I don&#8217;t wanna get into the discussion about time, eternity, the illusion of past and future, and all that jazz. I&#8217;m just not feelin&#8217; it right now. Instead I wanna address some direct and distinct shifts that are occurring, namely that time (among other things) is quite literally starting to break apart and fracture right before my very eyes.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not just about the experience of timelessness or events seeming to either fly by or take forever, not just those internal personal experiences, but I&#8217;m also now beginning to see these internal things be reflected back to me in the world. Digital clocks are now sometimes literally beginning to skip, as in several minutes or hours at a time simply won&#8217;t exist for me even though there is still the continuing experience of life. Analog clocks (the ones with minute hands and hour hands) around me are slowing down and getting off sync with other sources of time, and it&#8217;s not just old clocks and dying batteries&#8230;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s quite literally as if certain parts of life literally do not exist for me. <img src='http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/wp-includes/images/smilies/blink.gif' alt=':blink' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>To be honest, there&#8217;s a number of things I&#8217;ve held myself back from talking about here, either because I wanted to keep this blog focused specifically on awakening or because some of the topics are a little too *out there*&#8230; But you know what? Let&#8217;s roll with it and see where this takes us, especially now that <a href="http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&amp;p=4130#p4117">a bunch of you are reporting to have similar experiences anyways</a>&#8230; <img src='http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span id="more-3781"></span></p>
<h3>Telepathy and Empathy</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/aura-light.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3785" title="Aura Light" src="http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/aura-light.jpg" alt="" width="222" height="300" /></a>My latent telepathic abilities have started awakening and I&#8217;ve noticed that my inner guidance is often operating in harmony with other people wanting to tell me something. As mentioned <a href="http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/nothingness-and-existence-prior-to-consciousness/">yesterday</a>, it&#8217;s like being part of a flock of birds, both individual and simultaneously unified, where multiple people are cooperative components to a greater whole. We can call it co-creating the experience of intuitive communication. It&#8217;s as if two of us are somehow <a href="http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/where-do-thoughts-come-from/">on the same frequency</a> and can pick up on one another&#8217;s thoughts, feelings, intentions, and desires.</p>
<p>This seems to be correlating to a sudden increase in empathy (and actually sympathy at times) and intuitive strength that has occurred within the last two weeks. I now feel people much more strongly and even cry and laugh quite often for no logical reason, both in meditation when releasing my own inner stuff as well as when feeling other people&#8217;s emotions. Heck, I&#8217;ve been crying when watching American Idol auditions these past few weeks, much to my surprise! It seems to occur particularly often when I observe people who really really really want to make it to Hollywood. It&#8217;s like I can connect to them and suddenly feel all their emotion come pouring through me.</p>
<p>Again, developing the ability to surrender and maintain a sense of transparency so that the energy flows through me without me absorbing it personally, this is a really important skill. I often prefer this to simply closing down my heart and blocking out other people&#8217;s energies, though that certainly has its place in terms of learning to moderate the flow of energy and not take in more than you can handle.</p>
<p>As an aside, long distance wireless communication has always fascinated me. When I was younger I built WiFi antennas, spent time with friends who were amateur radio operators, studied electromagnetics and lasers in college where I learned about RF communication (like radio and TV) as well as optical communication through fiber optic cables, spent time ogling satellites and satellite dishes, and studied up on the basics of quantum teleportation-based communication. This blossoming of interest in telepathic communication is not about the desire for siddhis and supernatural abilities, but a natural progression of and development of an lifelong passion of mine.</p>
