To me it doesn’t matter if we confuse the present to the now
even though there is a difference, you can’t have the now in time without a
present moment. What most of us are
doing is focussing on the future and even the past, disregarding the present
moment altogether when it’s the present moment that defines our past and future.
When we say the present moment defines
our future, this isn’t saying the future is predestined by the present, the
present moment will influence the future but it won’t make it predestined. Yes we
all individually and collectively have a path to follow but it’s not
predestined, we don’t have to destroy or harm ourselves for starters, certainly
not any more.
The present doesn’t actually bring on timelessness as I
described in an illustration in my last post however, you can’t have the now,
which is of true timelessness, without the present in time, this is why I illustrated
this as below in my last post.
The present = timelessness + God’s consciousness (pure
consciousness)
It’s actually more like this: The now = timelessness + God’s
consciousness (pure consciousness)
The present moment leads to timeliness and this God’s
consciousness but the present is also representative of the past and the future
within time, the present is actually quite more important to us than the past
or future or even the now in two ways.
The present moment = now + timelessness + God’s
consciousness (pure consciousness)
But the present moment also = time +past + future
Focusing on the now, over and above the present moment, takes
us to God’s consciousness but we are missing something here, were does time fit
in here? It doesn’t, even though we are
still in time!! We must also remember time is also of this God’s consciousness;
this is why when we are in timeliness we have a feeling to again be in time and
visa-versa. It’s all of this God’s
consciousness, it’s just one is of time and the other timelessness, one is of ignorance
the other awareness. Without the ego does it matter if we live in ignorance? No, so what part of us doesn’t want to live in
ignorance? The ego of course!!
Pure consciousness is in relation to God’s consciousness, an
un-fragmented consciousness of timelessness and awareness, and fragmented consciousness
relates to realities of time and ignorance.
Pure consciousness = timelessness + oneness + non-duality +
awareness
Fragmented consciousness = time + individuality + duality +
ignorance
It matters not if it’s fragmented or un-fragmented consciousness,
it’s still God’s consciousness however, fragmented consciousness can become quite
destructive mainly because of it’s ignorance for only in ignorance can we be destructive.
This sort of doesn’t make sense, we are more aware as a collective than ever
but we are more destructive as ever.
It all comes down to how we are becoming aware, some people become
aware through ego tendencies, this is obviously quite destructive, other people become aware through the now
disregarding the present moment in time. How could disregarding the present moment be destructive?
If you think on this, we are ignoring
the present for the now and what does ignoring the present represent? Ignorance
and what is the only way we can be destructive? Through ignorance of course and this ignorance
is quite destructive to anything of time.
Actually the present moment represents time and timelessness
simultaneously; this isn’t the case if we only focus on the past and future as
many of us are doing and it’s not the case if we only focus on the now. This is why I illustrated in my last post as
below.
The present = timelessness + God’s consciousness (pure
consciousness)
Past and future = time + man’s consciousness
If I illustrated that the present moment is representative
of both time and timelessness, I would have confused a lot of people in that particular
post. If we were more collectively aware
the below illustrations would be more correct.
Present moment = timelessness + now + God’s consciousness
(pure consciousness) + oneness + non-duality + awareness
Present moment = time +past and future + man’s consciousness
+individuality + duality + ignorance + ego
What the present moment does, if we are aware, is collates
both time and timelessness into a cohesive collective instead of a fragmented
collective or a collective without time.
In this we can use the awareness of timelessness to pacify the
destructive tendencies of time and it’s ignorance. It’s all God’s consciousness,
we should not ignore one over and above the other for only in ignorance can we
destroy.
