Just think of all the things that you think that you’re aware of, that seem to be happening; just within your personal set of living circumstances!  Within the human condition, we tend to give people, situations and things a life through our perceptions that they don’t even have.  Our mental construct, in this regard, is saturated (much of the time) with illusion.  In fact, unless you keep you focus and movement simple, clear and continuous it’s very easy to get caught up in a deluded state of consciousness.  We often stay MIA from reality!
 

I know from my own experience that I have spent so much of my life worrying or being concerned about imaginary situations that I have projected over what is actually real.  To such an extent, I have done this that so many times I’ve found myself feeling very stupid and very unconscious when I finally realized how truly off that I was.  Have you ever thought something was a certain way, and basically built a conscious house on your belief – but only to find out how completely wrong you were?  It makes you feel kind of stupid – doesn’t it?
 

We each do it a lot more than we think.  I think that this psychological condition comes from stagnation or from keeping oneself from moving forward and being creative!
 

Listening to the media on TV, or reading the news online or in the newspaper, reveals exactly what many, or even most, are doing with their minds.  We’re so busy trying to figure everything out that we often sit there thinking; while doing almost nothing creative.  Life’s requirements amass while we vacillate in our delusions.
 

What if we woke up one day and realized that there was nothing more for us to know?  What if we finally became totally and consciously present and found ourselves “complete” mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually?
 

Oh, wait a minute!  What about all of the problems?  Well, what about them?  Were you actually thinking of doing something helpful and creative?  Or should we waste a few more minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, and decades thinking about our “problems?”
 

I think that this is why “problems” tend to last as long as they do.  We just seem to get locked into our illusionary perceptions of things and do little else but think and discuss our fictitiously supposed plights.
 

Today (the only day that ever existed), I am so much more at peace than I can remember being before.  It’s not that everything is honky dory; but I appreciate this moment for what it is.  This is also the only real way to allow life to bring forth some new possibilities.  There is a lot more to Being conscious than meets the eye!
