Re: Time

["emcshadow" <emcshadow@...>]

Martin,

I had this quandary once... the path of action and non-action. What I 
came to realize was that type of awareness in the now is not the type 
of presence that would *change* anything about what you are currently 
doing or pursuing in the temporal; it simply doesn't engage on that 
level of the personality nor does it offer an "out". To bring that 
awareness, which can't be captured in words and constructs of time or 
personality, into any sort of opposition with whether you should do 
something one way or another is wrestling with the "philosophy" of 
presence, which is just another philosophy, and has more to do with 
the temporal mind than presence itself.

If that makes any kind of sense at all.
