Be the real thing

To be 'the real thing' is to be here now, focused entirely in the present moment.  How does this kind of attention impact on you?  What happens to the mind and its influence on your life as thoughts cease? As you feel this moment, how do you move?

When you ask how to be present, the mind tricks you into focusing on the future.  The present already exists and passes during your inquiry.  Notice how the mind creates visions of dreams and prompts you to assume they are merely a future possibility.  What happens as there is no more motive or seeking? What remains speaks for itself.

When we tell a story, one often leaves the present moment and returns to it upon the stories conclusion. However, when we live the story or embody the words that we invite before us, life is lived and becomes real with the realization or connection with the energy that is before us, no matter what form or sense the energy takes on within us. It is then being conscious of the energy that we are attracting and taking such an essence into our hearts to create the next great sensation.

Bern, another perspective is "you" attract nothing. In the eyes, the story is reflected. "Your" image is also reflected. Thus, I am not seeing "you" or the story. The eyes are only windows. I see "you" through the eyes not with them. The energetic messages are decoded. 'I am' is always inside. "You" are outside. As you are feeling dreams as the dreamer (the subject), they are dreams. If you take dreams as real, you cannot feel the subject and forget who you are.