<h3>Beyond Earth</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.marioduguay.com/en/products.php?prd=477509910&amp;cat=1192774494&amp;page=8"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3784" title="Never Alone by Mario Duguay" src="http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/never-alone-mario-duguay.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="300" /></a>I&#8217;ve also started getting flashes of not only past lives on earth, but past lives elsewhere in the cosmos. Ever since I was a little kid, looking up into the stars feels somehow like being home. Recognizing this and seeing my own galactic history makes it much easier to accept freely for myself many of the extraterrestrial beings who are channeling down to earth at this time. (The Essassani, Arcturians, and Pleiadians are among my favorites that I have come across thus far.) Being able to accept this and release so much internal resistance and denail has been a HUGE relief for me, like a tremendous weight lifted off my shoulders.</p>
<p>One quick point about past lives: When I look back I find that they&#8217;re not really past lives. They&#8217;re more like multiple simultaneously occurring incarnations. Since I&#8217;m now finding my consciousness starting to periodically disconnect from the apparent stream of linear earth time (or more accurately consciousness ceasing to create the experience of time within itself), there have been some discontinuous breaks that have been experienced <a href="http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/nothingness-and-existence-prior-to-consciousness/">as mentioned previously</a>. It&#8217;s not under my deliberate conscious control. It&#8217;s like something that just seems to happen as I fully surrender to the moment. It almost feels like I&#8217;m gradually entering the world of time travel and have yet to find the steering wheel or the panel that allows me to pick a time and place to jump to. Either way, looks like I&#8217;ve got both a flux capacitor and 1.21 gigawatts at my disposal.  <img src='http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/wp-includes/images/smilies/laugh.gif' alt=':lol' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>There have also been some conscious connections strengthening with archangels, in particular Archangel Michael. I don&#8217;t have a two-way verbal dialog happening with him yet, but his presence is quite clear and visceral to me. His energy I can actually feel quite distinctly, as if he&#8217;s standing behind me like the picture above illustrates. (My head even has developed a natural tendency to lean back, again just like that picture above, ironically enough&#8230;) Every being, whether collective or individual, seems to have uniquely different energies. This applies whether we&#8217;re talking about spirit guides, angels or archangels, extraterrestrials, or even your very own light within. Each has a unique vibrational feeling signature, much like different notes in a song.</p>
<p>This universe is far more expansive than we&#8217;ve been taught in school. As nontraditional and even woowoo as some of this may seem, right or wrong it&#8217;s something I just have to let go and allow to arise through me. Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction&#8230; <img src='http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/wp-includes/images/smilies/smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Happy New Years 2010!
So here we are, enjoying yet another expression of the singular eternal NOW, calling it 2010 as we play the game called linear time.
1/1/10. A number of people have been talking about energy gateways opening up leading up to 2012. We had 9/9/09 and a number of other numerically significant dates. Great, [...]]]></description>

<p>So here we are, enjoying yet another expression of the singular eternal NOW, calling it 2010 as we play the game called linear time.</p>
<p>1/1/10. A number of people have been talking about energy gateways opening up leading up to 2012. We had 9/9/09 and a number of other numerically significant dates. Great, cool. Either way, I didn&#8217;t see too much noticeable change in my life in my own direct experience. It&#8217;s certainly possible that something&#8217;s happening behind the scenes, underneath the threshold of my conscious awareness, but there hasn&#8217;t been much clear change in my experience. The start of 2010 seems to be different though&#8230;</p>
<p>Last night I was laying in bed (after the ball drop) and right as I was getting close to the point where my mind was I was about to fall asleep as my mind was naturally relaxing, this uniquely catching image popped into awareness.</p>
<p>As the earth continued to rotate about its axis, I could actually see this sea of yellow-white light/love washing over the surface of the earth, bathing it in yet a higher level of bright love and light. (The energy of love looks like light, but it&#8217;s just as much love. Two words for one energy.) As the earth made its transition into the new year, we actually got some sort of energetic upgrade on mother earth, our beloved Gaia. I whipped up an image in photoshop to show you what it looked like, though the threshold dividing line was a little more nebulous than in this pic:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/earth-light-transition.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-3731 alignnone" title="Earth Light Transition" src="http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/earth-light-transition.jpg" alt="" width="229" height="229" /></a></p>
