Directions

We're all walking in different direction. How do we know where we are heading?

To start with, our lives are interwoven in a beautifully intricate fabric. Sometimes people cross paths, sometimes they walk together. So my choices are not only a product of my personality but also of your actions. My thought could be instigated by an inner drive or an external stimulus... and the resultant choice would then lead to an action which manifests itself in a direction.

So, to know your direction, you must not only know yourself but also know everyone else around you. It gets more complicated when you realize that you've got to know all this in terms of the future.

Am I concluding then that it is not possible to know one's direction? No, I think it is.

If one does away with the mirage of time, which I feel is a deeply ingrained concept built to govern the rhythm of our lives, we will realize that the only direction that exists is in the present. The future does not even exist so the possibility of a direction existing in the non-existent concept of an imaginary context is flawed.

The only direction that exists is in this moment...Now. Needless to say that you know fully well where you are heading.

It is only in this flicker of the present that you will find anything of value. The past is a shadow, and the future... a dream.
