Sometimes it's great just to do things automatically without being
focused on them, that allows one to be mindful of more relevant things.

Their previous choices for President are no less bizarre than Bob

Not completely true. At every moment we are doing 100s or 1000s of
things. It is impossible to be focused on them all. There is a big
difference between being awake and aware in the moment vs focusing on
everything that is happening in that moment which is completely
impossible.

I believe you that if at every moment you're doing 100 or 1000 you
may find difficult to concentrate in what you're doing!. The whole
point of the practice of the present moment is breathing in awarenes

Mayka,
You are missing my point. One's body is always doing many many things
at once. One could not exist otherwise. Scores of muscles have to
move together to make even the simplest motion. To speak tongue and
lips and breath must all move at the same time. No one ever is doing

Hi 'Jackson',
Excellent questions, excellent. They're the kind of archetypal questions Jung
would have been proud of.

Edgar,
You're right about being more 'impromptu'. 'Focused' is a little harsh, it
also implies a goal. 'With complete awareness' would have been better.

You could be right here. But the question is why has the universe evolved in
such a way that we have a consciousness and a physiology that produces these
mind-expanding states? I guess if you haven't had such an 'experience' it'd be
hard to relate to.
Mike.
Good morning Edgar;
You're absolutely right the body is always doing many things all at
once. The practice is to be aware about what is happening in the
body and in the mind and also surroundings. Whether we achieve this
or not is a different matter. I have never say that this is an easy
