I know what the secret of life is!

Easier said than done though.

I’m sure you’ve heard it before: Live in the NOW. That is it. We have learned that things that get more attention, like cars, furniture, flowers, seem to last longer. Our friends Mike & Susan have conducted tests, where they took leaves, put one away somewhere, and had one under their constant attention (not physical care, but prayer and focus) and that one lasted longer. I think they said it was still alive. I have noticed this phenomenon myself. Anyway when that was confirmed with me, I was curious, I wondered how that would apply to everything else we’ve learned about attention and time.

I’ve been reading this awesome book, “The Tao of Now” by Josh Baran. You should definitely check this book out. It is helping me to learn how to live in the Now. It’s not that easy, but when it can be achieved, it is joyful. You can always tell you are not in the now if you’re overwhelmed. People who have grudges (even riteous ones) have terrible health problems. That’s because they dwell in the past. A place that doesn’t exist. That’s right it doesn’t. The future doesn’t either. It’s your imagination of what you think the next now will be.

So anyway I think that the reason people age is because it’s nearly impossible to spend 100% of the time in the now, but if you practice, you would live a lot longer. You know why we can never be exactly in the now? Our minds are only remembering what now is. What I mean is (something we’ve learned through remote viewing) reality is just lots and lots of sensory input. Our mind puts it all together and makes an image that we can understand. It also discards a large percentage of the reality around us.

This whole metaphysics thing has bothered us, because it means it’s a reality “separate” from us. What is really happening, is that WE are separate from reality. Everything is just one whole universe, and we take in what we can of it with our human brain and make up something we can all agree on. So, God and everything is all right around us, most of us are just not tuned in. It’s in the Bible, Jesus said “You search for God through heaven and earth, but you don’t know the one who is right before your eyes, because you don’t know to search into this very moment.”

Well that’s all I can say for now, thanks for listening! Please leave a comment or two!

  1. Pauline,

    The Doctor who did was involved with the research before and after my mother-in-law had the brain surgery where they separated her left and right hemispheres for seizure control back in 1963 has written the following. My mother-in-law after this surgery definitely lives in the now. SCIENTIST AT WORK: MICHAEL GAZZANIGA; A Career Spent Learning How the Mind Emerges From the

    Their first clue came from an experiment Dr. Gazzaniga carried out with Dr. Joseph LeDoux, now at New York University. A patient called P.S. was shown a picture, and was then asked to choose a related image from a set of other pictures. What P.S. didn’t know was that he was being shown a different image in each eye.

    Dr. Gazzaniga and Dr. LeDoux showed P.S. a picture of a chicken claw in his right eye and a snow-covered house in the left eye. P.S. pointed to a chicken with his right hand and a snow shovel with his left.

    ”I’ll never forget the day we got around to asking P.S., ‘Why did you do that?”’ said Dr. Gazzaniga. ”He said, ‘The chicken claw goes with the chicken.’ That’s all the left hemisphere saw. And then he looks at the shovel and said, ‘The reason you need a shovel is to clean out the chicken shed.”’

    Dr. Gazzaniga hypothesized that P.S.’s left hemisphere made up a story to explain his actions, based on the limited information it received. Dr. Gazzaniga and his colleagues have carried out the same experiment hundreds of times since, and the left hemisphere has consistently acted this way.

    ”The interpreter tells the story line of a person,” Dr. Gazzaniga said. ”It’s collecting all the information that is in all these separate systems that are distributed through the brain.” While the story feels like an unfiltered picture of reality, it’s just a quickly-thrown-together narrative.

    In the late 1970’s, Dr. Gazzaniga rallied his colleagues to turn this sort of research into a full-fledged field, which they called cognitive neuroscience. He helped organize a scientific society and started a journal, and every five years he edits a gigantic tome summarizing what scientists know about how the mind emerges from the brain.

    ”More than anyone else, Mike Gazzaniga created the field of cognitive neuroscience,” said Dr. George Miller, a cognitive psychologist at Princeton.

  2. Pauline,

    I admit, this excerpt, was a bit out of context. But its an example of how a separated brain lives in the now. That is how my mother=in=law has lived after the surgery to this day. I spoke with the Doctor after over 40 years of research he said we just don’t know where or what it is we actually are able to determine about our memory. This is both reassuring we are not all so far out there and also concerning so many people think we are closer to connecting the dots in this mystery of the brain than we are, today. That’s why I believe in the work you all are doing.

  4. I’m not sure exactly where in the Bible that was. (Jesus said “You search for God through heaven and earth, but you don’t know the one who is right before your eyes, because you don’t know to search into this very moment.”) It was quoted in this book “The Tao of Now” but I think it came from the gospel of Thomas. I will keep searching. At any rate, I know it is true. Soon I’ll write another Blog, I know I’m overdue!

  5. Hi, I just wanted to say that I’ve been checking in and looking at Melvin’s website for years and I’m glad there is still so much information available here. I’ve always hoped that I’d find something that is genuine and worth believing in that would offer some support when you’re faced with terrible things happening. It appears to me that you are both also interested in finding answers and I just wanted to say thanks for working so hard on all of these issues. All the best.
