KEY-3 : LIVING IN THE PRESENT MOMENT What is living in the present moment? Living in the present moment is when you're fully focused and connected to the person that you're speaking to, connected to the place or the thing that’s right in front of you. You’re right here, right now, with all of yourself. When you're living in the present moment, you are aware of your Silent Watcher. Your Silent Watcher is fully engaged. You're in a neutral place observing whatever your thoughts and feelings are without judgement. When you're in the present moment you are fully connected to your core value so that you are connecting, in truth, with the person, place or thing that you're with. Your thoughts aren't wandering to the future. You're not thinking about something else or someone else, or thinking you should be somewhere else. You're really right now, right here. Why live in the present moment? Because it's fun! It's bliss! It’s where the joy juice is. Living in the present moment is a gem-like a delicious meal-like dessert all at once. KEY-4 : INTEGRITY, LOVE AND RIGHT ACTION What does it mean to live in integrity, love, and right action? Integrity is alignment. When you are in integrity you are in the Silent Watcher because you are observing your human experience- you are living in your human experience in the present moment. You are holding this expanded state of consciousness of observing and of also being in your truth, in your integrity. From integrity comes love. Love, true love, is a frequency of vibration and there are billions of states of love. Love, your unique vibration, is a love that is needed by everyone around you. And their love is another kind of love that you need. So, in this way we connect with each other to create the whole. And then there’s right action. You can think something, you can feel something, but then you have to take an action. When you take an action from your core virtue, when you take an action from the Silent Watcher and are in the present moment, that action is called right action. It is hitting the mark. It is shooting the arrow and hitting the bullseye. It’s being able to create and manifest the life that you dream about. It is how we connect spiritually and it is how we lead a fulfilled, purposeful life. Integrity, love, right action. By now you have read the first 4 Keys. I'd like to share with you an example from my life of how the keys work. Silent watcher, core value virtue, the present moment, integrity, love and right action.
