67. "we're going back to the future"

As I was doing my rounds the other day at the antiques store where I work I came upon the idea of time travel.

Now this is not going to be some random collection of sci fi cool, nerdy, sonofasciencebitch conversation but more of our moving forward. This general concept is talked about by a Dr. Clark Moustakas. There is a concept of "body forth" meaning that although your body and energy are here. ya know...here. YOU! RIGHT NOW! you are reading this, you may be sitting down at a computer desk...you may be on your phone...in a coffee shop...you may be grabbing at your junk for all I know...what was my point...oh yes!!

So as you are sitting physicall anywhere in time you may find your mind moving forward towards the things you need to do or have to do...or whatever. Now planning is good...but more importantly when you move your mind forward you end up losing where you are now. For example, you study for a test...study, study, study for instance an anatomy test...as in the course of doing so you may project your mind to the future..."man when i'm done with this test i'm gonna get fucked up!"

we've all done it. all the while though you've been moving your mind out...you are out of the moment. YOu just missed that shirtless girl/guy walking by...you just missed your oppotunity pick up a dollar that was on the floor next to you...you totally just farted without thinking if anyone was around you.

PSYCH!SENSE....I don't know if I created this quote but here it is. Do everything right today and you don't have to worry about. THink about it...if you get a bill in the mail today...and you see the date as not being due for like...3 weeks...if you paid it today you wouldn't have to worry about it tomrrow...that's the beauty of present time and life. Lets say exercise...I know I have to run to stay healthy. Well if today I run...then do the same things...If i do what needs to be done in that day...I don't have to worry about my future. Take care of your business daily and tomorrow takes care of you.

The point? when you move forth in your mind....you lose the excitement that is around you and you lose the excitement of the moment you are done with the test. Because you have already lived and loved the moment in your head...it's not as good.

Ever have those moments when you are about to get into trouble and you make it sooooo horrible and bad in your mind that when you actually get into some trouble you think, "well damn...that was easy...I expected more." Just like when you go to a club...meet a hot, sexy little guy or gal...take them home...take them to bed and suddenly you say (see earlier quote). Sometimes the greatest thing about disneyland is the excitement right before....sit in the moment...experience life without moving forward...it just makes it that much more better.

this is why I never have sex...the mystery of it is way better than the actual act...
trust me...you're not missing much :)