<p>In the practical living-life sense, I&#8217;ve felt an increased level of lightness, joy, well-being, and ease. Feels like ego stuff is sticking less and it&#8217;s less of a controlling influence in my life, but maybe that&#8217;s just me. Out of curiosity, what (if anything) have you guys noticed with the start of this new year?</p>
<p>Have you had any personal shifts with the start of the new years? For example, my main intention/resolution for the new years is to give up my ego games of sadness, resistance, believing the LoA doesn&#8217;t fully work for me, and generally resisting life and being unhappy with what is. To use some Abraham-Hicks lingo, it&#8217;s about simply being in the vortex as often as possible, allowing myself to be happy in this moment for its own sake, allowing myself to enjoy what IS in this moment, including the moment itself. Basically just letting go of the struggling and suffering. Happiness and Joy rocks!! <img src='http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/wp-includes/images/smilies/laugh.gif' alt=':lol' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>So today is 11-11 and there&#8217;s been lots of chatter lately about ascension, the relevance of this date in relationship to 2012, and so on.</p>
<p>For example, I&#8217;ve read things like this regarding the date:</p>
<blockquote><p>This Wednesday, November 11, 2009 11:11:11 The number eleven is a gateway: a parallel time construct that allows you to leave the confines of this matrix reality, absorb, and experience new energy and information from other dimensions. Elevens are keys that can unlock subconscious thought structures and free you from their dictating confining powers.</p></blockquote>
<p>Great. Cool. So I decided it would be cool to meditate through the transition in time, so I sat down a little bit before 11:11 am, closed my eyes, and allowed whatever was going to happen to happen. Basically surrendering control and observing whatever arises, having no clue what *should* happen, if anything at all.</p>
<p>What I noticed in myself during the transition was a tremendous sense of lightness, as if clamps of weight had been released and I felt much lighter, as if the shackles of some old world no longer tied me down and kept me bound to that way of being. I felt free, able to move in any direction easily without those old and familiar limitations. It was a lot like taking off a weight vest and losing a tremendous sense of density and physicality.</p>
<p>What are you guys experiencing today? Any changes or shifts?</p>
<p>If you have any videos or information regarding this 11-11 stuff, feel free to share that information down in <a href="http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&amp;t=823">the comments area</a>!</p>
<p>Cheers to our waking journey! Weee!!  <img src='http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/wp-includes/images/smilies/green_bounce.gif' alt=':bounce' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Some of what I&#8217;m gonna write about here I&#8217;ve written posts about but didn&#8217;t feel like publishing them, so I&#8217;m gonna make one big mish mash of a post.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s hit the highlights.</p>
<p>My body quite literally feels like this image, and around it is nothing. Pure void.</p>
<p>The past week and a half or so, my third eye has been opening about 8-10 times per day, minimum. I&#8217;ve been seeing how to bring heaven down to earth, among other things. Many projects and people have been drawing into my life.</p>
<p>Right now as I write this I feel the back of my third eye opening. This is new.</p>
<p>Various chakras light up throughout the day. Usually the heart. Sometimes the solar plexus. Sometimes sacral, root, crown. A lot of heart and a lot of third eye. Not so much throat.</p>
<p>At times it feels like this body is being breathed with energy, particularly when I go into intense surrender. The energy pulses in and out in waves, releasing repressed sadness as tears.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s 9/9/9. I&#8217;m watching the movie &#8220;The Nines&#8221; after Jonas&#8217; recommendation on facebook. Perfect recommendation. Thank you Jonas. My life is a lot like this in many ways.</p>
<p>I literally feel like I&#8217;m in a dream world. Everything I see is no more real than my night dreams, visualizations, or day dreams. For real&#8230;</p>
