Many people are always looking to the future with the hope that things will change for the better. This year will be different. This week will be a brand new week. Often, our concern with what will be is a way of proclaiming that despite what has been, more satisfactory events are surely on the horizon. Yet, every moment we spend thinking of what the future holds for us is a moment of right now that we’ve missed.

Knowledge represents the past.

Anything you can know has already happened. What you know is based on perceptions of the past: taught to you by others or memories from your own experiences.

Imagination represents the future.

We imagine things that could be: maybe things we want to be, maybe things that will be. They are possibilities. The future is a cloud of possibilities.

Awareness is now.

Now is neither knowledge nor imagination. Awareness is the bridge between what has been and what will be.

There is no past. There are only memories.
There is no future. There are only expectations.
The only true moment of existence is Now.
Realize that your memories are influenced by both the Now and your expectations.
Realize that your expectations are influenced by both the Now and your memories.
Realize that the Now is influenced by both your memories and your expectations.
The Now is all existence. This encompasses all memories and all expectations.
Time is not a constant. Existence is not a constant.
The meaning and properties of Time are relative to the properties of the Existence it measures.
Existence cannot be wasted. It is infinite.
Time cannot be wasted. It is infinite.
