CONSTANT MOTION;

[Pravin Kumar]

Constant Motion:

Life is constant motion, it never stops. If this motion is noticed it will allow much more understanding of life than if one is blindly controlled by habitual mind patterns that have a tendency to make things appear stagnant.

If the constant motion of life isn't understood, that's when the habitual conditioned mind patterns take over; it's just the process in place. You can be in a state where you are happy and out of nowhere arises something that triggers one of your habitual stagnated mind patterns. Depending on what these patterns are based in determines if you are still happy after it's attached to. This is how it works, we're pulled around by patterns and the constant motion goes unnoticed so it's controlling energy attaches to whatever pattern is associated with the moment. This is where everything arises from, feelings, emotions, sensations, judgements, hatred, and whatnot, hence the puppet on a string syndrome is king if the constant motion of life isn't noticed. Think about this, you can't have any feeling or emotional swing without attachment to motion, most people don't really have any inkling of this and because of this very few truly understand life. I don't say this in jest, I'm no different although I probably notice the constant motion a little more.

Here's something to do to possibly understand the constant motion a little better. Make a commitment to sit for a certain time, say thirty seconds, keep it real. In those thirty second just watch what arises, watch the constant motion, a thought arising and just notice it. Just sitting, looking, acknowledging, noticing, letting it arise and pass; all of this is just the constant motion of each particular moment. This should help in getting a better grasp on the constant motion. The committed sitting time is up to the individual or don't sit at all and remain a slave to the constant motion as it arises and habitually controls your life. It's the constant motion that makes life what it is and if this goes unnoticed so will most of your life.
