The Journey of Life should be all about Now - not yesterday, today or tomorrow but that very immediate and fast fleeting point called a nanosecond; it is that nanosecond which brings us into death and which will take us back into life and the only real life is the one which occurs in that movement of a nanosecond which flares through our consciousness and then disappears to become another bead in the necklace of time.

The flashing pinpoint of a nanosecond creates the moments which are the bedrock of our perceived idea of time. That flash of a nanosecond is all that we have and will ever have, for all that lies outside of that immediate pulse of a nanosecond movement are dead zones. We are only alive within that one nanosecond movement of "time", our very existence — our very life — rests on that immediate pulsating movement and it is also this unseen and unfelt fleeting pulsation which gives us the potential for temporarily escaping from the law-of-time.

There is only one moment which matters and it is that immediate nanosecond movement which gives an opening to NOW. This NOW however, stands apart from the nanosecond and from any time frame. The Now stands alone for it belongs neither to time nor to the timeless. The Now itself is not the realm of Nowness, but rather it is a doorway behind the nanosecond pulse, which takes us into the realm of Nowness where exist various realms of realities. The opposite side of the Now doorway takes us into our earth world containing death and time.

Living in the NOW, even if only for a short duration, takes a leap of faith, for we will be in a let-go of all that we consider secure, safe and normal but if we want to experience our stay in Nowness to the fullest, we must do so without reservation or fear.

Each pulsation of the nanosecond movement which passes by — actually it does not pass by it is always in the same place, it just seems to pass by because of our idea of time — is dead and gone, for it has receded into the past of yesterday. The tomorrow which is yet to come and for which we wait and plan for, is only a possibility. There is no assurance for any of us that we will experience a next moment, though we all take it for granted that we will.

We humans need to feel and to believe that there is a past, a today and a future. We need the memories of yesterday, the hopes of tomorrow and the challenges of a today and this is possible only because our collective concept of time rests on a linear, horizontal plane; therefore, our awareness can move to the left which is yesterday, to the right which is tomorrow and to be suspended between the two, when in today.

Today is also an illusion, for we can only say that we have today, when it has already culminated into a yesterday, for each nanosecond movement which has slipped to the left of NOW is already the past of a today. The NOW moment exists only in each immediate nanosecond of our today, yet we constantly waste and squander the precious pearls of time which are produced by the nanosecond moment, by chasing a non-existent tomorrow which we can actually never possess.

We have a need to believe in the past of a yesterday, for how could we live with just a blank void behind our today? We then also create a mental solidity for yesterday by using it as a storage area for our memories; memories which can never come back to life again, for they are the husks shed by our days lived and the ashes of all the by-gone events of our moments. Our memories have forever slipped out of the beads of time and are now only shadows of our remembrances — echoes belonging to another time and another place. We all like to make occasional visits to these fields of sunshine and shadows where we can see the patterns of the footprints we have left behind.

* * * * * * * * *
The future is the hope and desire of tomorrow and since tomorrow does not exist until we are already in today, we can never really be in the future, just as we can never be in the past. Tomorrow is only a possibility, a place created so that we have somewhere to place our hopes and desires and where they can wait for us until we are ready to realize them in our today. We humans have a need to remain rooted to a past and connected to a tomorrow, for we are never satisfied to be only at home in today.

This is the concept of time which has been created by our collective human mind and therefore we cannot see beyond this dream world in which we temporarily exist. Time, duality and the law-of-karma is what supports this illusionary mind-produced earth journey with all its supposed solid forms of matter and these also include our physical body and our mind. This seeming solidity brings forms, order and a feeling of permanency to this chimera which we call our earthly world.

Most of humanity which functions within the lower self consciousness could never understand the dream world within which we have our existence, nor would they wish to know the truth about the unreality of time and the dream which we call our earthly life. Very few would be able to cope with the explanation as to why yesterday is dead and gone — that tomorrow is only a possibility — that today does not exist until it has metamorphosed from yesterday and that this today provides the potential for a tomorrow.

It's perfectly alright that those who feel no desire for further growth at this stage of their life, want only to remain within their lower self consciousness state. To realize the truth of the illusion of time is only of importance to those who yearn to free themselves from the confines of their lower self consciousness and this hunger for growth will persist until they do move forward on their evolutionary journey. We are always precisely where we are meant to be

So, if we have seen a glimmer of truth in what has so far has been presented, then we would have to acknowledge that the facts of a yesterday, today and tomorrow are only a delusive will o' the wisp, and that we can never say that we are actually in any fixed given space of time — as the moments of time are all part of one continuous speeding current, a flow which never lingers in one moment long enough where we could say that we are in a specific spot at any particular time.

* * * * * * * * *
Now let us discuss what happens to our lower self consciousness
when we do escape momentarily from time
and how it changes our perception of time.
When we are temporarily traveling out of time, our lower self consciousness will either recede into the background or else be totally annihilated. If it's been annihilated, then when we return to our normal state of consciousness we will not remember much of what had occurred while in another realm, or we might not even remember having gone into another state of consciousness at all.

