'Now' Articles
The internal now is different from the external now. The external now is eternally changing, and the external now is forever a mystery, and the external now is a lie. Reality is a flow, and it isn’t external in. The path of the external in is the path of death. You are now, and all that you feel, all that you see, all that you think, comes from you. When you live in the internal now thought changes. It doesn’t stop, but you see it for what it is.
“For true success ask yourself these four questions: Why? Why not? Why not me? Why not now?” James Allen (New Zealander Statesman. Minister of defense (1912-20), 1855-1942)
“How soon ‘not now’ becomes ‘never’.” Martin Luther (German Priest and Scholar, 1483-1546)
“If not me, who? And if not now, when?” Mikhail Gorbachev (Russian President of the Soviet Union (1985-91), b.1931)
External Now
I was asked to share my views of the “now“. The external now is eternally changing, and the external now is forever a mystery, and the external now is a lie. In the external now everything shifts, like shadows near a busy street at night. Much of what is said about the now is said in the spirit of encouraging letting go, but in anyone’s experience does that give you anything in return? People do it mainly to get rid of frustration. Indeed, but do they experience lasting relief? Now arguably it doesn’t need to give them anything, but does… Seek More
Focus on Internal Now
The internal now is different from the external now. We do experience the internal now from time to time. As children we either lived in it, or could have. For the child there is an “I”, but I can be anything. They at first play with I until they are made to hurt regarding I. They are told what they are, because it’s inconvenient for them to keep playing with I, and a child’s concern is with now. What can I be now? What can I do now? They discover many things until they are told it’s false. Is this… Seek More
Internal Now Knows
Sex is a way of being in the now? Well, it can be yes, but it’s usually not, because people focus on external sex and seek a disconnecting catharsis. The need for orgasm is external? The “need” is yes. The “need” is a judgment. Otherwise orgasm is a part of the flow, and would be much more powerful and satisfying if people weren’t busy seeking it. Really, people have to be told by sex therapists to relax and not focus on it. Isn’t this insane? Hence tantric sex focuses on no orgasm and deeper connection? Internal sex in a sense?… Seek More
Deeper Now
I’m discussing the “now”, or my view of it such as it is. I don’t agree fully with much of the material that’s popular on the subject of the now, but I do believe it’s a valuable understanding. Where I don’t agree is that it’s my opinion that many of the popular spiritual beliefs seem to embrace what is a form of nihilism. They look at the external now, and its mutability, and declare that they have seen the now, and that the internal now is the same as the external. As mutable, and to be ignored or dismissed as unreal,… Seek More
Be Here
Sin was originally a Greek term measuring the deviation of an arrow from a target, and it didn’t originally have other meaning. Sin was simply error, but error arises from the realm of the mortal. From the realm of the external and transitory now. In the event that was your advent there was no error, and could be none, and it is timeless. On a certain level there are no errors, the wizard is impeccable. Yes, but we are asked questions, and in current spiritual circles it’s seen as virtuous to say “I don’t know“. To claim an agnostic sense is… Seek More
