "God" or christianity and believe it is all a farce. I believe you find strenght from within and in nature. When I stare up at the stars at night in my back yard, I feel very small in the grand scheme of things, but yet I feel alive and full of hope. I am an idealist and look for nirvana in all that I do.
When I am in "The Now" I feel things are perfect and in the stillness I connect with everything around me. I feel the strenght of the trees that surround my yard and the power of the sun. Colors seem brighter, sounds are more clera and I am at peace. I try everyday to have at leats one in the "Now" moment, yet I wish for a continuous feeling of inner peace, yet life comes back and the internal dialogue starts again. I hope you can help me find the illusive continuous presence that I desire.
- Welcome to you :) ... I think you will meet plenty of people with similar interests here. The 'in the now' feeling you refer to is also called being 'in the zone'... Michael Jordan said that he played his best games when he felt 'in the zone'. :)
- I just joined the site too! Recently, I completed a book called "The Presence Process," by Michael Brown and I found it to be truly transformative! What's so wonderful, is after doing the experiential part of the book, you no longer have to "try" to get into the now, it just happens. Thoughts and beliefs that no longer support your continued evolution just drop away. It is primarly unconscious emotional discomfort, being masked by mental and physical "doings" that prevent us from embracing the moment and feeling at peace. When we get to the point where we can flow with the pace of life, rather than resist our current experience, it is much easier to just engage in it and know that there is a time and a place for everything in this ongoing journey of life!
