The past is a distorted memory, the future is a concept. This moment is all there is, ever has been, ever will be. I wear a watch, it broke years ago, but I still wear it because it reminds me that it is always now 🙏
That is easy to say, much more difficult to apply without any background knowledge and experience. I slightly disagree with his saying "don't hold to memory". You have to. Because... it is also how you grow. How you look back at old memories, somethimes with a slight nostalgia, sometimes with a deep anger, sometimes with love - and then something inside you is slowly changing too. You slowly grow internaly too at all those points, simply by going back to your older memories. At the end, sure - you may let it all go, at some point of your internal development, abd then you may concentrate on "now", the "present", living the moment so to speak. But at some point: DO hold on to memories, because it is part of a growing process too, and at some point you may discover that is is also a road that actually helps you to understand that it is all about living "now".
The irony is his teachings is recorded. Part of capturing memories is not just for yourself but posterity. Keep taking photos and holding onto memories, the key is to find BALANCE.
@@tyty0071 This world is made of lies, this is not the world of God, but the world of evil. You are born knowing nothing. The evil keeps us here with lies, divide an conquer. The goal might not be to populate the earth, but another...
@@tyty0071 exactly. There are so many paradoxes in his teachings. Its such an intellectual way of dealing with reality and existance, completely devoid of feelings and emotions. Even if a memory is an illusion, the emotions it evokes are real. It really doesnt surprise me he drank himself to death.

@DementiaDon That's what millions of elderly think while they are staring out the window, waiting for an orderly to come and change their diaper. We were born in Heaven and this planet is a sewer compared to Heaven's wonders, good luck.
You can really do both, enjoy the moment and also take a few pictures. 20, 30 years down the road, the feeling, the memory will be diminished but digging up the old photos and looking at the people with you, that may be gone now, at the place you once enjoyed will bring a jolt to the good memories you had before, priceless.
I get that, and doing it here and there is lovely. Many get so focused on capturing moments they miss them as they happen. Just requires a little balance.
@@TheGuidermichael You think that it is easy to let go? Masturbation is next to impossible to transcend, so is one's temper, that is what Christ meant when He said to turn the other cheek, very difficult and to achieve any of this letting go, a powerful Master can help and Falun Gong has that, no other practice does. Once all attachment is over, we will return home to Heaven and then will realize that here is a sewer by comparison.
i remember after my daughter died, (when i was in process of getting a degree in digital media arts) i took my camera equipment to hawaii for an education break, and was sitting on this beach and saw this TRIPLE YES TRIPLE rainbow coming my way across the ocean, i felt i couldnt experience the beauty and joy of the moment just taking pictures, so i took 1 snapshot if this incoming rainbow phenomenon and laid my camera down on the sand, i stood up and walked towards the incoming rainbow and suddenly a tall blond man on my left and a tall blonde man on my right grasped my hands and lifted me up in the rainbow as it misted upon us all, right after that i quit my education real eyesing that i just wanted to experience life within the magical moments instead of trying to document the moments from outside of the actual moments experience, later as i looked at the images i had been taking, i saw my daughters face in the clouds of this magical rainbow, i proceeded to paint that image on a canvas knowing i got to EXPERIENCE the beauty of her essence within the moment itself, i will never forget that

Photography has been something that has brought me more into the present. Macro photography showed me a world that I didn't know about. You can suddenly zoom in to the eyes of insects, the fuzzy bodies of bees, the mouthparts of butterflies. Marvelous thing that you would never have any way of knowing about without the lens. But I used to dislike bugs. Now, I love being around (most of) them, because I met them with this tool of attachment. I can now enjoy nature more in every moment.

