Why does mankind avoid the “now”?
Many seek to escape their “is-ness” by immersing themselves
in a fascination with past lives and past civilizations.
Many seek to escape into a future of speculation
and anticipation of a ‘salvation’ to come.
But JOY…. the rapture of BEING or ….the presence of GOD does not lie in some future.
Others seek escape from what they describe as an illusionary terrestrial reality to take up residence in what they will find to be ….…an equally illusionary astral reality.
All the while they struggle so, they proclaim that which they fail to grasp:
there is no past, no future, no time, no place. There is only the now.
True JOY, true BEING is immediate, is infinite, is here, is there, is within and is without.
Be still and hear IT.
Be alert and see IT. Feel IT.
Be still and know IT. Wonder at IT.
Where is JOY to be found? In the NOW.
In the “isness” of ALL.
In the glory of the stars.
In the elegant structure of the onion.
In the laugh of any child,
the embrace of another
the surge of the wind.
JOY may be found in the sea of life and love …….. surrounding all of mankind.
Embrace the moment totally – go into the quiet place. ALL awaits.
