You can experience the moment when the guitar seems to be playing itself, no doubt not something you would experience very often Rob.

Richard, what you experience is a sleeping state, we are talking of awareness.

If a tree falls over in a forest and there is no-one there does it make a sound?

If the Wizard falls over in the square and there is no audience does he make a sound?

If a man says something in a forest and there is no one there to here him, is he still wrong? - a woman asked me that!

1190623 2011-03-31 19:56:00 I think that moments only exist in time whether it is the past, the present or the future. We have fuller control of what happens at this moment but past moments only exist in the memory. Things that happened in the past cannot be undone but can be remedied in the future. Future moments can be influenced by how we have acted in the past or in the present moment.

In A level Applied Maths and Physics we used to take moments about a point. Before we did that we asked ourselves "Is it my turn now?"

Nothing wrong with deep thinking but it can be distractive.

1190626 2011-03-31 20:17:00 Does a wise man like yourself really need an answer Cic?

Far from wise I am afraid 007.

It is not uncommon for people to experience living in the moment, be it driving a bulldozer, when evertything is in harmony,running a race and feeling it is no effort, or playing an instrument etc and finding it effortless.

Then again maybe not.

That was a typo Wal so thanks for that, but if we leave it as "here", making it a verb ie to place him in the moment, does that make it existentialist enough for you?

1190628 2011-03-31 21:29:00 So you can never have now, you just live in the past?
Urgh..... brain needs plaster, I got the dumb!
