"Living in the present moment is, in truth, a return to the cosmological life of space-time."
This statement encapsulates a profound understanding of existence, weaving together philosophical and scientific perspectives. It resonates with the ancient Chinese concept of “格物致知” (ge wu zhi zhi — to investigate things to extend knowledge) and aligns with modern insights into the flow of space-time and cosmic energy. Here is an interpretation:
The Energy Flow of Life-Time Cosmology in the Present Moment
Living in the present moment is not merely a psychological practice but a reunion with the life-energy that permeates space-time. It represents a harmonious alignment with the essential nature of existence, where past, present, and future converge in the experience of the now.
In the context of life-time cosmology, the present moment is not an isolated point in time but a nexus of energy flow, where the past meets the future and manifests as the dynamic vitality of the present. Each moment is infused with this energy, representing the infinite interconnectedness of the cosmos.
The Philosophy of "Touching the things-in-themselves" and "things-in-themselves" (The Ontology in the metaphysical world domain.)
“格物而物格” (touching the things-in-themselves and the things-in-themselves being touched.) implies that by investigating external phenomena deeply, we gain access into their fundamental essence. The "things-in-themselves" (本物；物自身) under scrutiny ultimately points to the void - metaphysical world (无) — not a nihilistic emptiness but a profound and boundless energy field that connects all things.
"本物" (True Nature of Things; things-in-themselves):
-
“本来无一物” (Originally, there is nothingness.):
This highlights the impermanence and interdependent nature of all things. Nothing exists independently; everything arises due to causes and conditions. This absence of fixed existence reflects the fundamental emptiness of reality. -
“无物而无不物” (With the nothingness of the things-in-themselves, there is nothing excluded):
Since things are deeply rooted in the nothingness of the things-in-themselves, they simultaneously manifest in infinite forms. This cosmological statement reveals the unity of nothingness and things, the cosmic flow that encompasses all phenomena.
Thus, living in the present moment is an awareness of this interconnected flow — embracing both the nothingness and fullness of life, liberated from clinging to the past or longing for the future.
"With the nothingness of the things-in-themselves, Nothing Excluded" and the Cosmic Energy Flow
These concepts articulate the universal principle of energy flow:
- The cosmos is in constant motion, with no fixed or eternal entities — only the unceasing transformation of energy.
- This energy manifests both as nothingness (the things-in-themselves) and as the fullness of all phenomena, embodying the interplay of ontological and phenomena presence.
To live in the present moment is to align oneself with this flow, experiencing the deep interconnection of all things, where individual existence rooted in the nothingness of the things-in-themselves and thus flourishes fully into the continuous unfolding of people-events-things in the society and universe.
The Flow of Energy in Life-Time Cosmology
In the framework of life-time cosmology, the universe can be understood as an intricate flow of energy, expressed in the following ways:
-
Continuity of Energy Flow:
Energy transcends time and space, interweaving past, present, and future into a seamless continuum. -
Interconnection of Individual and Universal:
Every being and phenomenon is part of a vast, interconnected energy network. Individual lives are localized expressions of this universal flow. -
The Present Moment as the Nexus:
The present is the convergence point of past and future, the meeting place of the entire cosmos. To live fully in the present is to step into the center of the cosmic energy stream and rediscover one’s intrinsic unity with the whole.
Living in the Present Moment as Cosmic Return
Living in the present moment transcends mere mindfulness; it is a return to the source — the cosmic energy flow that animates all of existence. By aligning with the present, we transcend the illusion of separateness and rediscover our identity as part of the continuous energy of the universe.
This alignment with the cosmic flow allows us to experience each moment as the full embodiment of time and space, infused with infinite potential and eternal life. Living in the present moment of rootedness, rooted deeply in the nothingness of the things-in-themselves, becomes a gateway to the timeless, boundless life of the cosmos, where we merge with the energy flow of all creation, realizing that we are not apart from the universe but an essential expression of its vibrant, flowing essence.
