Shawna sort of bounced through the door to my office. Her blonde curls flouncing after her. She was maybe 27 or 28 at the time. Big smile on her facing while wearing a summer type dress of bright colors.

I thought to myself, she doesn’t present, that is, give off the vibe of having a problem. She settled herself primly in the interview chair. She chatted about the weather and how nice spring was moving along.

Then she came to her point. “Dr. Bob, I can’t figure out tomorrow. I know that sounds a bit strange. I think I’ve got this thing of living in the moment. But what if I want tomorrow to be different from today? How do I live in this moment and still make the next as I want it to be?”

I happen to have a ready answer for her. “You live now as if it will be your tomorrow. For your future is in your consciousness now. What you think and do, as you live in this moment, sets you up for what your tomorrow will be. Even sets you up for the next moment of your life.”

I had her think of the last time she was crying, either for sorrow or for joy. I showed that she just didn’t shut off the tears. They sort of had to run their course. Each moment one is in the act of crying, a certain emotional state is playing itself out. That emotional state cannot usually be turned off like a faucet. It takes time to subside.

Or like a runner who has just finished his race. He is gasping for breath and it takes time for his breathing to recover to normal.

But even more so in excited feelings. For in our consciousness tomorrow already exists. Now there is a full quantum insight to help explain this, but it was not necessary for Shawna. She wanted an answer to take with her within a few minutes, as most of us do. Suffice it to say that I showed that life is one continuous flow, though we can only really be in this moment. But whatever is happening in the flow of this moment, most often gets carried into the next.

So, be now what you want to be tomorrow. If you are down in this moment, resolve to change that by willing yourself, in this moment to be upbeat. If you are inattentive right now, decide right now to pay better attention and do so in this moment. If you are tired of mourning (feeling sad over a death) in this moment, determine to put away mourning right now. This kind of thing you do in each moment until your next moment, or your tomorrow, is the way you want it to be.

Shawna seemed to get the idea, especially after she suggested that is why kids can’t simply turn of the tears. They have worked themselves into a state and need time to change states.

I believe it is easy to make the connection between your consciousness and the future and being happy and knowing the meaning of your life. If you are not happy in this moment, you need to consciously do the things that will bring you happiness beginning now and continuing into the future. The future is already contained within your consciousness. You need only apply what you are aware of now with what you want to be aware in the next moment, or tomorrow.

• Alternate Universe I have been following the show Lost since the beginning, and I like everyone else who is watching it am very confused. One of the most confusing parts for me is the sideways world they are creating. What's that all about? Maybe it really is an alternate universe. And......

First, I think, we need to unpack the word “God.” Some of you reading this post will have no baggage to be carried around about the word “god.” However, others of you may have tremendous bags, loaded with all kinds of meaning: good, bad, indifferent.

Let me develop a singular definition of God for this post, so we are all on the same page at least for this post. God for me is the Cosmic, Universal Consciousness that is the Universe we live in. God is neither male nor female, does not make judgements, loves us all equally, supports and sustains life through unconditionally love. God’s main reason for bringing us into existence is that we might experience on God’s behave. God knows Itself through our experiences. For short, I’ll call God in this post, the Cosmic Consciousness.

Then, I can say that I believe that God can’t have us find happiness unless It, God, is involved. This doesn’t mean that the Cosmic Consciousness imposes Its will upon us. Rather, it means that the invitation to happiness is always open as we find our connection, our bond, with the Cosmic Consciousness. As C. S. Lewis put it, there is no such thing as happiness apart from the Cosmic Consciousness.

Why? Because the Universe is One harmonious entity. Happiness, after all, might be defined as being in complete harmony with oneself. Peace might be defined in precisely the same way – complete harmony within oneself. Complete Harmony is achieved when you resonate with the Cosmic Consciousness. Indeed, quantum physics shows us that all is vibration, literally. Some vibrations are at such a rate that we can see them. But we know there are other vibrations which we cannot see: infrared, x-ray, gamma ray, etc. Even the Earth, the planet upon which we live, have its own unique vibrational identity. To resonate with these frequencies is to set up or generate sympathetic vibes. To be in tune.

When God is defined as unconditional love, then when we would find unconditional love, know unconditional love, we will set ourselves to vibrating at the same frequencies as the Cosmic Consciousness. In other words, happiness is impossible without bond between the Cosmic Consciousness and yourself. This is not to arbitrary; this is not a demand with an “or else” attached to it. This is an invitation to join the on-going, everlasting party!

You can’t be happy unless you include the Cosmic Consciousness. You will be happy, now and always, when your voluntary bond with the Cosmic Consciousness is secured and steadfast from you side. The meaning of life which is to be happy, consists fully of sympathetic vibration with the Cosmic Consciousness.

Obviously, if any of these are going on for you, you quality of life is diminished. Which, in turn, means that the meaning of life is not getting through to you. The meaning of life is to be happy. If you are so distracted by jumbled thinking that you cannot find this meaning, happiness is not with you.

The remedy? Be conscious of your mind. Sounds like a pun. Perhaps it is. Perhaps that will help you remember it. I am conscious of my mind.

Stop. Think.

What are your options? Opinions? Relations? Expressions? Activities? Goals? Dreams? Needs? Wants? You can only recognize any of these by being conscious of your mind.

You become conscious of your mind when you stop and think. Sit quietly in a quiet place. Eliminate as many sensory distractions as you can. In concentration just watch the flow of your thoughts as they pass by in your head. Do not, repeat, do not make judgements as to whether your thoughts are good or bad, useful or useless. Just watch. Observe.

by h.koppdelany

What’s beneficial about this? First, you are quiet, if even for a short time. That in itself is good for you. Second, you get to observe the jumble of thoughts that naturally course through your mind. When you are ready, third, you “capture” one thought about something or someone. You thoroughly examine that thought. What will you do with that thought? What needs to be done?

Suppose you have a thought of your spouse. That thought leads to another, your wedding anniversary. Ah, you need to get a thoughtful present to celebrate.

Or you think of your job. What needs to be done, as priority, tomorrow? What’s the first thing you need to do tomorrow morning to get it done appropriately?

Do you see? By taking a quiet moment to watch the streaming-consciousness of your life, you get the opportunity to organize your thoughts. Guess what that does? It simplifies and enhances your life. You can develop the time to be happy.

Repeat after me: I am conscious of my mind. Then take two minutes to quietly observe your rushing river of thought. Then grab one thought and make it realizable. A real, key life phrase: I am conscious of my mind.
