Understand the Peace in the Now 22 November 2011

“For those of us who take life for granted, thinking all is there all the time and they need never worry about tomorrow, can be a courageous thing, but of course many of you are not like that and you tend always to worry about tomorrow instead of just realising you only need to live today and survive that.

“To be in the ‘Now’ is quite frankly enough.  Start to see all that can be in that given moment and relish in the certainty that you are always looked after.

“There is no need to make plans unnecessarily for your futures as when that time comes circumstances will have changed and it might not be relevant at that time.  By living purely in the ‘Now’, or today, brings to those who think like that a peace not found to others who cannot.

“The peace extends all around you and through you.  It is an integral part of you and sustains your living life.  Know that all your needs are duly met in that time frame.  All you require is afforded to you.  You don’t go without.

“By living in the ‘Now’ you can truly live and fear is removed.  Do precisely what is needed and no more and start to believe that tomorrow will also be taken care of equally as well.

“All of us go through life at such a pace these days, wishing always for better things to happen tomorrow, next week, next month etc.  We are all in fact wishing our lives away, almost shortening them.

“We fail to see what we already have around us and we should all be grateful.  For those who have food on the table, shelter and warmth are in fact truly blessed.  Many in this World do not, yet survive, because they are brought the necessary things that they do need to make survival possible.

“It is these people who are grateful for what life can give them and rejoice in the meagre, but positive things they have.

“Gratitude of what you possess, whether in health, shelter, work or food is only appreciated when you have it no more.  These things usually are taken for granted.  They are expected as our right.

“Know that your needs are always met and that you can survive once you realise that what you have around you is all that you need at that time and as life comes to pass and more is required and you have truly earned it, so more is granted.

“So by living in the ‘Now’ brings contentment and a realisation that Man can actually have enough to sustain him and more can become more of a hassle than you realise.

“Live and survive within those needs and know peace will always be with you.

“You are always looked after anyway.  This revelation comes to those who have virtually nothing, but in fact have everything they need.”