I find that my home office is now filled with memories that provide me with pleasant echos from the past. My walls have my degrees, accomplishments, and artwork from my daughter from a time she cares about art. My corner tables have my chess set from afghanistan, concrete from the Berlin Wall, a small metal statue of the Empire State Building, a glass hologram from the mosque in Istanbul, my dad’s 45 years of work paper weight. My shelves have my Army medals, jade monkeys from my parents, a family lineage book, a silver dollar from 1885 that I bought with the last of my Army money from my second deployment to war. They’re just “stuff,” but when I’m bored or stressed I look over and realize… Life’s pretty cool.
The way you find yourself FEELING about the world is your past. You can’t use any envisage future possibilities of yourself to try and get before how you find the world mattering to you at any moment. You are thrown in to your present from a past you can not will to change. Be authentic before it is too late.
@@Mtmonaghan You imply by saying "be authentic" that you know who is and is not "authentic" if there is any such thing as "authenticity." That's just your ego trying to remain in control. Had you understood what I wrote - You'd have gotten to the point where I stated, "They're all just "stuff."" I do appreciate your game though - You rascal.
I like to use the past as a tool to learn from. In order to live correctly and free in the moment. Also, it gives an assurance and safety that the same past mistakes will be learned from and not repeated. That brings me closer to the moment. It also prevents worrying about the fear of failure in the future. Subjectively speaking.

Nothing wrong with taking a few photos. You are not missing out on anything. Great to have those memories. Live your life and do what makes you happy, not what others believe what will make you happy. Tomorrow is not promise. Tomorrow does not exist. Now is all we have. In the end nothing matters. We are all winging it and we are all on the same sinking boat that inevitably ends in tragedy. When the brain dies consciousness dies and we will cease to exist and eventually be forgotten. Drop the ego and character that you are playing and live. You only got one shot at. Don’t waste it. Smile, your alive
I find myself taking photos less and less. "Memories" are overrated. Better to focus on the here and now and enjoy the present moments. Looking back at "memories" is living in the past.

They're not really gone if you remember them. Remember to keep them alive. Every memory is a pocket universe. As long as I remember they keep existing somewhere out there.
I haven't taken a picture since my wife died. I have thousands of pictures of her in all the good places we went together. None of those pictures can bring her back But I have the memories in my head, which I will take with me when I join her.
Pain and suffering in this world outweighs peace and feeling good, in my experience. Is this really a beautiful arrangement, especially with the memory wipe in between lives? To do this over and over again, pain and suffering with tiny specks of joy here or there, no thanks, I'll pass.
@@jennifervaughn2466 you can have all the hope you want. I'm not asking anything of anyone, I am simply expressing my thoughts on Mr. Watts's opinion that what we are all experiencing here is, in his words "a beautiful arrangement."
Hope is limited and conceptual and so is the fundamental belief that the body is seperate to its environment. Nobody choosing this. Why not meditate on this beautiful arrangement and see that 'you' have never suffered, because - how can there be a you? Never then, always now.
@@HergreenmanThat might work for you, but try and tell people who suffer from chronic physical pain on the daily that they don't actually suffer. Maybe on some higher level of consciousness this could be the case, but i dont know because i have never experienced that, and i do not have beliefs. Belief is a waste of time and energy, either I know or I don't know.
@@dronesandothertones8902You make a good point. I would be less inclined to talk about no self to a person that is suffering physically, but as far as hope and beliefs go, they are just thoughts. This life can been seen as beautiful because its the base reality that this life belongs to no individual being. It's obviously co-existing with the cosmos.
I am constantly torn between the two schools of thought he describes, the answer must lay somewhere in between. Remember your life, but don't let past experiences limit those yet to come. Remember you're alive, take with it the good and bad, it's through polarity that we can truly understand and appreciate the most beautiful experiences life has to offer.

When Alan said this photography meant you had a limited amount of film, a cartridge of about 24 shots. You had to leave it to a chemist to be developed which took about a week. Now just about everyone has a high-resolution digital camera of virtually limitless capacity and the output can be shared instantly with the entire world. Another comment refers to how many people don’t watch performers at rock concerts but instead look at them on the screens of their smartphones, divorcing themselves from the actual experience. Had he lived long enough to experience social media I don’t think he would have been in favour.

