Buddha, Watts, Tolle, and The Here and Now
Three Point Thursday | 3 Timeless Maxims
To curious minds,
Happy Three Point Thursday.
Here’s 3 quotes I’m thinking about:
“Concentrate the mind on the present moment.”
—Buddha
“I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.”
—Alan Watts
“It is through gratitude for the present moment that the spiritual dimension of life opens up.”
—Eckhart Tolle
We spend a scary amount of time lost in our memory and imagination. We ruminate and fantasize our way out of reality.
The past and the future exist only in your mind. It is time for you to stop being tortured by ghosts. It is time for you to stop being tyrannized by a dream.
It is time for you to exist in the real world. Here. Now.
There is only this moment.
