Now
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.
Tenses of Being
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.
Time
“Time is on our side. Time is against us. I’m just killing time.”
- Time is a measurement of Existence.
- 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.
The Last Day
Sometimes I wonder what my very last day on Earth will be like. Will I wake up that morning, happy? Will I be married again and will my wife be there next to me?What will I have for breakfast? What news stories will be in the morning paper? Will my daughter be grown or will she be getting ready for school?
