Here and now are very interesting
Because the now
Partakes both of time
And eternity
It exists at the intersection of the two
And the here
Partakes of the...
Both space and the infinite
Let's start with time
From a conventional point of view
On the line of time
There is an experience
That we refer to as now
It is the moment now
So from the point of view of time
The now is a moment
But in our experience
The now is not a moment
For instance
How many nows have passed
Since you and I been having a conversation?
How many nows have passed in your life?
It's always now
We never leave the now
We've never even left the now
And visited the past or the future
No one's ever experienced
The past or the future
So in our actual experience
The now is not a moment
That is sandwiched between
The two vast spaces
Of the past and the future
The now is the ever-present
Not the...
Time is not everlasting
The now is the ever-present
So from this point of view
The now is written with a capital N
The Now is eternity
From the point of view of time
The Now is a moment
So the Now is the place
Where time and eternity intersect
And that is why
In the spiritual traditions
The Now
Is a portal
Through which we pass
Out of time
Into eternity
Out of time
Into eternity
Into the infinite
The Now Is a portal
Through which we pass out of time
Into eternity
Into the infinite
Now
Just do exactly the same exercise with space
It's more difficult with space
First of all recognize that
The only experience you have ever had
Is here
Just as we never
Experience the past or the future
We can think about the past or the future
But we only do so now
So ask yourself the question
The place that you call over there
Have you ever been there?
If I were to ask you now
Stand up and go over there
Would it always be here?
Would your experience always be here?
Or would you leave the here
Has anybody ever left the experience
We called here
And visited the place we call there?
Isn't the experience of here
Always the same experience
In other words
Here is not a place in space
Just as now is not a moment in time
Here is the infinite
Just as the Now is the eternal
The here is not a place in space
All space takes place here
Just as now is the intersection
Of time and eternity
So here
Is the placeless place
This point in space
Where we seem to be located
Intersects with the infinite
Out of time
Into eternity
Out of time
Into eternity
Into the infinite
The Now Is a portal
Through which we pass out of time
Into eternity
Into the infinite
In which we pass
Out of space
Into the infinite
We don't even pass out of it
The place we call here
Is the infinite
It just appears as space
To our limited perceiving faculties
We don't exist in time...
And we are not in time and space now
This is eternity
This is the infinite
The place at which we eternally are
Is the infinite
The only place where anything ever is
It's not a place in space
It's not a moment in time
Time and space are just
How the one eternal
Infinite reality
To our impoverished perceiving faculties...
Remember William Blake
Life's dim windows of the soul
Distort the heavens from pole to pole
And cause us to believe a lie
When we see with
Not through the eye
Life's dim windows of the soul
Distort the heavens from pole to pole
And cause us to believe a lie
When we see with
Not through the eye
Out of time
Into eternity
Out of time
Into eternity
Into the infinite
The Now
Is a portal
Through which we pass out of time
Into eternity
Into the infinite
Into the infinite
Into the infinite
