Past, present and future
Are divisions, not of time
But of the mind.
There is only one kind of time ---
Now,
Undivided and eternal.
The past exists only in mind's memories;
The future exists only in mind's imaginings.
Here and now,
Mind cannot be.
When we drop the past,
The future takes care of itself,
For the future is nothing but a modified form
Of what we judge and fantasize our past to have been.
When we drop into the present, even for a moment
We break the nexus between past and future.
We are freed of guilts and regrets (past)
And anxieties and worries (future).
It is hard work commuting between the past (dead)
And the future (unborn) ---
Digging up old graves, and deep holes for new ones
Is hard yakka.
Take a break;
Slip into Now.
Existence knows only one place and time -- Here/Now.
Even when we're distractedly off in the past or future,
We're doing it Here and Now;
Real, actual Life and Bliss are passing us by
While we stare at phantoms.
Here/now there is no suffering.
In order to suffer, we need our mind,
And mind cannot be present.
Herenow is bliss -- the only bliss.
Herenow is power -- the only place of power.
Herenow is the connecting point with all-that-is,
Which is Godliness.
Where does God live?
Here/Now.
Thy will be done
Over all the earth
As it is in Here/Now.