Life is like a movie-an illusion where consciousness manifests into 8 billion forms (bodies) to experience the drama of existence. Each of us (individualised consciousness) plays roles as heroes, villains, and everything in between. When the story ends, we die, forget, and return in a new role, beginning the cycle anew in this never-ending film. At its core, life is a profound game of attachment and detachment, teaching us to master the delicate balance between the two.
The pictures do help people especially those with dementia and Alzheimer’s. It helps them to remember events in their lives they may have forgotten that would bring them joy in the present moment.
My parents were picture people. Everywhere we went they wanted to bring a camera for photo or video. I never liked being put in front of a lens and posed for a snapshot. We have very few photos of me past age 10 and my mom once in a while will mention this with a somber tone. When I was a teenager I finally figured out how to articulate my displeasure for being photographed to my parents. I said, "Just remember it. If a place or a piece of life is so wonderful you should be able to remember it always. I don't need a cheap photo of myself to trigger a memory. If I forgot it then it must not have been that special." Now this may be horrifically flawed thinking to some but, it's been great for my memory bank. For some reason the recounting of a memorable experience between my parents and I feels special as well because we both have to use our visualization in our own minds to see it as we remember it. How many scrap books are buried in the drawer that get flipped through in minutes and put back for another decade? If there were some fire or catastrophe to destroy those physical volumes of memories they'd probably be lost forever because you didn't imprint the memory deep enough in your mind. You may grow old and diseased in the brain and forget the simplest things but, those truly special memories will always be there as flashes of light in the darkness.

When people say stuff like this, it doesn't feel right, it's... he talks about it not being boring. I personally would prefer boredom to (gestures around) this. Idk, each time I hear this or similar ideas it just makes me think the person didn't have some experiences in life and it painted an incomplete picture in their understanding. Kinda like someone in Europe saying "we have it all and too much of this would become boring" while people in other parts of the world struggle with staying alive. Not that what they say is fully wrong, just incomplete and disrupted.
Boredom comes from boring, which means drilling into one's mind and when this happens usually people look for some way to escape, tv, music, booze, shopping, gossiping, and especially eating, the American Weigh.

I listen to a lot of stuff and people like this … including Alen Whatts here and there ❤❤… but I will and can say, this is the most miraculous words to date from Alen Whatts that I’ve heard 😮! And that’s saying a lot!!!!!! Listen people. And take notes!! What a keen, adept, and perfectly understanding/able soul this guy carried, and ways to live, that this man/person exposes and shares! And this , this right here, this shitc right here n***** ! 😂, 😏this is one key key 🔑 lol. Live like this, and you’re solved; you’re free of debate, delusion, and illusions, and false hope from false ideas. I commend highly this video/words in this one. He’s not “onto something” , this “is it”. This is a key component! I’ve been string this since a child ☁️ 🌞, and it all adds up, and this is the/a trick, and a giant component! Try everyone(take yourself out of bad thoughts, forward or backwards, live now, feel happy , and this one component (between them all) is crucial! 😁😋😊😏👍🏽. So go with it , and let this, in a way, be a mantra! If you do so (I’ve watched carefully to energy, and life, and personally beliefs, since I was 5(I’m now 35) so for 30 years , And watch the magic happen right in front of your eyes and physical self. It’s no lie, OR joke. Just try it for 3months… and watch what you can manifest and make reality. By just staying happy, never thinking bad thoughts(block them out with good thoughts and motives) and see what happens 😏😁😊👍🏽. At least try. Even if it sounds odd, and outa all sorts , try, I can promise you’ll see change. Don’t give up, trust and try. It’ll eventually happen and become faster and faster(momentum;) Take my word. You don’t give up on a video game if you die first level! You know the game’s possible to win….. so in the same, keep doing it, and you’ll soon enough see your uplift of levels, and it’ll start to happen 😏😌😉! Love you all!!❤. Stay happy mfs 😜. It works .. don’t take my word for it, butttt don’t give up first try(like a game). ..and you’ll eventually see the turn around + 😮😂😊. I promise that at least .. because I know.., constants and controls(science). And you’ll see it for yourself. ! 😘😇. Play cool and loving everyone 💯🤙🏽
I don't usually take any pictures when on vacation, or at events. I prefer to be fully present. I've got my memories. Odd that I married a photographer, lol.
About the Camera Analogy: I've noticed from personal experience that the lower (Poor's or so) use the Camera because the Top always wants a piece of everyone on the Lower's Actions and Experiences. The Higher (Wealthy or so) don't need a Camera as they have lots of money to have their own Actions and Experiences. Just something I've noticed. Just wanted this entered as so for Future Reference(s).
As a whole I would say that the lower classes enjoy life a lot more than the rich, man is not supposed to be rich, the more money that one has, the more zeros . Falun Dafa is a practice based on Buddhist tradition which will answer most of your questions concerning the mysteries of creation.
I deal with anxiety which manifests in the past(past experiences) and the future(fear of unknown). The moment is ever presence which provides such a relaxed calm, even within moments that others judge as stressful and fearful. I believe that’s why Jesus Christ said “I am with you always…”(not exact) HE cleanses us through His death, which we find Life.
Nothing wrong with keeping memories .just don't dwell in past . But always remember loved ones you have no choice. It sounds good to say love in moment but are memories are part of us

