In the Stream of Timelessness

God said:

What does it mean to live in the moment?

It means you are where you are and not off somewhere else. You are not a minute ahead nor are you a minute behind. You are not past-oriented nor are you future-oriented. You are not thinking of something else. You are where you are.

If you are drinking a cup of coffee, you savor the coffee. You savor the people you notice in the restaurant and you savor the people walking past the restaurant. You are not cogitating past, present or future. You are in the present. In a sense, beloveds, you are the present. This is more than being in the present.

We can say that nothing exists but the present. You don’t think of a Universe. You have become the Universe. We can say that you don’t think about Infinity because you are Infinity. You are in the stream of timelessness. This is what this moment is. You are where you are, and you aren’t where you are not.

You are in certain surroundings, yet there isn’t static. There is no interference with what is now.

It is focus though I do not say that you are focused. This is a natural act. There is no effort. There is intention, yes, perhaps.

It is even away from the moment if you think you must focus. Now is focus without thinking about it. This is being where you are without thinking about it. You are Being.

This is being happy, for what is there to be unhappy about when you are alive and right where you are? Remember you are in Infinity whatever the shape it presents itself in.

Unhappiness comes from the concerns of the past, and unhappiness comes from fear of what could go wrong in the future. In the present, there is no right or wrong. There simply is Is-ness. You are Being. You are the sun shining. No effort for the sun. The sun simply shines, and you are simply right here with Me in the Sun and, yes, every ray of it. You are where you are, and you are experiencing rays of the Consciousness of the Sun. It isn’t exactly that you experience it, for you ARE it. You are the Sun. You always have been, yet you have been distracted from Who you are by the sounds and sights you see here and there the same way a baby examines a toy rattle.

We can consider yourself and consider Me as the One Sun that shines in the sky. I never leave the Sun. On the surface, you trot around here and there in your mind. Your mind is a traveler that looks out all the windows of the Sun, and you actually believe that you are outside the Sun. Even so, you never leave the Sun. You are the Shining Sun that you wonder at.

You stare into a ruby without awareness that you are the ruby that you see. You look through the ruby and yet do not see the ruby as it is -- a reflection of you and your light. You do not recognize that you are the Whole Wide Universe and all that is beyond and what you see, you are seeing through yourself.

We might say that this moment right in front of you is like a mantra. You are with it, and then you forget it. When you realize you have forgotten this moment, having drifted off somewhere, you come back to it. When your mind strays from the Sun that you are, I invite you to come back to your awareness of the True Nature of Life where you permanently abide with Me. In the moment, now, right where you happen to be, you dwell in Eternity.
