Alan Watts - Living in the present (boat analogy)

[johnyboy6405]

Why do we do it now, it has to do with past.

[johnyboy6405]

@johnyboy6405 I mean: What we do, it has to do with the past

[2Crystalight]

@johnyboy6405 I figure he is saying that we are copy cats and we go the past to find from where we came and why but we wont find it there for we can only find that out from deep withing ourselves. We know the answers to all but we don't trust ourselves to apply that because we are conditioned the old or the pasts way from birth.

IT ALL STARTS RIGHT NOW

Birds sing, Alan talks and the sun revolves because of natural laws, right? Because of quantum uncertainty the cosmos may not be determined, but instead random. Either way there is no free will. I like what he is saying about living in the present, It is too vague for me though. I try to experience the present as best I can, through meditation and lucid dreaming, I think I'm close to being aware all the time. I can tell when I'm not fully focused and every time it feels like I'm waking up again.
