Mindfulness vs Thinking and Planning

Is there a conflict between being present and planning for the future? Is there a conflict between mindfulness and thinking?
"The best way to take care of the future is to take care of the present moment."

You are one of the most sovereign and genuinely spiritual people I have come across on KZbin. I appreciate that fact that you speak nothing more than the sheer truth. Thank you 🙏

[@Aroha016]

Much gratitude and appreciation always 🍁

[@angelabrown207]

I've struggled with this concept while learning mindfulness. I love how you explained it and what the objective should be. How to truly balance both skills in a Healthy way!❤ thanks for this insight.

[@user-fo1tv2gv5x]

Thank you for this message. We were just at yogaville with krishna das and I was considering this exact thought. My question was how does "being nothing" coexist with creativity?

[@Gaurav.P0]

I'm no guru... just a fellow wanderer on the path

My book 'I Am is Inside Out' mentions 'to deepen mindfulness, one has to experienced something deeper to be mindful of. To only expand awareness and focus on things the mind we typically use, its faculties, logic and temperaments prefer can't deepen. Information can't provide freeing the experiences that shallow mind is inhibiting, editing because the shallow mind refers to itself for solutions that retains its power over you.

Nope, not in this guys life. I am incredibly attentive, pay attention in the moment, focus and put in the maximum effort, when performing tasks, I do the work, give my attention fully to the work, then “let go” and all I create is more confusion and seem to fail at everything I do no matter how hard I try, or let go. I don’t know if maybe it’s my karma or something, but no matter what I do, tremendous effort and planning, or being in the now, life serves me a shit sandwich basically every day for the last 40 years. Tried everything, tons of effort, little effort, caring, not caring, being conscientious, being disconnected, booze & drugs for decades, sober for decades, no matter what this guy gets the shot end over, and over, and over, and over. At this point I do not even believe in the separate self, yet the character that types this seems to be the laughingstock of the universe. I don’t know.

Your comment resonates with me. I'm like a twisted creation that's was born to fail and be stood on. Iv felt like gods joke for a while as well, I'm feeling this but you know what I learnt to settle with this feeling. Best just play the hand your delt and enjoy the game. Don't worry cos lots of people feel like me as well.

What about creating art? Painting, writing songs, stories,etc? These things shouldn't be created with thinking about the future result. :)
