Presence is the primary goal
[[Reflection MOC]]
Presence is the primary goal¶
Your internal state¶
"WHAT" you are doing is significantly less important than "HOW" you are doing it. The "what" is just the content, the "how" is your internal state at the time of doing. And it is the "how" or your internal state that will always form the world around you more so than the "what" that you are doing.
Your relationship with presence¶
Your relationship with the present moment is your relationship with life/God/Christ. If you are grounded in awareness, there is a type of divine energy that flows through you into the world. This is the core concept that Eckhart Tolle speaks about in his book A New Earth --. And this is the PRIMARY goal. Nothing else matters more.
There is no "right" thing¶
I often worry if I have chosen the right book to read, if I have chosen the correct habits to work on or if I have chosen the correct skills to develop. Worrying about the choice can actually prevent me from making any choice at all. I don't read, or I bounce between books because I want to find the right book. I don't develop my coding because I also want to learn a new language or I want to work on a musical performance.
The choice doesn't actually matter. If you are living in presence, the thing that you are doing now is the right thing, because you are present. Don't spend time on the making the choice, spend time on the choice that you made. If you are present, you are bringing the light of God into the world. Everything else is just details.
