Period.<\/p>\n<p>All &#8220;me&#8217;s&#8221; hope that tomorrow will be better. We hope to GET something special in the future. That could be success, fame, money, enlightenment, happiness, more respect, a new friendship or whatever. But, does tomorrow exist anywhere else but in our mind?<\/p>\n<p>What if there is only All-Of-This\u00a0(the whole boundless universe actually) and it is always NOW only?\u00a0One could also say: &#8220;everything happens in timelessness&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It is not hard to see that psychological time is imagined. We just don&#8217;t seem to really accept it! Our mind constantly thinks about the past or about the future. The &#8220;this, now&#8221;\u00a0 seems to be so plain normal, so boring or unacceptable that the &#8220;me&#8221; cares little for it. Typically we overlook it, almost constantly.<\/p>\n<p>But what when you realize that &#8220;<strong>tomorrow<\/strong>&#8221; is never ever anything more than a thought or a concept in your mind? What if you truly deeply feel and accept that all there IS, all of Existence, is NOW?<\/p>\n<p>Anything that ever happens, is always happening now, isn&#8217;t it? So if nothing ever happens or exists except NOW, then what?<\/p>\n<p>Somehow the &#8220;me&#8221; can&#8217;t live there, it can&#8217;t accept it. The &#8220;me&#8221; can only exist if there is time, if the past matters and when there is a future that will bring something new, or better or more satisfying. Right?<\/p>\n<p>But what if all that exists, is always now only? Stay with that simple question and see how it transforms &#8220;you&#8221;!! The mystery of existence can become apparent through such questioning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: what happens for &#8220;you&#8221;, if you stay with this question? Let us know.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>PS: yes, it is understood that time is a practical tool or concept when planning on catching a train, being on time for appointments, etc. But that&#8217;s truly not the point here.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are convinced somehow that there is a &#8220;me&#8221; who has a past and who is moving towards a future.
