The key is to learn how
to live present,
2
00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:06.820
but the mind can't do that.
The mind hates the present.
3
00:00:06.900 --> 00:00:11.810
The mind can only do two
things: worry about the future
4
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:13.900
and reprocess the past.
5
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:16.920
It does not know how
to be present.
6
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:21.829
Present always feels boring,
empty, not enough.
7
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:28.230
So we run into the future
and drag along the past instead.
8
00:00:28.460 --> 00:00:33.590
Once you get that insight that
presence, pure presence,
9
00:00:34.369 --> 00:00:37.579
doesn't come easily to people,
you have to learn how to do it.
10
00:00:38.060 --> 00:00:41.030
And you've got to take off
your Problem-Solving hat.
11
00:00:42.020 --> 00:00:45.380
If you're solving problems,
you're into the future,
12
00:00:46.070 --> 00:00:49.100
in pure presence there's no
problem to solve.
13
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:54.060
It just: it is what it is,
what it is, what it is, yeah!