You slowly grow internaly too at all those points, simply by going back to your older memories.

Isn’t it wonderful to look at old photos and feel the moment again and so many others as well… “And”. Live in the moment “and” enjoy the memories.
You can really do both, enjoy the moment and also
take a few pictures. 20, 30 years down the road, the feeling, the memory will be diminished but digging up the old photos and looking at the people with you, that may be gone now, at the place you once enjoyed will bring a jolt to the good memories you had before, priceless.
That is not a good thing, you want to prevent emotional attachment of any sort, Falun Dafa explains all of this.
I get that, and doing it here and there is lovely. Many get so focused on capturing moments they miss them as they happen. Just requires a little balance.
I think the point is to have the attachment and learn to let go otherwise why are we even here doing this in the first place?
@@TheGuidermichael You think that it is easy to let go? Masturbation is next to impossible to transcend, so is one's temper, that is what Christ meant when He said to turn the other cheek, very difficult and to achieve any of this letting go, a powerful Master can help and Falun Gong has that, no other practice does. Once all attachment is over, we will return home to Heaven and then will realize that here is a sewer by comparison.

i remember after my daughter died, (when i was in process of getting a degree in digital media arts)
i took my camera equipment to hawaii for an education break, and was sitting on this beach and saw this TRIPLE YES TRIPLE rainbow coming my way across the ocean, i felt i couldnt experience the beauty and joy of the moment just taking pictures, so i took 1 snapshot if this incoming rainbow phenomenon and laid my camera down on the sand, i stood up and walked towards the incoming rainbow and suddenly a tall blond man on my left and a tall blonde man on my right grasped my hands and lifted me up in the rainbow as it misted upon us all,
right after that i quit my education real eyesing that i just wanted to experience life within the magical moments instead of trying to document the moments from outside of the actual moments experience,
later as i looked at the images i had been taking, i saw my daughters face in the clouds of this magical rainbow, i proceeded to paint that image on a canvas knowing i got to EXPERIENCE the beauty of her essence within the moment itself,
i will never forget that
Thankyou for sharing this ❤🎉
Thank you so much - beautiful
I’m sorry about your daughter
Thanks for sharing. Profound

I am afraid of flying and when I do it, I listen to Alan Watts videos. It helps me so much to calm down during the flight… his voice has this calmness….
Who do you listen to when you are sailing, Muddy Waters? Falun Dafa is a practice based on Buddhist tradition which will answer most of your questions concerning the mysteries of creation.
I am amazed at how true and existential are Alan’s insights are. You go ”aha” time after time as you listen to him.
Zen Buddhism is very limited but Falun Gong, a Buddhist school, explains all of life's mysteries.

