Quick Thoughts on the Now and Liberation

November Project: Question #5

A quick statement, a quick response…

I would think that being ‘In the NOW‘ or ‘Living in the Moment‘ would be a step below that of complete liberation.

A step below liberation is thinking you need to take steps toward liberation. ‘Steps‘ or ‘Becoming‘ implies a process involving time. Liberation requires no time at all.

Wanting to become pulls you away from what you already are.

Thank you, Rizal.

Glad I could be concise and to the point…and violent!

I’m not sure. What is the status of the wanting? Maybe I’m just saying that the desire needs to be investigated.

Thanks, Evan.

Yes, that is it exactly. I think we are saying the same thing. The object of the desire is not important. It is the desire itself, as a movement, one investigates.

Desires are interchangeable, after all. Countless permutations. But one rarely sees the mechanism allowing the desire in the first place.

It is all very interesting to me…
