I lost my Mom in 2001 and it broke me for a very long time. I'm sorry for your loss, and say that knowing it will be of little help, but wanted to pass along something else that might... It took years for me to realize that the she would never want her passing to break my heart or be a burden to me, not even for a single moment. She would want me to be thankful for all the love and laughter and good times we had, and to smile every time I think of her, and never regret things left unsaid or things we might wish we hadn't, and never forget that she loved me with All Her Heart. I don't know why it took as long as it did for me to realize that, but the moment I did the weight of the grief and the anger I'd been carrying for years just fell away and has never returned. I believe that even though you had a falling out, whatever the reason, that your Mum would want the same for you. I hope this helps. Peace!

Life is just a never ending series of problems to solve. You can't wait for your problems to be gone to be happy, because there will never come a day when you've solved it all. True happiness comes from connecting with the present moment and realizing that it is all you will ever have, even if the "present" isn't always pleasant.

Sam Harris argues that the present moment is all that we have. He says that the past is gone and the future is uncertain, so the only thing that we can be sure of is the present moment. He also says that we can choose to focus on the present moment and enjoy it, or we can dwell on the past or worry about the future. I agree with Harris that the present moment is all that we have. I also agree that we can choose to focus on the present moment and enjoy it, or we can dwell on the past or worry about the future. I think that it is important to be mindful of the present moment. When we are mindful, we are aware of our thoughts, feelings, and sensations. We are also aware of our surroundings. Mindfulness helps us to appreciate the present moment and to live more fully. I think that it is also important to let go of the past and to not worry about the future. The past is gone and we cannot change it. The future is uncertain and we cannot control it. So, the best thing that we can do is to focus on the present moment and to live in the here and now. I think that Harris's video is a helpful reminder to focus on the present moment and to enjoy life. I appreciate you sharing it with me. Here are some additional thoughts on the topic of the present moment: • The present moment is all that we have, but it is also all that we need. • The present moment is full of beauty and wonder. • The present moment is a gift, and we should cherish it. • The present moment is a choice, and we can choose to focus on it or to dwell on the past or worry about the future. • The present moment is a journey, and we should enjoy the ride.

A lot of words for a one sentence point.

"We're always a phone call away from being starkly reminded of our mortality."

I have heard Sam mention in his lessons in KZread or the Waking Up app about the concept that we will never arrive. But it is just recently that I am starting to understand it. The now is our only contact with what we call reality, it's our only interface with reality. So the thought that we would be happy after getting the things that we aspire, the "happy" part is something we will not arrive on. But instead, we can be happy now at this present moment. Life is a continuous stream of now.

MOBY MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND IS THE BEST

Thank you Sam Harris !

Incredible video! Love the music love the message. A lotta people commenting that the music is terrible however they just missed the whole point of the video.

Indeed, here and now is all there is. Carpe diem.

Transcription: It is always now. I actually want to talk today about death. Now, most of us do our best to not think about death, but there's always a part of our minds that knows this can't go on forever. We the part of us always knows that we're just a doctor's visit away or a phone call away from being starkly reminded with the fact of our own mortality or of those closest to us. Now, I'm sure many of you in this room have experienced this in some form. You must know how uncanny it is to suddenly be thrown out of the normal course of your life and just be given the full-time job of not dying or caring for someone who is. But the one thing people tend to realize at moments like this is that they wasted a lot of time when life was normal. It's not just what they did with their time; it's not just that they spent too much time working or compulsively checking email. Is it that they cared about the wrong things? They regret what they cared about; their attention was bound up in petty concerns year after year when life was normal. And this is a paradox, of course, because we all know this epiphany is coming. Don't you know this is coming? Don't you know that there's going to come a day when you'll be sick or someone close to you will die, and you'll look back on the kinds of things that captured your attention and you'll think, "What was I doing?" You know this, and yet if you're like most people, you will spend most of your time in life tacitly presuming you'll live forever-watching a bad movie for the fourth time or bickering with your spouse. These things only make sense in light of eternity. There better be a heaven if we're going to waste our time like that. There are ways to really live in the present moment. What's the alternative? It is always now, however much you feel you may need to plan for the future, to anticipate it, to mitigate risks. The reality of your life is now. Now, this may sound trite, but it's the truth. It's not quite true as a matter of physics. In fact, there is no now that encompasses the entire universe. You can't talk of an event being simultaneously occurring here and one at the same moment occurring in Andromeda. The truth is now is not even well-defined. As a matter of neurology, we know that inputs to the brain come at different moments and that consciousness is built upon layers of inputs whose timings have to be different. Our conscious awareness of the present moment is, in some relevant sense, already a memory. But as a matter of conscious experience, the reality of your life is always now. And I think this is a liberating truth about the nature of the human mind. In fact, I think there's probably nothing more important to understand about your mind than that if you want to be happy in this world. But the past is a memory. It's a thought arising in the present. The future is merely anticipated; it is another thought arising now. What we truly have is this moment, and this, and this. We spend most of our lives forgetting this truth, repudiating it, fleeing it, overlooking it, and the horror is that we succeed. We manage to never really connect with the present moment and find fulfillment there because we are continually hoping to become happy in the future, and the future never arrives. Even when we think we're in the present moment, we are, in very subtle ways, always looking over its shoulder, anticipating what's coming next. We're always solving a problem, and it's possible to simply drop your problem, if only for a moment, and enjoy whatever is true of your life in the present. This is not a matter of new information or more information. It requires a change in attitude, it requires a change in the attentiveness you pay to your experience in the present moment.

@@jeffsimoneaux5968 There's no such thing as "atheistic thinking". Atheism is the rejection of a single proposition, disbelief in the claim that a god exists. It says nothing about consciousness, morality, an afterlife, or any other topic. It's only from being indoctrinated into Judeo-Christianity that you assume all of those things must be accepted or rejected as a single package. And you try to talk to me about limiting one's conceptions of the universe.

"the now" is just a mental concept of time sequence. For once you apply the "now" concept, you're implying the opposite of that concept. But in the most nudist form, the "now" is nothing more but "in this instance". There's always "this instance", without it implying to some opposite or continuous concept. So there's no "moment", no "now", but only "in this instance": the spontaneous effect, that goes through everything.
