The Power Of Now, Forget "Then" Or "The Next Thing"

Everything in this world is a trance, and usually a foolishly accepted one. Some people, of course have desirable trances that include programs for wealth, power, happy living and the like. So many people have foolishly accepted "loser" trances that convince them that there is a ceiling to what can be achieved by their minds, thinking and actions.

Really, life is a program we do accept or do not accept and what we create for ourselves is genuinely what is. So, I can honestly say, do not accept the bad and really and not lazily work out the good for yourself however much suffering there seems to be in the world.

We can do better than we do if we are doing badly. With that sentence, I begin this section of the article. I can honestly say that the most genuine evil is a default to laziness, and to cultivate the genuine good takes a lot of work in every sense of the word "work". For example: The worst evil in life is decay through not caring for something deeply. What do you think really happened to the decaying roads, bridges and "infrastructure" in this country anyway, and what led us to this condition? I was watching United States Transportation and Infrastructure Secretary Peter Paul "Pete" Buddigeieg speak the other day, and I realized fully what was really going on in this country with that reality. Lazy action, and putting it off until it needs to be done is another evil I can address in this article, because if you want good it takes eternal and working vigilance that is alert, really. Even ancient Asian Philosopher Lao Tzu put it that way in the Tao Teh Ching in so many words, and the thing about things that genuinely work is that they "hum along" working without knowing they are genuinely working well. But, when they do not work, everyone and everything is genuinely aware that something is genuinely broken. Another example, the disrepair and stripping of the Queen Mary cruise ship/steam ship in Long Beach, California which used to be a viable tourist attraction, and is now a sitting, decaying hulk almost ready to be as a reporter put it "sent to a Turkish scrap yard". My point to this example is that all greatness needs constant care and understanding in the deepest ways historical, new or current.

So, back to everything in this world being a trance, we can either be alert and good or lazy, lax and bad. We can either get better or worse. That is the nature of reality however we do it, it either gets care, cultivation and work or it decays. That is it. It is all the nature of the trance or the choice we make to make things good or bad, loser or winner, successful or unsuccessful. To make and keep the good we must think, act and generate constantly. That is the big secret I have been saving until the end of this article. To win in reality, we must work, think, act and generate constantly and consistently in an alert way. That is it.

I am a philosophical writer and objective thinker and honest action taker. I also work at a senior center in Gardena, California as my day job, among other things, but primarily I am a writer.