However, if we do retain our lower self conscious awareness, which will be in a passive and watching state and, at the same time remain aware that we are also experiencing and having our Being within a super-consciousness state, then when that symbiotic melting has occurred, we will remember our sojourn within a higher realm. We will remember because our lower self consciousness, even though it had been relegated to the background, still retained a passive awareness of all that occurred while there and so will be able to retain the experience and bring it back down within the lower self conscious life. Yet, any escape into a super-consciousness realm is only a temporary opening which reveals and gives a taste of a higher reality.

Our stay there can only be of short duration, as our matter-bound physical body cannot tolerate for too long the finer, more subtle and more intense vibrations of which super-conscious realms are composed. No matter where our lower self consciousness may roam, as long as we remain tied to a physical body we will remain a captive to time and matter.

During our stay in a super-conscious realm — if we have retained our lower self consciousness — we come to realize that time is alterable, that it is not fixed and that the speed of time is a subjective experience. We will also come to understand that our earth time which appears so real, is however only an illusion created by Man's collective consciousness, as is even that unnoticed and unfelt nanosecond. It is only when we slip between the gaps created by the moments of the beads of time and touch that pulsating nanosecond, that there occurs the possibility to move through the doorway into NOW.

Once we have touched and fused with NOW, we will have escaped time and entered the realm of higher realities. We will now have left behind the awareness and sensations of our physical body, yet, since we are still bound to it, we are only able to stay out of time for a short period.

While within transcendent realms, where time, space and matter does not exist, we will become aware that we are immortal Beings. While there, we can live an entire altered reality lifetime, within just a few seconds or minutes of earth time and after we have returned to time, we will be left with the realization that while we were living within that altered reality, it was markedly more real, more concrete, than the lower self consciousness reality we experience and exist in on earth.

However, even that one immediate pulsating nanosecond movement upon which rests our earthly existence, is an evolutionary dead zone for us until we become consciously aware that there is more to us than just our lower self. To be aware of our own Beingness means that we have to be become aware of our own consciousness at work and in order to do this, we must be able to be both the Watcher and the watched at the same time.

It is only then that we are truly alive in the fullest sense and it is only then, that we are able to live in full awareness of the entirety of our Beingness. All this is possible to achieve and can only be achieved while on the illusory, firm footing on the soil of Mother Earth.

Once we are able to attain to that more aware, focused and holistic consciousness of our Higher Self, when we have achieved that double awareness of the Watcher and the watched; it then becomes possible to enter the Divine Flow right here, within the midst of our normal daily life.

* * * * * * * * *
Entering the Divine Flow is a spontaneous happening and usually occurs when we are in a state of mindlessness, that means no roof brain chatter — the mind is stilled. It is a time when we are totally at ease and in complete harmony with whatever we are doing and often this is also overlaid with a feeling of complete satisfaction. It is normally during such a state that you will suddenly become alert to the fact that the atmosphere around you has changed, that a stillness has enveloped you and this at first will stop you dead in your tracks.

When you are within the Divine Flow, you still remain fully aware within your lower self consciousness; you will suddenly realize, and even physically feel, that you have been enveloped in a mantle of serenity and peace, and overlaying all is a gentle caress of sweetness and joy. It's like that occasional happiness feeling one gets "that all is right with the world", but this enveloping caress is all encompassing and it filters through to the very cells of your body. Your cells literally hum with wholeness and well being.

While you are flowing within the Divine Flow, you feel that you're in touch with your entire Beingness, in fact, you are now that Beingness — you feel whole and centered. You are no longer consciously aware of the external movement of the moments of time, for all those ticking moments have coalesced together and become a continuous and uninterrupted flow of Nowness. The Divine Flow is a unity of timelessness and time interwoven; it is a reality which borders both the world of matter and the transcendent realms. It is the last outpost for physical man as we know him.

When within the Divine Flow, we have our existence within two consciousnesses; two differing vibratory realms which have fused together. You are participating within two different movements of "reality" at once. The Divine Flow carries you along effortlessly: the flow is felt both as an internal and an external current and it feels as if you are inside of it. You become aware of the fact that the flow of the current does not move along a linear horizontal line as does external time and which is felt as something that is happening apart and outside of you. In contrast, the current is felt as an all-pervading, living presence which surrounds you from the inside out.

You remain aware of your physical body and that your old external world is continuing on as usual. You are aware that there is a complete silence in your head, no thoughts are happening, they have been stilled. Whatever you know comes through an immediate knowing and not from thoughts. You also become aware that whatever you find yourself doing, you do it effortlessly and with smooth bodily movements. Your body feels light, almost weightless and you have not a care in the world; peacefulness and gentle joyfulness reign within your Being.