Beautiful, as always
Alan Watts is the only guide I've ever needed and the only guide I'll ever need. No heaven. No pie in the sky. Just clear common sense. The outcome is up to me. I'm more than satisfied with that.
Your destiny was already written before your birth. Falun Dafa is a practice based on Buddhist tradition which will answer most of your questions concerning the mysteries of creation.
Photography has been something that has brought me more into the present.
Macro photography showed me a world that I didn't know about. You can suddenly zoom in to the eyes of insects, the fuzzy bodies of bees, the mouthparts of butterflies. Marvelous thing that you would never have any way of knowing about without the lens.
But I used to dislike bugs. Now, I love being around (most of) them, because I met them with this tool of attachment. I can now enjoy nature more in every moment.
I've been into macro photography ever since my first microscope... it's a beautiful world within a world..
there's a book called whispers of manifestation on borlest , and it talks about how using some secret tehniques you can attract almost everything in life it's not some bullshit law of attraction, it's the real deal

Thank you T&H for adding your genius to the timeless wisdom of Alan Watts. And while I often have my eyes closed in meditation, the images I see routinely match the words. And the green plant at the end of the video couldn't have been a more beautifully impactful sequence. Namaste.
The music was perfect this time. Wherever Alan Watts is, God bless him for solving one of my life's biggest sorrows, holding on to losing my mom and every pain that came with it I have carried it with me 15years now. Let it all go, you can do it I promise. Thank you T & H❤

I love Alan and what he shared with us. I didn't have the patients to watch and listen to him until my life became so chaotic that I was driven to hear him out of necessity, and I am grateful, even if it hurt. It is like we have to be whipped into submission by our own desire to find out that we are really creating every single situation that comes to us. here now is my point of really living.

What a man he was special
One of those rare occasions where the music and video worked very well with Alan Watts.
A photo can often water down a memory, especially these days with the access. We often look at the memories so much the nostalgia is removed.

I find that my home office is now filled with memories that provide me with pleasant echos from the past.
My walls have my degrees, accomplishments, and artwork from my daughter from a time she cares about art.
My corner tables have my chess set from afghanistan, concrete from the Berlin Wall, a small metal statue of the Empire State Building, a glass hologram from the mosque in Istanbul, my dad’s 45 years of work paper weight.
My shelves have my Army medals, jade monkeys from my parents, a family lineage book, a silver dollar from 1885 that I bought with the last of my Army money from my second deployment to war.
They’re just “stuff,” but when I’m bored or stressed I look over and realize… Life’s pretty cool.
The way you find yourself FEELING about the world is your past. You can’t use any envisage future possibilities of yourself to try and get before how you find the world mattering to you at any moment. You are thrown in to your present from a past you can not will to change. Be authentic before it is too late.
@@Mtmonaghan You imply by saying "be authentic" that you know who is and is not "authentic" if there is any such thing as "authenticity." That's just your ego trying to remain in control. Had you understood what I wrote - You'd have gotten to the point where I stated, "They're all just "stuff."" I do appreciate your game though - You rascal.
A present is also a gift. Get a life, sorry. Vey sad, clutching to the past, what could make you that way, wow.
I like to use the past as a tool to learn from. In order to live correctly and free in the moment. Also, it gives an assurance and safety that the same past mistakes will be learned from and not repeated. That brings me closer to the moment. It also prevents worrying about the fear of failure in the future. Subjectively speaking.

"Memory is an illusion; it's all gone, so everything you know about that makes an impression on you is no longer there."
Hello Joanne
No truer words were spoken. Memory IS an illusion. And sometimes when we look back at our "memories", we remember events a little differently than they really were when they originally happened. Nothing exists but the present moment.
Memory is not an illusion and exists in another dimension for all time. Falun Dafa is a practice based on Buddhist tradition which will answer most of your questions concerning the mysteries of creation.
Nothing wrong with taking a few photos. You are not missing out on anything. Great to have those memories. Live your life and do what makes you happy, not what others believe what will make you happy. Tomorrow is not promise. Tomorrow does not exist. Now is all we have. In the end nothing matters. We are all winging it and we are all on the same sinking boat that inevitably ends in tragedy. When the brain dies consciousness dies and we will cease to exist and eventually be forgotten. Drop the ego and character that you are playing and live. You only got one shot at. Don’t waste it. Smile, your alive
I find myself taking photos less and less. "Memories" are overrated. Better to focus on the here and now and enjoy the present moments. Looking back at "memories" is living in the past.
Everything matters. Any blessings that you have this lifetime are deserved because of your actions in your previous lifetime. That is why some are born ill and poor and others healthy and wealthy. As ye sow..............Falun Dafa is a practice based on Buddhist tradition which will answer most of your questions concerning the mysteries of creation.
I have aphantasia. I take photos so I can remember the moment as a visual which triggers a whole bunch of other types 💕 I love this particular video of Alan’s telling of this
Memory creates the future as well as the past!
It does not, sorry. Most of our destiny is written by Heaven before our birth, heavy but true. Falun Dafa is a practice based on Buddhist tradition which will answer most of your questions concerning the mysteries of creation.
I think warm positive memories are a positive thing & encourages gratitude, which brings peace in the now. The future then is a positive anticipation

