infinite awareness

Time, clocks and calendars are all man made inventions

They are simply used to keep track of the earth moving around the Sun. Tapping into infinite consciousness is about losing track of time completely, because once you realize there is no time you can enter into this very moment and accept it as it is.

Don’t be a slave to time by way of future events that you have planned for yourself. It is easy to live our lives as a constant stream of meetings, deadlines, events, appointments at some pre-arranged time in the future. For a lot of people, life is rarely about the very moment they are experiencing but rather about what is going to happen, or will happen in the future. The very moment they are experiencing is merely a means to some end point in the future.

It is important to focus your attention on the very moment that you experience life, because life can never be lived at any other time than the one you are presently experiencing. To be fully aware and engaged in life is to be fully accepting of your presence in this very moment.

“Future and past exist only in the mind.”

To be fully awake is to understand that time really is an illusion. So your watch says 1.45, what does that mean to you? Time is all played out in the mind, this afternoon, this evening, next week, last week, next year, so many people live their whole life planning, striving, searching, working, waiting, but for what exactly? Some date in the future when their whole life we come together and everything will be OK.

Planning for the future is a good thing to do as is setting goals, but when life is constantly and totally lived in the mind at the expense of this very moment, then something needs to change. It is easy to get carried away with the future sometimes, likewise it is easy to always think about the past, but what is the point to this?

“Life only exists here and now and it will never be anywhere else, the future and past are mind based perceptions which should be dropped if you want get closer to your true nature.”

Of course it can be hard to drop the illusion of time when we have to be somewhere or get up at 7.00 in the morning and go to work, or meet a friend at a specific time at the weekend, but as you go through your day to day life remind yourself that this very moment is all there will ever be.

When you know that this moment is all there is, time all of a sudden kind of becomes irrelevant.
