LIVING IN THE PRESENT
FAQ - Living in the present
What does it concretely mean to be present?
Where is my Ego when I am present?
Being present implies I am part of what is happening to me in the moment, without projecting my own thoughts into it.
I am curious about the surroundings, and I am also aware how my body is and what emotions I have.
To make a parallel, I am like a UN observer: I observe, I report, I am aware of what is happening - but I am neither hurt nor here to judge what is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.
Being present is also to experience being safe.
While my Ego partners with me to be present and stops screening for danger; then I witness no threat (and also because it was in my head, and not in reality).
As I am no longer interested in finding risks or issues, I am able to focus on what is really happening
Last, when I stop being present, my Ego also goes back to its good-old protection role.
As my Ego never stops, I need to make it part of being present - else it won't work, as it will keep on wanting to protect me and can't take being ignored.
When I am present, my Ego is not to imagine what could happen next, or replay in my head what has already happened . Accordingly, the only option left is for my Ego and I to team up.
To be present, my Ego has to be in it with me!
That is feasible as I repurpose the bodyguard role of my Ego. All I need to do is ask my Ego to protect me from losing track of what is going on around me.
And as I do so, I can then leverage all its qualities to remain present: focus, resilience, courage (usually to face danger, or here to be present), etc.
And as my Ego helps, it feels valuable and valued - which is a great place to be in!
My Ego may not be perfect, but it is committed, tries really hard, never gives up, and is always here for me.
As we act as a team, it is an incredible asset I have, available to serve me at any time.
