On Anxiety Once Again
As I mentioned in the past, anxiety is always about the past issues, projecting into the future. You are bounded by past experience and memory, therefore you will be also bounded by future experience.
Some people carry this burden till their death. I call these people true zombies, not living in the present moment but with grief and fear of the past and the future as if they are cursed.
How do you unbound from this kind of trauma? If you know that anxiety is about the past and the future, then you need to be in the present moment. How do you make yourself in the present moment? You must use the present tense in your mind and colloquially. Not “I was” or “I will”, but “I am” and “I do”. Do you wake up each morning saying “I was”? No, you look forward to “what-is” for the day.
Another thing is that, if you are bounded by the past time and the future time, then how do you unbound? You must search something that is not in the time domaine.
For example, thanks to Einstein, we know about the light. The light is a photon, and a photon does not experience “time”. At the speed of light, time does not exist.
When you “see”, say faces of loved ones, it is the brain interpreting as familiar faces. Excitation by photons hitting the retina coverts it as electric signal to the visual cortex of the brain, and the brain interpreting as, what we call, “seeing”.
But what are you “perceiving” really? The reality is that you are surrounded by and are in the timelessness of photons.
Yet, most of you are not aware of the experience. Shift your intention of “seeing” to “perceiving”, let your mind go, be calm, experience what is in front of your eyes, the timeless of all. Then, you are no longer in the time domaine, free from what the time binds such as death.
Infinity is still time bound, everlasting is also time bound? Can you find something that does not belong in the time domaine?
I’ll let you think about it rather than answering. Connect with your heart, you already know what it is.
Since you are not in the time domaine, you are no longer bounded by the past and future issues such as anxiety, sorrow, depression, etc.
What is the ultimate and the True Freedom? Personal freedom? Civil rights? Money and power? But you are still swayed by emotions. The true freedom is to be free from all emotions so that you do not “move” no matter what happens to you. You are always calm, not judging yourself and others, but accepting the As-Is-Ness of the Present Moment! You are the Unmovable, thus you are totally free.
Get rid of anxiety as soon as possible, for it is a total waste of time. Not knowing your true self is painful. Question is: “What are you really and truly”?
Find it out! That is your salvation.
Good luck.
