it's not about time, so forgive the title, but Present Moment Awareness seems to be taken by a specific group and Present Awareness seems to be missing something. But I'm not educated so what do I know.
It's not complicated even though most people bastardize it and complicated it.
i want to know how important you think it may be.
When you brush your teeth, are you really brushing your teeth, or are you planning your day. Do you think your teeth would benifit from your complete attention, you know, like the driver you hit in the rear while talking on your cell phone.
Humans can compute many thoughts while physically doing unrelated task. Is this really a good thing?
The Buddha's enlightenment didn't come from somewhere outside, he didn't see god, go to another place, or suddenly understand heaven.
He simply found, through meditation and attention to breath, that enlightenment was here and is always here, but our thinking gets in the way. Being in the present moment helps relieve subjectivity and allows you to see things as they are, which is what Buddhas enlighenment simply was.
Hope this is enough to chew on.
