timelessness

There is a way of being which is timeless. That is, there is no feeling of time passing. This state of being, this psychological state, comes when the mind stops thinking about the past and about the future. When our awareness is fully present in the moment, now, time no longer exists. The past does not exist and the future does not exist.

Of course, we have memories of the past and we have ideas about the future. When these memories and thoughts of the future are occupying our thinking mind, then we will feel time as existing. When such thoughts are not in our mind, then all the energy of consciousness is focussed in the present moment, which is timeless. It is eternal. It can be felt to contain the whole of time, just as the same space of present consciousness can be felt to contain the whole of space.

In this state of timelessness, there is no space for fear. Fear requires time. Fear is always about the future, not about the present moment. So timelessness includes fearlessness. And by fear we also mean all the small worries, anxieties, that are normally felt in life. These too can disappear leaving an innocent mind, fresh, open, receptive to whatever life is offering in the moment, right now.

Allow this timelessness to come to your consciousness. Experience it for yourself. It is a vast land; a moment so eternal that the passing of time seems small in comparison. My friends, make timelessness your abode.
