We get out of bed one day and we're having a good day.
And again...
The mind, because the mind doesn't really know what's going on in those situations, it very naturally, very understandably, has to pin it on something.
It goes, oh, I know why you're feeling so good.
It's because of ABC, which is the illusory activity of the mind.
It's got to try and pin every single feeling that we have onto a circumstance.
So that's what it does.
But once we see that our default is clarity, that our default is calm, that our default is, well, basically being in reality, reality being the present moment,
I mean, everything that's not now categorically is imagination.
You know, it's as simple as that.
Everything that's not now is imagination.
And so we're built as human beings, as far as I can tell, we're built to thrive in reality.
We're built to thrive in the present moment.
And that's when all of the skills that we've learned and everything that we've put into our little left brain thought system, it all comes to bear.
in the present moment.
And then you've almost like got this extra layer of nonsense later over the top of it, a bit of it going, you know, like the sort of DVD commentary track.
Well, this is what Giles is doing now.
And Giles thinks this and, and, and yeah, Giles is making all the decisions here and I'm in charge and, you know, and it's, it's what, once you've seen through that, the, the need, I suppose the need to,
try and deal with that through meditation or whatever.
You know, meditation is one way of dealing with it.
