A Person Does Not Live This Way, But They Should!

760.4Question: What would we see if we lived just a single day? Besides this transition, what else should we see? If I am living solely in the moment?

Answer: You want to drink it in, to gulp it down until you are gasping for breath! You want to experience it from beginning to end, to draw everything in between, to draw it all into yourself!

Question: What does it mean to live this moment correctly?

Answer: To live it correctly means to attain it. Life is but a moment. Who is in control of it?

Question: Is that what we need to attain?

Answer: Yes. And furthermore, for what purpose was this moment given to me? What was I supposed to do What did I fail to do? And perhaps, do I still have the opportunity to do it?

Question: Are you talking about a constant work within this moment?

Answer: Yes, within that moment, that single moment.

Question: Then will there be another moment, and I will ask the same questions and move in the same way?

Answer: I do not know if there will be another moment. That remains unknown.

Question: Exactly! So, this is how I should be living this moment?

Answer: Yes.

Question: But people do not live this way, right?

Answer: People do not live this way, but they should!

Question: Should they? Will we be taught how to live like this?

Answer: No, I think that capacity is already built into us from the start. That is just the nature of human beings.

Comment: So are we controlled in such a way that this internal mechanism, our intellect and all these ongoing probing questions, is switched off and we just go on living like that.

My Response: The Creator made it this way on purpose.

Question: Why did He do that?

Answer: So that not too much would be demanded of us.

Question: Otherwise, He would demand it?

Answer: Of course!

Comment: Meaning: “What do you live for? What do you live each moment for? Who governs the world?” And so on, and so on.

My Response: Yes. If He had placed His own mind, the beginning, the end, all actions, and so on, into the creation, and we required to provide an answer to all this…

Question: So what is it that a person should understand? Let’s focus on the person.

Answer: A person must understand that there is a mystery in life that he must constantly strive to reveal. Not that someone else uncovered it long ago and now he can read and know about it; rather, he must dig deep within himself, within life, and within the Creator, and search for it himself.

Question: Is this what you call  a person’s real life?

Answer: This is life.

Question: What will he ultimately reach if he proceeds this way, if he takes these steps?

Answer: I do not know. Each one reaches something unique to themselves. Everyone has a completely precise, personal task in life!

Question: Is a person destined to arrive at this mission, at this root of one’s being, one way or another?

Answer: A person is nudged toward it, but I do not know whether he is going there. No one knows. Only the Creator. And even that may not be known in advance.

Question: So absolutely everything depends on the Creator—whether I move or not, everything?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Should I turn to the Creator and ask: “Reveal my path to me”? Or is that useless?

Answer: Try to ask.

Question: Should my prayer be to live life correctly, in a good way?

Answer: It should.

Question: What would you say to a person now?

Answer: You should live in such a way that in every moment you are trying to uncover the mystery of life.
