Now\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
The past is a present idea<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
The present doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t slip<\/p>\n
Into the past at all<\/p>\n
It remains totally present<\/p>\n
Because there is no past<\/p>\n
There was no past<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
There is no time to waste<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
This now moment that you seek<\/p>\n
Has you in its jaws<\/p>\n
Why wait for enlightenment?<\/p>\n
Why not go off half-cocked<\/p>\n
Which is now<\/p>\n
And already out of your control<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
This is all space right here<\/p>\n
Where could you get leverage<\/p>\n
To affect this?<\/p>\n
This is all time right now<\/p>\n
When could you even attempt<\/p>\n
To change this?<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
When you comment on life<\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s already too late<\/p>\n
And also too late to withdraw<\/p>\n
The above comment<\/p>\n
And this one also<\/p>\n
And so on<\/p>\n
The present moment is not<\/p>\n
Just a moment<\/p>\n
Among other moments<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
The present moment is as subtle<\/p>\n
As an express train<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was already over<\/p>\n
Before you started<\/p>\n
That which you want to improve<\/p>\n
Is happening now<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thought does never move<\/p>\n
From the present<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
This moment is smooth<\/p>\n
And continuous<\/p>\n
And eternal<\/p>\n
The past is also now<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
To think you have to remind yourself<\/p>\n
To be in the now<\/p>\n
Is absurd<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
When observed closely<\/p>\n
Nothing lingers at allIn the present moment<\/p>\n
No time exists<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
The absolute power of this now<\/p>\n
Is completely overlooked<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s too late to do anything<\/p>\n
About now<\/p>\n
There is no cause and effect<\/p>\n
Because this is it<\/p>\n
There is nothing else to cause this<\/p>\n
And nothing else for this to affect<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Truth is before you think about it<\/p>\n
Behind this present clear moment<\/p>\n
Is not even a trail of ashesEverything changes<\/p>\n
Except now<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
The present isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t an instant<\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s everything<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
The result of change is always nowAny attempt to<\/p>\n
Change what occurs<\/p>\n
Is what occurs<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
You will never learn from experience<\/p>\n
Because experience is<\/p>\n
Only now<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
There is only what is occurring<\/p>\n
Right now<\/p>\n
Change does happen<\/p>\n
But there is no past<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0 To cause it<\/p>\n
Every attempt to reach oneness<\/p>\n
Is oneness already attempting<\/p>\n
