The present moment does not exist in the same way the past or future does. The past does not exist without the future, the future does not exist without the past. We know the one because of the other. But the present, it operates on no polarity, no distinction. In fact, the present unites the past and future into one harmonious thread, a singular moment of eternity. We are actively living out eternity. It is all right here and now. But the present moment does not slip away into the past. The present extends into the past and into the future simultaneously. And when one follows those two illusions back to their ends, we find that they both merge into one until there is no distinction between them. We are destined to live eternally, here and now. We will change and evolve, appearances will change, yet eternity will remain. We have decorated eternity so well we forget it’s underlying nature, we forget our underlying nature. What a beautiful, incredible experience. I only wonder what the rest of the universe is like. I wonder if it is all like this: to live on eternally, living through change to the point that all appearances become completely unrecognizable to what was known before, including our very own selves, that we forget all the universe is one, except for brief glimpses of clarity such as these.
