When we were born, we emerged in the
moment. Was there a concept of future or
of the past?
Some believe that as we emerge into this physical
existence, we were quite aware of our last incarnation and our spiritual
connection, as well as the life’s purpose we just entered into. This ingrained understanding perhaps holds
true to living in the moment, as the present moment holds with it all past and
possible future potentials. It is
believed that the past, present and future are all here now. We somehow lose focus of this as we become
veiled in our earthly moment and are focused on making plans for future
potentialities.
To hold on to the eternal now, we focus on
what is happening now. The moment seems
to slow down and we have the ability to experience life’s sometimes quick
release of information and events. We
live in that moment, instead of filtering events. Living in the moment when first put into
motion can seem overwhelming for some but when this practice is habit, we can
concentrate quite naturally on each event and thought as it is processed.
The moment is not foreign to us, as a part
of us always dwells in this eternal now and is quite aware of all the subtleties
that are constantly occurring around us.
We subconsciously choose to focus on specifics and hence the passage of
time.
Is time a manmade concept? If you have a moment, review Einstein’s “Relativity
and the Space-time Continuum” theory. Versions
similar to “Cole’s versions” are available.
Our concept of the passage of time adheres
to our focus on particular events. We
filter through our life’s events as they unfolding. We concentrate on certain objectives or areas
of life that hold our attention. As a
result, we miss large portions of what takes place around us on a constant
basis.
There are instances when we focus in the
moment and time and events seem to stagnate or appear to slow down. One often experiences these time passages during
“approaching or near miss accidents” or in moments of enlightenment and pure
joy. Focusing on the “now” also clears
the mind as the mind has a tendency to wonder and absorb events and stimuli on
a constant basis. Meditation is a viable
technique to enhance the moment and still the mind, allowing the opening to
other dimensions which are not common during our everyday routine focus.
If you are so inclined, sit for five
minutes with a clock in front of you and become aware of the passage of time
and how it slows down. Close your eyes
and meditate on clearing your thoughts for five minutes and watch how time
passes.
Time is an illusion or a concept and its
passage depends greatly on the observer and their conscientious focus on that particular
moment in the time and events.
Activate your awareness of the moment by
practicing these methods. Gradually
lengthen the meditation time and pay close attention to the passage of time and
your apparent concept of time. Again to
assist, you can use a timer for this experience. Begin with small increments of time and
gradually increase the span of time. Take
note of its passage. Ten minutes one day
will pass on a completely different scale as ten minutes another day.
