Questioning the Reality of Time. (3 min 54 sec)

It seeks to make sense of the world by creating a linear narrative. However, when we examine this construct more closely, we begin to see its illusory nature.

The past is already gone. It exists only as images in our minds. We believe the past was real, but we have no tangible proof of its existence. Similarly, the future is the "not yet," a projection of our minds based on our hopes, fears, or expectations. But like the past, the future is nothing, as it has not yet occurred.

The present is where reality exists. It is the only moment that is real, and it is where love and God reside. However, our perception of the present is distorted by our belief that it is somehow related to time. We see the present as a fleeting moment, sandwiched between the past and the future, constantly slipping away from us.

But in truth, the present is not a slice of time at all. It is the eternal now, the timeless reality that underlies all of existence. The present moment is always here, always available to us, regardless of what we are thinking or feeling. Even when our minds are preoccupied with thoughts of the past or future, we are still experiencing those thoughts in the present moment.

This realization is difficult for the mind to grasp, as it challenges our deeply ingrained belief in the reality of time. We are so accustomed to thinking of the present as a division between the past and future, that we fail to see the truth: the present is not a division at all, but rather the very ground of being itself.

Time is a tool of the ego, a way of keeping us focused on the illusions of separation and lack. By constantly dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, we miss the opportunity to experience the love and peace that is always available to us in the present moment.

The paradox of time, then, is that it both exists and does not exist. On the level of form, time appears to be real, with its division into past, present, and future. But on the level of truth, time is an illusion, a veil that obscures the eternal reality of the present moment.

As we begin to awaken to this truth, we start to see the world differently. We become less attached to the stories of the past and less anxious about the uncertainties of the future. We learn to rest more fully in the present moment, trusting in the inherent goodness and love that are always available to us.

This shift in perception is not easy, as it requires a willingness to let go of our deeply held beliefs about the nature of reality. But as we practice living more fully in the present moment, we begin to experience a sense of peace and freedom that comes from aligning ourselves with the truth of our being.

In the end, the paradox of time invites us to question our assumptions about the world and our place in it. It challenges us to look beyond the illusions of separation and lack, and to discover the eternal presence of love that is always with us. When we embrace the present moment and let go of our attachment to the past and future, we open ourselves up to the possibility of true healing.