There is also present a feeling that you have become insulated and are being shielded from whatever external events are occurring, not only bodily but also emotionally. There also comes the realization that you would calmly and fearlessly accept any calamity which might occur, even if that might be your own impending death; for external events have lost their impact, their importance — for now you observe all external events from an objective position. You now find yourself at the boundary of Cosmic Consciousness.

* * * * * * * * *
We will now examine what keeps us asleep and unaware of our Higher Self and the who, why and what of the entirety of our Beingness. What it is that helps to foster the illusion that time is real and fixed and that the only reality is the one which we experience on earth. Why is it that we have so little control over our life and why is it that we so often go in the opposite direction of where we had intended to go or had intended to do?

For almost the entire span of our existence on earth, we move about in a cataleptic state, sound asleep to who and what we really are. We exist as a mechanical personality, a personality which is composed of bundles of habits and automatic reflexes and which lives a robotic life of unawareness in a deep somnambulistic state. We all have several self created robots within us which are a main obstacle towards our awakening and until we learn to recognize them, we will remain unaware of how and when they control us.

Until we awake to our self, we will remain unaware that we are a many layered Being, still in transition and with a tremendous capacity for evolutionary growth. The normal, lower self consciousness, within which most of us exist, keeps us quite unaware that beyond our robotic state there exists within our Being not only a lower self — of which the ego is a part — but that we also have a Higher Self within the wholeness of our Beingness.

Most of us are in complete ignorance about our potential to transmute into a new species of Man, one who lives within the realm of Cosmic Consciousness but before we can begin to move forward on our journey to eventually reach that state, we must become aware of our robotic sleep. We do that by attaining to ever more awareness about who we really are by digging deep down into the morass of all the nooks and crannies of our self. We must be willing to take a good look around and then to change what is keeping us tied to our lower self consciousness. Only through shocks, and there will be many of them, can new spaces appear from which change can occur. There is one more way to awaken but that way is rare; it is by the sudden descent of Grace.

The other problem we must deal with and overcome is our ego, which is a part of our sleeping state; an ego which always thinks itself to be awake, in control and in the know of everything. Most of us are controlled to varying degrees by our egos and many are totally under its control. In order to awaken, our ego must be brought to heel and subjugated to our will; the ego cannot be eliminated for it is needed, but it must be trained to obey and not to lead.

This is not an easy task, for the ego will fight to retain its domination of it's human host. The ego will do everything possible: lie, cheat, steal, murder or cast illusions into the mind of its human in order to stay in control. The ego knows that it cannot exist beyond the confines of the lower self consciousness, for it is an integral part of that consciousness; it was given birth there and it will meet its death there.

To learn how to awaken to our self is a long process but until we do, we will be unable to escape from being just machine, a slave to our ego and the robots within, and as such, we will never be able to experience that immediate nanosecond movement upon which rests all our evolutionary potentials and our immortality. Both the robot and the ego must be recognized and ferreted out. The ego must become a servant to its human master and our robots eliminated before we can progress any further on our evolutionary journey.

* * * * * * * * *
We can prove that time does not exist by proving that yesterday, today and tomorrow do not really exist. If we break down the movements of yesterday, today and tomorrow, we will always come back to only one conclusion: that these seeming separate movements of time are really only one movement. These three seeming movements of yesterday, today and tomorrow always emanate out of one and the same movement and that is the flash created by the nanosecond. These three seeming separate movements of time always arise and then culminate back into that one original flash. It is through this flashing atom that our dream world of time and duality is produced. It is only that atomic nanosecond flash which contains Life; it is the only genuine reality that penetrates this dreamed world, all else is only the illusory result of our collective human mind.

* * * * * * * * *

Ask yourself where tomorrow comes from and you have to conclude that it comes out of the movement of today.

Ask yourself where today comes from and you have to conclude that it comes out of the movement which was yesterday.

Ask yourself from where these movements originated and you have to conclude that all these seemingly many movements are really only one movement, and that movement is the flash of the nanosecond; which is the one and only original movement that has Reality — It is the Eternal Movement. Some call this movement the Divine Consciousness, The Creator, Allah and some call it God.

* * * * * * * * *
Time begins for us when we are met by that first nanosecond movement as we come through the gateway of NOW from beyond time and space. It is time which brings us into death and it is death which takes us out of time. It is death which shepherds our return through the gateway of NOW and returns us to our Eternal Life. Higher realms have no time, no movement and therefore they are static, which does not allow for change. This is why we come to earth; for existence here gives us the opportunity to experience life through the senses of a physical body and through new lessons learned we will continue to advance on our evolutionary journey.

This is why this illusionary dream world is of immense importance for humanity and for all life found on earth. Just because it is an illusion does not take away from its importance and never should we reject or denigrate our existence here in any way. It is a gift given to us and we must take the opportunity to "live" our temporary stay here to the fullest.
