The eternal power of now * 1
    #29661693 -

The eternal presence of moment



Ever in motion is the future


Did you forget the now

Eternal presence of now is real

Memories knowledge and wisdom are what we carry.

Spiritual mental physical are all happening now

All Perceptions are real

On the cosmic level

all moments flow into One

On human level

NOW is a split second

moving forward

On cosmic level

the totality of all time

is NOW.

Yes, and absolutely so.

So much so, I assert that not only are past and future conceptual abstractions - but your consciousness itself precludes those concepts entirely.

When is consciousness?

NOW.

You are always NOW.

The immoveable, inexorable constant through which anything observed has any relevance, meaning, or efficacy whatsoever.

If there is an ever present moment, and all the universe is in accordance with this present. How in the world does/can our mind create and then latch on to what isn't, such as the past and future?

Because the primary function of your consciousness (cognition) is conceptualization.

We conceptualize things like up, down, past, future, blue, yellow, names, etc. because they are useful to us...but they're ultimately just abstracts, not actuals.

They're a function of your consciousness, not the other way around.

Your ability to conceptualize the past and future is a function of your consciousness.

Again, when is consciousness?

NOW!

Exactly as you correctly assert in your opening post.

This is essentially it regarding dream-state vs waking state.

In your dreams at night, YOU are the container as well as all it contains; all the people, places, dramas, etc. - are happening WITHIN your consciousness/SELF.

You ARE the projector, as well as all it projects.

Extrapolate this to "waking" "reality".

distracting changes, which keep us alive, trigger responses from memory.
whatever we were doing 'in the moment' is wrapped in the past memory, and replaced by the next thing that seems significant.
this process is equally 'eternal' as the 'now'
