Evolving Moment to Moment

Every moment is a constant process of evolution. Every day we receive new impressions of the world through our senses, and they change us. Some people are more resistant to change then others, especially if they holdfast to a strict worldview such as religious ideology. But even people that have strict world views will eventually encounter suffering in the world that will push them to seek a different way, and evolve spiritually. They are like trees that break if they are less flexible when the wind blows; the discord of their existence with actual reality eventually builds up and shocks them into having to face truth.
For those of us who have already started to seek the truth, it is important to know that every moment is an opportunity to practice seeing the truth. In every activity you do during the day, you can practice seeing when your mind gets in the way. If someone angers you, something makes you sad, or you get frustrated with your work etc, recognize it is just a condition of the mind that passes. It is material thought and not part of pure consciousness that does not contain such bias. You have to separate your mind from your spirit, energy from nothingness. Think of it as perfect objectivity. The more grounded you become in this objectivity, the more peace naturally arises within you. 
Whenever you recognize your mind intruding on the present moment, you are taking steps in changing your mind into the mind of Truth. Your brain starts perceiving things differently and it evolves physically, because you can change the way it is wired. So you are taking conscious steps in your own evolution when you devote your self to spiritual seeking, and you can do it all the time. It is the most important thing for mankind to do right now. You must die to your mind and give birth to yourself, become reborn.
