The past is in your mind, and so is the future. The only reality is the present, and that’s where your power is. This week, Patch and Sara tell you how to tap into that power, by living in the moment.
Patch on the Concept of Time and Living in the Moment
First, Patch brings up a book he’s been reading, Bernardo Kastrup’s More Than An Allegory. The book presented concepts of looking at reality that caused Patch, in his own words, to have an existential crisis.
Kastrup brought up the idea that the past is literally non-existent. We can’t physically go there, since it is just a concept in our minds. We may be able to provide photographic evidence of a past event, but we can’t physically go back to the actual moment.
The same goes for the future. We can’t prove what will happen in the future, and we certainly can’t travel there. It exists solely as a mental construct. The past and future only exist in our imagination! Now is the only time that literally exists.
Sara’s Perspective on Living in the Moment
Despite Patch’s panic attack response to the book (“is anything really real??”), Sara took a different view. From her perspective, this concept of time is empowering. You can’t affect all of the things that will happen in the future, and you definitely can’t change the past. You can however take action right now by living in the moment to affect the existing world around you.
How does this relate what we do here at Dream Lovers then? We exist in order to help you realize the power you truly possess. All of us spend our formative years establishing our identities, our realities. When you’re living in the moment, you see your life from a different perspective. Your past losses do not matter. How you feel about yourself now is all that matters. What do you want your life to look like right now?
Patch encouraged us to imagine some of those failures from the past, in order to gain new perspective. Sara teaches her BMA students, while under hypnosis, to revisit past traumas by imagining themselves in the room as their present adult selves. Your imagination is a powerful tool to free you from the chains of past failures, and the decisions we make now shape what our future will be.
