Playing With Consciousness

Its easy to get caught up the daily BS of life and forget the role we are supposed to play, THE OBSERVER!  I t is my job to observe the life, things and experiences around me and adjust my thinking based on what I think about it all.

The tricky part, or shall I say the part that’s easy to screw up is the “I’m not present” part.  Meaning, when you get caught up in the “moment” and forget to be consciously directing your own course.  The moment to moment shit that happens can become an almost constant distraction that can keep you walking around “unconscious” and keep you from creating what you actually want in life.

Think about the people who have goals that they tend to all the time… what happens with most of them?  Yep, they achieve their goals.  Now think about people who are constantly bitching, moaning and complaining… they get more shit to bitch about.

So, if you are always trying to remain present and OBSERVE whats going on around you and contrasting that to whats going on inside of you (emotionally) you are now in a position to create or alter the experiences you have.

I know, easier said than done… but it can be done.  It comes down to “What do you really want and when do you want it?”.

I have found a little saying that works particularly well for myself.  “I am not present”  I forgot where I read that but it works and it works because of this, if I try to be “present” as much as possible the first thing I realize is that I’m not really present very much of the time.  And like everything in life it takes some practice.  And it just so happens that if I catch myself getting irritated or heated or upset or bitchy or whatever, as soon as I tell myself ” I’m not present” it brings me back to, you guessed it, present.

The whole point is to shift my awareness and thought process to being here right now in the moment as an observer, not a participant.  If I am “the observer” I am in a better position to change whats going on.  As within so without.  If I am in a good place to change things as they come up then I can quickly and easily change whatever I want and that’s the point.  I don’t want to sleep walk through this life, I want to be a co-creator and the fastest way I can do that is to become the observer and stop being a participant.
