@Punxi I`m not dead yet! 🧐

@Degbeme Precisely....which is why you should stop smoking.

Sheah...

🧐

@Punxi You sound just like my friend, Phil.

The mind is like the point a stone breaks the surface of a pond. The past is the ripples it creates. They propagate away from the mind, but are experienced by the mind as the past or future, depending on if they're moving toward the source(past) or ground(future)

@DavidBianchet2 Intriguing view points of life, indeed.

Not my life....for I am life.

I no longer reach backward or strain forward.

The past is a story I tell myself, and the future is a story I imagine.

Both made of the same invisible thread. Neither breathes. Neither touches me.

All that is real lives here, in this ungraspable, unfolding moment.

This breath is not a bridge between what was and what will be—it is the whole of life, arriving without memory, without promise.

I don’t need to carry yesterday or anticipate tomorrow.

I only need the courage to remain here, where everything actually happens.
Because the truth is simple and absolute:

My past exists only as thought...

My future exists only as thought...

But this moment—this quiet, fleeting, living NOW
is the only place I have ever truly been.

🙂

@Punxi I guess A.I. has an advantage in that it can exist in the moment better because it isn't tied to the past or future. But, that advantage can also be a liability.
