How does Present Moment Awareness change the world we live in?

 

I want to talk about the unlikely connection between Present Moment Awareness and creating a loving and caring world.

 

• Despite all the reservations I have about the world we live in today and despite the widespread belief that it will never happen, I haven’t given up on the possibility that our children or grandchildren might still live in a world where human beings take care of each other, take care of the planet and take care of everything living in it.

 

• It’s obvious that a world full of loving and caring people could only ever come about if a billion or more, ordinary people like you and me were to change the way that we think and act and get back to a more loving and caring way of life and learn to love the whole of life and everything in it, not just their favourite things or people.

 

• Fortunately, I know from my own experience that Present Moment Awareness is the key to exactly that change.

 

• This is about how that unlikely connection between Present Moment Awareness and creating a loving and caring world works:

 

• The starting point is: You and me practice letting go into the present moment - and as our awareness of the nature of presence and what you might call our 'Ground of Being' deepens, everything else that needs to fall into place to create a loving and caring world: all those changes in the way that we all think and act, will be triggered and fall into place through a deepening awareness - not by you and me thinking!

 

Here’s how it works:
