Constructionist - Resetting, Budgeting, and Stabilizing

We come out of our past, construct in the present and reach for the future, our creativity is what consumes us and need not destroy us. Safety and stability needs not be based on gambling and wishful thinking, but better yet on sound planning in our Politics, Entertainments, Fashions and how we conceive and design Sex.

Yes, we are all by design, our own designs, and our own design managements. Life Management is like running a business, or a bank; it is all in having the skills of judgment and allocations to implement the plans and reach the goals that we construct. Life Management is for another name our Politics, and what we think will benefit us and create a desired lifestyle of thriving outcomes. If we design our politics and our ways of thinking and acting to stabilize us over time, we have created a budget and forming the values along with the pertinent guidelines to entertain us this side of death, amuse us this side of insanity, and fashion us to be outstanding and noticeable on the stage of our lives.

At the event of our sixth year of publications, we are writing and picturing the notabilities of an active Resetting Time and period in world development and converging world economies. What is popular and in demand is somewhat a never version of Liberalism, which is founded on joint efforts and joint benefits. At Beyond Elite Magazine, we have had a mission to confront duplicity and displace dualism with open and transparent attitudes and practices. Enjoy this current issue of our contemporary times and Let the Good Times Roll.

Now - A Difficult Concept or Not?

Now as a mental construct is difficult for people to perceive and as a result produces a burden of grief for themselves and others. Difficulty to conceive a state of now and hold in one’s mind as a state of constant or conscious and a condition of awareness and perceptual significance is the idea of now as a constant.

Think about it, if one is preoccupied with thinking about everything to match with some idealized way of their own thinking, here and now is thought to be empty and meaningless when compared to could be, should be and out to be goals to satisfy the higher order of things and their nature. The consequences of not constructing a mental neutral place to observe from, experience of and learn from takes the mind away from the here and now and secludes in the ideas of when. Pragmatic, practical and profitable are non-functional to the wondering mind.

When a mind is focused on and centered upon dreaming and off in the distance, there is no actuality of fact, or holding of what is in fact or can be known as evident and evidence. Sound like a bunch mumbo jumbo or semantics? Well not really, I am just merely stating how it is that people are not moved or drawn to the reality of them or even affected by them or the world around them. For they have learned to think of forsaking them for the imaged and spiritual version of them in their dreams. Happiness is a sought after thing or vague idea that is taught to exist in parables, myths and stories and is meant to be bigger than and grander than what one could observe and know, some sort of grand condolence. So ‘now’, and what do you see, do touch, and do refuse to feel is of lesser or meaningless consequence, or so we tell ourselves.

Paradoxically, and in reality, there really is only now and what exists now, and so now is real. The rest is an overactive imagination and relentless and resentful pursuit of a mirage of sorts and chasing of an elusive life of supposed excitement that always falls short. No wonder speed is such a convenient and conducive drug of choice for dreamers.

Now and being focused on what is now and staying present in the moment is the ground of experiment and experience that merges the past, thinks in the present, and thinks and plans for the future. Now and what we learn in the moment does not need explanation, comparison, philosophy, science or folklore to interpret, less it be a distortion. Now is how things are and what is now. Now is without control, without force, without magic, without rank or status, without, but really now is with and within. Now is the pause that refreshes. Now is the result of all the yesterdays. Now is the product of what was perceived, as it exists now. Now seems to be and is tenuous, for now is in the moment and forever changing and forever in process. Now is as good as it gets and actually gets and gives what could be seen as good if we weren’t so high-strung and so weird about believing in what ain’t, and surely ain’t now.

Life and living is actually incredibly easy and we make it difficult and tell ourselves that it seems impossible, but just wait for fixing it. Ha!
