Super Present

Tonight I fell asleep a few times watching a video. This resulted from a mixture of overeating, which Paul warned us about five times today, and the movie’s narration being super dry.

It also brought me super present.

Every so often, I go to a web site, read a passage in a book, hear something, think of something, or meditate, and all identification with the self and thoughts of the future or past disappear. This was one of those moments.

So I was watching the movie, and I noticed the way I felt. I noticed how sleepy I was becoming, I noticed fighting it. I noticed falling asleep a few times, awakening, and still being present. It was like in Being John Malkovich, except I was in myself. I experienced life as me, but as though I were watching a movie.

The movie was Ramana Maharshi – Abide As The Self. Enjoy!
