monastic life teaches us to experience the moment.
As said the monastic rules, (I rely mainly on the rules of St. Benedict (RB)) do indeed allow an isolated life, because otherwise the eel is conscious of everyday life outside the monastery Moors.
Just now also the canonical hours of prayer, which is as I said is not about the specific time, even if today's practice changed in most monasteries on the clock. In fact, watches are designed to determine the monastic prayer times more precisely (as containing every thing will be outside control when the time is gnawing ones).
U (h) rsprünglich it was about the right time the right time the right moment. What the ancient Greeks referred to Cairo. In Cairo mythology had ne punk hair style, much like the Chinese in the kufu movies: bald and on the back of the head 'nen braid. And where one could catch him if he slipped past - like just the right moment.
When Benedict states in his rules, for example, for the winter: The Vesper but is so placed that one at the table (it is about the subsequent meal) no lamp light takes a lot more everything must still be done in daylight (RB. hold 41.8) or Lauds dawn is (RB 8.4), etc. then ds not clear it comes at 7:00 clock zusingen dun pray but at the right hour. At present, the skin there with the morning office, while we keep the sun rises.
The hourly prayers characterize the day time, lauds means the sun rises, the day is dawning. The primary (does not happen here) would indicate the beginning of the working day "is the big day - the day got started," etc.
often live always and at all times not only at the moment. "What have I discussed yesterday with Mr. Peters?" "How do I get to Marianne that I have to cancel the appointment?" "Did I even thought of everything" I must not forget to fill up her still "" What I have just this Type angry in the hallway! "If I finish typing my text to her, that gives me really looking forward " and what I know what a so everything flows through the head. The
could be quietly pious thoughts, but is it the thoughts of the moment, we do so now? No. In the movie Kung Fu Panda
says the old white turtle (I forget her name unfortunately imemr) the past is history, the future just a rumor ... but when is now?
JeeeeeeettzzzzzT mist over already.
do not now seen Chronologically
should be where the? Between Past and Future, nix the touch, we can not fix the perceived gap between us just both sides are approaching infinity in the end nothing is left.
It's like the year zero so it was not ah, there was a BC and 1 AD - no 0 or 24
the Clock Clock displays 9999 12:59 you irgendwastel and when she turns 24 is to it is already 0 clock and any time thereafter, Unit 24 Clock it like that now not even a my long way for these frills sits under the M on your keyboard ok μ the my
So how can I live in the now when it does not exist? (There are literally come into existence = (ge))
Well, it exists just now but not over time. It is transcendent. It is a piece of eternity.
eternity's not simply an endlessly long time - but then if there is no time. Ok
Metapysisch very paradoxical and thus in words and confusing - even if Wittgenstein said what one can not speak one must remain silent experimental ego still
release you from the time when you try to let go of the past and the future is just nothing of this world more left, but it is now entering the phenomenon.
Enjoy the game of pure emotion, not einortbar because we are bound in our thinking at the time. The moment has (to use words seriously Cassierers) symbolic conciseness and the symbolic form of the language changed him.
The precision counts. Praegnans = Latin fertility / productivity
The need to no longer perform assigned grammar and destroyed the experiencing. With language, thought and even preconscious, although it is held, you can remember it and even talk about it and share with others. But you soltl exchange not know you broke not think experience, easy.
This is difficult and usually only partially folded (sebst in old monks) but this approach is golden.
I am convinced that if you try you can experience this moment and come on in the now. Everyone should try to do this once a day - to perceive the moment when his Uniqueness.
It also helps to focus on what at th straight tuned as they say. So when I sing her psalms of Lauds in the morning, then I would sing psalms and not consider what I write you about the evening.
same way you can stay tuned in everyday life. When you go shopping to go shopping and consider not know if you have identified the iron. This is not a call for his recklessness on the contrary, if you test iron during ironing when you were and clean up during the cleanup when you HAVE turned off the iron and you have to buy up the ironing and cleaning up is not about care.
clear that will not do ever since you while ironing a call received and then marked test when you go shopping now no immediate effect does not work anymore because then come the kids from the daycare center and then the turn and that's why you hear now as you the shirt for the conference tomorrow yes you have ironed mode yesterday as promised and the rest can be left undone and you go just now going fast ...
zack and past and future of breaking up in and you can not stay on task.
A monastic rules and especially the Divine Office want to give part time to time to give opportunity to allow the checks to the "hour" field. to greet the day or night which the Lord now gives. His presence - both of the moment and that of the Lord - to enjoy.
As I said the day is not a monastery. Should not he. The monastery is special, for people who have dedicated this special (and exchange them for the world) or just stop by if possible, for people looking for a break in need of help to arrive m related to it now.
But if we set up deliberately and accordingly, can we (are all religions because that experience is not typical monastery religion typical) in everyday life from the experience of the monks what to do and life sub specie aeternitatis anzushen as in Christian spirituality means - from the viewpoint of eternity.
Once a day, feel and enjoy the moment of genius do so only for you, comes into existence.
And you search out a job and devote yourself to her completely - age quod agis - do what you do
