that quote came from the song. I related it to, focusing in on that spot of nonconception; being drinking the water from the mountain spring. Then the shitting my brains out commences, literally, my brain diarrhea's thought.

all sorts of little relativities

as life unfolds aren't we all moving as we are inclined

Yup... no notions

you are where you are for a reason, and tomorrow you are too

it is easy to become attached to I am this, I must do that, life is about this and this

let go (easier said than done) :wink: but meditation everyday helps

yup, there is a tendency to only want joy and no pain :-)

I see pain as an opportunity to grow stronger, to learn etc.
no joy without pain

have had lots of pain, and also lots of joy
sometimes pain so long I can't remember what things working were like
but suddenly things start working again and you appreciate it even more

there is only now, but often I plan tomorrow too

balance :-P

there is joy without pain.
some perspectives may not appreciate joy after joy and no salt of pain, "may not"
otherwise the aphorism is 'philosophical' a mind stopper.

Being awake usually entails being aware that you are 100% in control of your own life.




do you really think you can be 100% in control?  how would you know if you were at 100%?

Acceptance

if you dont accept you are never in control
acceptance is not about seeking control but making the best out of what you got
appreciate what you have at any time, work with what you have

control means choice here, you can chose what you do with what you have

worry about what I dont have
or appreciate what I have?

you can be 100% in control of own thoughts and actions, if you meditate enough
but not the kind of control where you think about every action, you just know it is right when it brings happiness to yourself and people around you

your point is valid though.. we are rarely free from own thought and rarely in control

control  -> choice

being in control is nice, and we rarely are in control always

i hear there are the rare oddities that have practiced hard enough to be able to dream awake while asleep 100% of the time... no unconscious sleep (if willed).  that would be my idea of being in control !
