    Do you get bored of breathing oxygen? It’s possible to not get bored of doing anything (as long as it’s what you want to do)

    January 21, 2018 - By Dave

    Anyone saying ‘Don’t you get bored of ding the same thing every day/week/whenever…?’ is like saying ‘Don’t you get bored of breathing Oxygen? Wouldn’t you prefer to breathe another gas for a change?’ If the only present that exists is the present right now, then every time you do something, it’s possible to think of it as the first time…

    The philosophy of Snufkin [pt.6] – Is the only person –and the only moment– that exists this one right now? There’s no past you, no past you, no future you, but only this one right now?

    January 2, 2018 - By Dave

    Tomorrow and yesterday were at a distance. – Snufkin There’s a theory that the only real you that exists is the one you are now. And the only moment that exists is this one right now. And that’s one’s now gone (ie. doesn’t exist anymore). You don’t live in the future (or die in it either) –you live and die…

    The philosophy of: Que sara sara

    November 20, 2017 - By Dave

    If the past is the complete opposite of the future, then if the past is set, that must mean that the future is set in absolutely 0.00000000 ways. There may be a few highly probably things that will happen in your long and short term future, but there is a slight probability that you may be dead by the end…

  • On Indifference - On Providence - On the philosophy of... - On the Present - On the Stoicism of...

    The Stoicism of: Chloe (the ‘Wow we’re going to Disneyland do I look like I give a fuck’ girl)

    November 2, 2017 - By Dave

    Stoicism’s about focusing on and thinking only about the things you can control. And forgetting about the things you can’t. It’s about focusing on now, and not taking anything–past, present or future–for granted. Because one, your future’s not guaranteed AT ALL, two, at any moment you could leave life, and three, it’ll be over in a blink anyway. And it’s also about not wanting what you…

    Chunkyism - On the Present - On time

    The philosophy of: Chunky pt.8 – Though the past has shaped you, the only time that actually matters is this moment right now

    October 24, 2017 - By Dave

    This is Chunky. And Chunky could give a fuck about the past or the future. All that he gives a shit about is RIGHT NOW.  Though his past behaviours, training and experiences have shaped how he behaves, all that shit doesn’t matter now. What matters is how what he’s become is able to be present right now. And isn’t that…

    Welcome back to the ‘What is Mariana listening to at the moment’ online internet website page. Here’s what you’ve missed previously: part 1 and part 2. Now for part 3… If you asked any animal in the wild, a hummingbird, white ant or a mountain ash eucalyptus tree: ‘Are you happy with your life? Do you enjoy this life? Couldn’t…

    De-vice - On the Present

    Another student of mine inspires me (+ another reason I’m going the next 364 days without taking a photo)

    September 6, 2017 - By Dave

    I’m not taking a photo of anything (other than practical reasons, receipts etc. or for this blog) until September 2018. This is why, But today, a student of mine gave me another reason. How long is a moment (and what is it)?  Watch this (at 1:40): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j5sn2UyTp4 When you see something magical, just an amazing moment where nothing else matters…

    Simultaneous experiment #2: Go 12 months without taking a single photo

    September 5, 2017 - By Dave

    I made three new year’s resolutions this year and one was: Be Present. And for the most part I have. I don’t use my phone or computer in the presence of any friends anymore. I check my phone twice a day. I have 0 things that give me notifications and my phone is always on silent. I also look back…

  • Constant Consciousness - On the Present

    You’ve got this ‘Now’, your past ‘Now’s and your future ones. Which one are you present in?

    July 18, 2017 - By Dave

    Life’s just a series of ‘Now’s. A bunch of consecutive moments where the only place you are actually present is the current one right now. Yet so many of us spend 0.00000 of our time living in it. There’s this ‘Now’ and then there’s this ‘Now’ (also don’t forget this one. Or this one. Now this one. Or this one.…