I haven't taken a picture since my wife died. I have thousands of pictures of her in all the good places we went together. None of those pictures can bring her back But I have the memories in my head, which I will take with me when I join her.
Pain and suffering in this world outweighs peace and feeling good, in my experience. Is this really a beautiful arrangement, especially with the memory wipe in between lives? To do this over and over again, pain and suffering with tiny specks of joy here or there, no thanks, I'll pass.
I get it, but if this is what we decide to give in to, we will lose all hope.
@@jennifervaughn2466 you can have all the hope you want. I'm not asking anything of anyone, I am simply expressing my thoughts on Mr. Watts's opinion that what we are all experiencing here is, in his words "a beautiful arrangement."
Hope is limited and conceptual and so is the fundamental belief that the body is seperate to its environment.
Nobody choosing this.
Why not meditate on this beautiful arrangement and see that 'you' have never suffered, because - how can there be a you?
Never then, always now.
@@HergreenmanThat might work for you, but try and tell people who suffer from chronic physical pain on the daily that they don't actually suffer. Maybe on some higher level of consciousness this could be the case, but i dont know because i have never experienced that, and i do not have beliefs. Belief is a waste of time and energy, either I know or I don't know.
@@dronesandothertones8902You make a good point. I would be less inclined to talk about no self to a person that is suffering physically, but as far as hope and beliefs go, they are just thoughts.
This life can been seen as beautiful because its the base reality that this life belongs to no individual being. It's obviously co-existing with the cosmos.

I am constantly torn between the two schools of thought he describes, the answer must lay somewhere in between. Remember your life, but don't let past experiences limit those yet to come. Remember you're alive, take with it the good and bad, it's through polarity that we can truly understand and appreciate the most beautiful experiences life has to offer.

When Alan said this photography meant you had a limited amount of film, a cartridge of about 24 shots. You had to leave it to a chemist to be developed which took about a week. Now just about everyone has a high-resolution digital camera of virtually limitless capacity and the output can be shared instantly with the entire world. Another comment refers to how many people don’t watch performers at rock concerts but instead look at them on the screens of their smartphones, divorcing themselves from the actual experience. Had he lived long enough to experience social media I don’t think he would have been in favour.

Life is like a movie-an illusion where consciousness manifests into 8 billion forms (bodies) to experience the drama of existence. Each of us (individualised consciousness) plays roles as heroes, villains, and everything in between. When the story ends, we die, forget, and return in a new role, beginning the cycle anew in this never-ending film. At its core, life is a profound game of attachment and detachment, teaching us to master the delicate balance between the two.
The pictures do help people especially those with dementia and Alzheimer’s. It helps them to remember events in their lives they may have forgotten that would bring them joy in the present moment.
Falun Dafa is a practice based on Buddhist tradition which will answer most of your questions concerning the mysteries of creation.
My parents were picture people. Everywhere we went they wanted to bring a camera for photo or video. I never liked being put in front of a lens and posed for a snapshot. We have very few photos of me past age 10 and my mom once in a while will mention this with a somber tone. When I was a teenager I finally figured out how to articulate my displeasure for being photographed to my parents. I said, "Just remember it. If a place or a piece of life is so wonderful you should be able to remember it always. I don't need a cheap photo of myself to trigger a memory. If I forgot it then it must not have been that special." Now this may be horrifically flawed thinking to some but, it's been great for my memory bank. For some reason the recounting of a memorable experience between my parents and I feels special as well because we both have to use our visualization in our own minds to see it as we remember it. How many scrap books are buried in the drawer that get flipped through in minutes and put back for another decade? If there were some fire or catastrophe to destroy those physical volumes of memories they'd probably be lost forever because you didn't imprint the memory deep enough in your mind. You may grow old and diseased in the brain and forget the simplest things but, those truly special memories will always be there as flashes of light in the darkness.

