'immersion in the moment', what hippy feel-good crap.
there's more to it than that. There is a difference between being a student of reality and being a master of reality. You want to go run around on the playground like a 5 year old, fine. I'll be in the teacher's lounge smoking cigarettes.

There is a difference between being a student of reality and being a master of reality.
Not entirely sure what you mean here...you ARE reality. In terms of absolute truth, you and reality are entirely 100% equal. Your big toe nail is equal to a one ton piece of solid gold. You cannot be lesser or greater than reality.
there's a big difference between believing in what you want to be true and believing what actually is true.
If it is actually true, then it requires no belief. How are you so sure it is actually true?

yeah, we mainly just complain to eachother and ask ourselves what we did to deserve getting stuck with a bunch of bratty, undisciplined kids as students.

Being in the moment is a very important aspect to life and a path to change. The moment can be a very elusive thing, am I in the moment? or am I outside of it? Am I in the moment before? Am I an a moment years ago?
Salvia has taught me so much about time. It is so much more incredible then I previously would have thought possible.
Each moment lives on as its own existence. The power of that moment IS lost in that moment. While time moves on without it... Turn the page.
This knowledge ties in directly with Castaneda's teaching of recapitulation. Taking back your energy from previous moments. Its real, it works.
Time is such an incredible concept, I feel that only part of it lies within our reason. Perhaps my mind is just to simple to grasp it all at once...
I think the important thing is to understand that everything happens when all of your attention is in the moment, thats where you should try and be.
