NOW.


In the present world, we are almost always either disturbed by our past memories and embarrassments or worried about our future.

And many people advise living in the present moment as a solution to the problem. We create another problem for ourselves by trying to solve the former. By trying to live in the present moment as we do overanalyze our actions and our behavior, and by trying to be in the Present or Now, we won't. Then we force ourselves to be aware always and as we try harder we get further away from it. At this point, we are filled with guilt, negative self-talk, and more unhappiness.

DISCLAIMER: I'm nowhere qualified to give anyone any sort of advice not even to myself. this is just my understanding of the subject and I just sharing my knowledge, understanding, and perspective. so, don't take it too seriously. 

But if I am to solve this problem, firstly I will ask myself what is 'Now'? and as far as my understanding goes there is absolutely nothing other than 'Now'. When we say "I live in the past or the future" or "I don't live in the present moment" what we mean is we are most of the time thinking (self-talk, associations of words and images) about the past or the future. But even when we are thinking about the past or the future we are thinking in Now, not even today but just 'Now' or 'Present'.

I feel to realize this you have to sit, 'just sit' after some time you would automatically become aware of your thoughts (self-talk). Thoughts from the past and about the future how those thoughts have links with each other, how they interact, which thought leads to which, how fast is the activity of thought etc. Just by being automatically aware of thoughts you are beyond the past and the future, you are in 'Now'. Some thoughts may trigger good/pleasant feelings and some may trigger bad, but this entire phenomenon is happening in 'Now'.

You can't live in any other dimension except Now. Even if you desire to live in the past or the future you can't. Your the being of vast, wonderful, and weird Now.



Does this realization solve our issues? MOST PROBABLY NOT. You might still have bad feelings, bad emotions, agitated moods, etc ( Actually they are not bad they are just feelings, emotions, and moods). But the subtle difference might be you are okay with any feeling, any thought, any mood. You're not happy because you are happy, you're not afraid because you are afraid, you're not pleasant because you are pleasant, and you're not sad because you are sad. 

'Now' is not the function of time. Now is eternal it's always there. We might have time chronologically and in clock for convenient purposes but the real Now is timeless.




(Disclaimer: These thoughts are based on my present understanding and THIS IS FROM A STANDPOINT. My understanding may change. don't take it too seriously)

The Electrifying Life of Michael Faraday: From Apprentice to Scientific Giant.

In the annals of scientific history, few names shine as brightly as Michael Faraday. A man of humble beginnings, Faraday's life journey is a testament to the power of curiosity, determination, and unquenchable passion for science. His groundbreaking work in the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry revolutionized the world, earning him a place as one of the most influential experimentalists of the 19th century. Join us as we embark on a journey through the electrifying life of Michael Faraday. Early Life and Struggles Michael Faraday was born on September 22, 1791, in Newington Butts, Surrey, England. He was the third of four children born to a blacksmith and his wife. Faraday's family lived in poverty, and his early education was minimal. He left school at the age of 13 to work as an errand boy, and his prospects for a bright future seemed dim. However, his relentless thirst for knowledge would soon set him on a remarkable path. The Turning Point Faraday's life t...

Strong Nuclear Force - Force Of Nature.

What is a Strong Force?  Strong force is one of the four fundamental forces of the universe. Other forces are gravitational force, weak force, and electromagnetic force. Also, as the name suggests, it is the strongest of all four forces, 100 times stronger than electromagnetic force, million times stronger than weak nuclear force, and 100 trillion trillion trillion times stronger than gravity. The strong force acts at a very, very small distance only, it has a very short range. The strong force is responsible for keeping the nucleons (protons and neutrons) together inside the nucleus of an atom. Credit: Science facts The strong force is responsible for The strong force is responsible for holding proton-proton and proton-neutron together in the nucleus. The nucleus is a dense region of the atom around which the electrons form an electron cloud. Since protons are positively charged, they repel each other. But this repulsion is neutralized, and protons are held together with this stro...

Atom To Cell.

In this blog, we will discuss about the difference between the atom and the cell. Why atom is not the fundamental unit of life? and a journey of an atom to a cell. Firstly, what is the difference between an atom and a cell?  Atom is the fundamental unit of the entire matter, whereas cell is the fundamental unit of living matter. which means every cell is made up of atoms, whereas every atom is not a cell. Size of atom vs the size of cell The size of the atom ranges between 10 to the power minus 14 meters i.e. picometer (pm) to 10 to the power of minus 10 meters i.e. Armstrong. To visualize it, magnify an apple to that of the size of Earth, And now the size of the original apple is probably the size of an atom of this giant apple (from the book: six easy pieces). Whereas the size of the cell ranges between 10 to the power of minus 6 meters i.e. micrometers to 10 to the power of minus 2 meters i.e. centimeters. The overall conclusion about the size of atoms and cells is that an atom ...
