The Imperative of Now

[William Vollrath]

One wonders if our world might be a better place if many more people considered the likelihood that, at least on this plane, there is no functional interaction with yesterday and tommorow. Our focus and energy is best directed to the needs and opportunities within the current moment...

[William Vollrath]

Thanks Martin. I agree, a bit of buddhic projection may be wise...

[Nabil Naser]

Yes of course. There is only the present moment. This moment contains all things including The Creator.
This means that all the past is condensed into the present moment. It also means that possible futures must originate from the present moment.
The moment contains all Potential.

No, one can have visions of future events in the present, and I suppose also visions of past events. Although, I have not sought visions of the past...

[Nabil Naser]

Energy equals mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light.
This is according to Einstein.
But what is mass?
According to science it is matter?
What is matter?

Does the body slow down the mind?
It sure appears that way.
If that is the case, neutral energy theory fits comfortably with reality.

Thought and emotions move at a speed faster than the speed of light. But within physical reality they combine with gravity to create matter or a perception of matter. Upon death, those emotions and thoughts that are not related to the human physical existence separate from matter, and move at speeds faster than the speed of light.

One may be surprised at what is left

What is left is God of course

[Scott Sands]

what do you mean by "functional interaction"?

[William Vollrath]

Yesterday and tomorrow are shadows. They lack a concrete reality that we can interact with in this moment in a clear manner...

[Scott Sands]

I don't believe we are always in the Now because we DO shadow walk into the past and future constantly. But the Now is so important because that's where choices are made. Rarely do I regret, because even if I think differently Now, at the point of my questionable descision, it seemed right.

Being in the Now, I agree, is very important, but hard to maintain. And as much as I wouldn't want to place to much importance on the past and future, neither do I want to lower their importance. We ARE our past. We are a collection of choices.
