Remember, An Eternal Now. the account you created
Anyway only the Now Moment is real, so don't think in terms of gradualness and 'future' -
Didn't I say that there is change? What "fixed entity" are you talking about here?Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Is there a fixed entity called "my life" that is truly changing?

There's really no such thing as time. There is really only Now--an eternally present Present with no beginning and no ending. Everything is completely new, distinct, and original every instant, with no real "change" or "motion" at all.
There is only Change, not a Changing thing. -

Same, what I meant by thing is 'entity'.Originally posted by Suicine:You mentioned "life" first.
'My life' is an entity, and you say that My life is changing means there is a real entity that is undergoing gradual change. -
So what is the nature of this "life" that you are telling me to get?
-
You can get it NOW.
-
I told you. My life right now is the Internet. You were the one who went on to talk about NS, which is a few years away.
-
Or do you mean I should go to NS right now?

Aiya nvm la. let u be. but dun con little girls on IRC

One hand clapping, is just the same as one ring from the bell during chanting.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Is there sound, pain, and emotion in one hand clapping?
"Feel" the sound instantly by your ears and into the heart and mind.
"Feel" the sudden vibration/pain that last about 1 to 2 seconds.
"Feel" of the emotion at that moment.
For some of us, especially without sublime state or a clear and clean may not be able to "feel" it. Or at times, your surrounding environment might not be of the right to do it. Go to a quiet place, Take a deep breath and let it go. Now with a more aware mindset, clap your hand once.
Metta.
