I don't really know how else to explain it. I am absolutley fixed in the here and now, and even when Im thinking about the future/past or any thought in general it doesn't completley "take over" if you know what I mean. Its very nice Anyway, does anyone else often feel this way? Im not sure I explained to well but It feels much differently than usual. Maybe centered is another word that works...:&
I think centered sounds better, when I read rooted for some reason I thought a bad thing. I know what you mean, Sometimes I get very distracted thinking of later and focusing on it too much, but I have rearranged my mind and Im slowly letting here and now take over again, is all there is, and to be somewhere else, well that's just foolish.
Nah, I feel like rooted actually describes it better. I feel very centered as well, but what Im talking about is different. Its like my mind is absolutley rooted Here, so when I think or postulate about something my thoughts are extensions of me. I can see what my thoughts are in front of me (I don't litterally see them with my eyes, but they are in front of or above me) and can sort of reorganize them and put in different thoughts as well instead of being stuck inside one thought.
It's just when I read rooted, I interpreted it as stuck, but now after reading that I see it more like a tree, that is rooted in one place (here), but it doesnt mean that is stuck, because it grows and branches out in new directions. I actually starting to like this a lot
i've never felt like that before but that sounds pretty interesting. More people should really post random stoned feelings like this more often haha.
hahaha, yea, Im sure Ill reach a point where I feel like this all the time. Its actually interesting to see how Ive progressed since Ive started smoking. Right now when Im sober I feel like I would when I was high when I first started smoking. Not in every way, but it more spiritual ways. Its like I now know and feel what I learned and felt when I was stoned and now when Im stoned im learning new things (like this) which leads me to belive at some point Ill be like this all the time, which would really be quite nice.
What is past and future other than mental image manifestations brought on typically by motivations 'rooted' in fear or anticipation? The only reality is what you experience in the present moment, and even that cant actually be defined as THE reality, because to each one of us, it is different. The 3 directions of time and the 10 quarters of the universe are all delusive in the big picture.
this has nothing to do with what we are talking about here... well maybe it does, but I read this today and it made me smile "there are no passengers in spaceship earth, we are all crew"