When people say stuff like this, it doesn't feel right, it's... he talks about it not being boring. I personally would prefer boredom to (gestures around) this. Idk, each time I hear this or similar ideas it just makes me think the person didn't have some experiences in life and it painted an incomplete picture in their understanding. Kinda like someone in Europe saying "we have it all and too much of this would become boring" while people in other parts of the world struggle with staying alive. Not that what they say is fully wrong, just incomplete and disrupted.
Boredom comes from boring, which means drilling into one's mind and when this happens usually people look for some way to escape, tv, music, booze, shopping, gossiping, and especially eating, the American Weigh.

And this , this right here, this shitc right here n***** ! 😂, 😏this is one key key 🔑 lol. Live like this, and you’re solved; you’re free of debate, delusion, and illusions, and false hope from false ideas. I commend highly this video/words in this one. He’s not “onto something” , this “is it”. This is a key component! I’ve been string this since a child ☁️ 🌞, and it all adds up, and this is the/a trick, and a giant component! Try everyone(take yourself out of bad thoughts, forward or backwards, live now, feel happy , and this one component (between them all) is crucial! 😁😋😊😏👍🏽. So go with it , and let this, in a way, be a mantra! If you do so (I’ve watched carefully to energy, and life, and personally beliefs, since I was 5(I’m now 35) so for 30 years , And watch the magic happen right in front of your eyes and physical self. It’s no lie, OR joke. Just try it for 3months… and watch what you can manifest and make reality. By just staying happy, never thinking bad thoughts(block them out with good thoughts and motives) and see what happens 😏😁😊👍🏽. At least try. Even if it sounds odd, and outa all sorts , try, I can promise you’ll see change. Don’t give up, trust and try. It’ll eventually happen and become faster and faster(momentum;) Take my word. You don’t give up on a video game if you die first level! You know the game’s possible to win….. so in the same, keep doing it, and you’ll soon enough see your uplift of levels, and it’ll start to happen 😏😌😉! Love you all!!❤. Stay happy mfs 😜. It works .. don’t take my word for it, butttt don’t give up first try(like a game). ..and you’ll eventually see the turn around + 😮😂😊.

I don't usually take any pictures when on vacation, or at events. I prefer to be fully present. I've got my memories.
Odd that I married a photographer, lol.
About the Camera Analogy: I've noticed from personal experience that the lower (Poor's or so) use the Camera because the Top always wants a piece of everyone on the Lower's Actions and Experiences. The Higher (Wealthy or so) don't need a Camera as they have lots of money to have their own Actions and Experiences. Just something I've noticed. Just wanted this entered as so for Future Reference(s).
As a whole I would say that the lower classes enjoy life a lot more than the rich, man is not supposed to be rich, the more money that one has, the more zeros . Falun Dafa is a practice based on Buddhist tradition which will answer most of your questions concerning the mysteries of creation.
I deal with anxiety which manifests in the past(past experiences) and the future(fear of unknown). The moment is ever presence which provides such a relaxed calm, even within moments that others judge as stressful and fearful. I believe that’s why Jesus Christ said “I am with you always…”(not exact) HE cleanses us through His death, which we find Life.
Also... That quote from Ajhan Sumedho is very simple, but profound: “Yesterday is a memory. Tomorrow is unknown. Now is the knowing.”
Nothing wrong with keeping memories .just don't dwell in past . But always remember loved ones you have no choice. It sounds good to say love in moment but are memories are part of us
