Just Watch<\/h1>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Look at your watch. \u00a0What time is it? \u00a0We are so locked into our habitual conditioning about schedules and time of day relative to daily duties that we are nearly constantly checking on the time. \u00a0In some forms of meditation, such as Buddhist Mindfulness and Vedantist Enquiry, the processes require the development of a mental mechanism, a mind-triggering device or technique that can help to remind us to periodically check the state of our mind. \u00a0A very efficient way to develop a reminder device is to incorporate a device that has already been formed. \u00a0We can use an already formed habit as a reminder to be present. What time is it? Time to awaken from the dreams of delusion. What time is it? \u00a0It is NOW, right NOW; \u00a0to be present is to exist in THIS moment, not mentally absorbed in the dreams of memories of the past or imaginations of the future. \u00a0 Look at your watch again. \u00a0What time is it, really?\u00a0\u00a0It is the present moment to which we have assigned a conceptual number. \u00a0 We use this looking at our watch to remind us to JUST WATCH, to just be a knowing witness of the present event-structure of conditionality that is happening NOW, whether in the mind or in the externally appearing world. This kind of persistent reminder allows us to develop a more stable shift in perspective, from a separative and dualistic view toward a unified and holistic view. This can culminate in a samadhi of holistic apperception, living in presence in a spontaneous watching of everything being part of everything else in a unified interdependent matrix beyond all conceptual time.<\/h2>\n
