What is the Human Condition ?   Good Question , one that has been asked and answered with a variety of definitions. Here I want to explore it as a type of imbalance that exists with regards to the “conditioned”  human mind.

We all know balance is the key to growth and expansion , so this is not about defining The human mind or ego  as good or bad , I simply want to bring into the light that  it is out of balance on this planet , which is the reason for much of the individual and collective insanity that runs rampant down here on the earth plane.

The mind is simply a tool , just like the body , just like any “form”  that consciousness uses or animates to have experiences. The problem we have currently on this planet  is the over identification with the monkey mind.

Humans actually “believe” they are their thoughts, they actually believe they are their life situations, stories, humanity is lost in the narrative of the mind, the never ending stream of thought that is continuously , analyzing   judging, predicting , completely focused on the future or the past  … humanity is essentially lost in a repetitive time loop !

The cure to this aspect of the Human Condition is of course being present, when we are present we are in the most powerful state of being there is , presence is our best chance at turning humanity around , of curing ourselves of the individual and collective psychosis.

The Present Moment , Living in the moment, Being Present . These popular catch phrases,  these ideas are hot topics in the awakening discussion , and when understood and “Lived” are vital to staying sane in an insane world , but what does it actually mean to be present, to live in the moment .

All  of the great teachers out there  talk about being in the present moment as perhaps the most important aspect of  awakening , why … because the present moment is all that really exists, past and future or just ideas, constructs, thoughts coming from the world of form.

The key to actually living in the moment is really about understanding the “Human Condition”.  So what is the human condition , well the general connotation is that of … suffering, although there is so much more to “Being” human, much of it is quite wonderful , joyous and exciting !

So … what is causing the suffering part ?  Well … all I can share is my own personal experience , although from what I hear from others  out there , we are all very similar , we are  experiencing very similar challenges when it comes to trying to stay present and live in the moment .

It appears much of the challenge comes from our “over identification”  with form , which includes our thoughts  generated by the conditioned mind , our ego , our persona ,  most of which we inherited through our culture via indoctrination.