<p>One of my first youtube videos was about <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNxZn5ummWo">the collapse of space and recognizing that everything is here</a>. Space is something I haven&#8217;t experienced for months now. I got how everything was Here, but I couldn&#8217;t quite grasp how everything is Now. I see this now and have lost my experience of time altogether. 5 minutes feels identical to 5 hours. Identical. For the past 4-5 days or so, I&#8217;ve discovered that I no longer experience time. It&#8217;s very natural actually, as if time is just another layer of illusion on top of Reality. It doesn&#8217;t feel like anything important is lacking, any more than how you&#8217;d feel something important (the experience of time) is lacking when you&#8217;re doing something you love and time flies. In awareness, there is no time. This is something I&#8217;d like to go into more depth on later.</p>
<p>Things I think about keep manifesting. It&#8217;s getting pretty ridiculous. Not only has synchronicity been cranked way up lately, but manifestations are much more vivid and powerful. Manifestation literally doesn&#8217;t take time. As time collapses, manifestation happens much more quickly.</p>
<p>It feels like I&#8217;m being given much more power in this dream world. Before I could tell myself that maybe I wasn&#8217;t actually creating everything in my reality. Now it&#8217;s practically impossible to buy that thought. The buffer or delay between thought energy arising and resultant manifestation is obvious.</p>
<p>People talk about how what you think about you bring about or how the world is your mirror. This is all so obvious. It&#8217;s all ONE. Of COURSE this happens! Your energy manifests in the world because there is nothing BUT your energy. Thus there is no other possibility!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s literally impossible for anything to go wrong. There are no mistakes. There are no accidents. Everything is divinely guided, beautifully orchestrated. Seeing that nothing can go wrong, guilt and shame drop away, as does the need to apologize. All of those presume that something can go wrong. This is not true. From the perspective of ego, sure. From the perspective of This, not at all. Whether or not what happens happens in the highest good, ahhh, now that&#8217;s another question. Everything is intentional, but not necessarily intended in alignment with the highest good.</p>
<p>What is Here is not just a living manifestation of the Divine. What is Here is also God Unmanifest. Some call this Source. Both are Here as One, yet what you see in the domain of the physical, not just &#8220;me&#8221; but throughout the totality of the Universe is what I AM in living manifestation.</p>
<p>Deeper and deeper, it&#8217;s like more surrender, sitting back as awareness and allowing what is to be.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not all comfortable, really. It&#8217;s not superbliss or ecstasy or anything. It feels more like a continual purging of toxicity, as if this body and nervous system are being stepped up to a higher level.</p>
<p>There are breaks, pauses. This all happens in waves. In sections. Bit by bit. It&#8217;s somewhat cyclical. Sometimes I feel nothing. Something it&#8217;s very intense. Even during the intense moments it cycles in intensity.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s really nothing to do but sit back as awareness and allow this energy to do what it may, to be, to allow, to witness this change from the vantagepoint of the unchanging.</p>

<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3021" title="Perception" src="http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/perception.jpg" alt="Perception" width="220" height="175" />Consider this: From the linear perspective of time, with your five senses you can not perceive what is actually arising in the present moment. It&#8217;s technically impossible.</p>
<p>Everything you&#8217;re seeing happened a fraction of a second ago or more. It takes time for light to travel from what you&#8217;re looking at to your eyes. Thus, you are not actually seeing the present, but the past. You&#8217;re seeing something as it existed some time ago.</p>
<p>When you look up in the sky at the sun, you&#8217;re not looking at where the sun is now, but where the sun was 8 minutes ago. When you look up at the stars at night, you&#8217;re not looking in the direction of where the stars are now (if they even still exist and haven&#8217;t exploded since), but where they were hundreds, thousands, or even millions of years ago!</p>
<p>The same applies for sound. It takes time for sound to travel through the air and vibrate your ear drums. So again, you are not perceiving the present, but the past.</p>
<p>What about taste and touch? Perhaps they&#8217;re different because in order to experience those senses, you have to be in physical contact with the object. Thus there&#8217;s no delay as the vibration travels through space to your body.</p>
<p>Well, it takes time for the nerve&#8217;s impulses to travel through your body to your brain so that they may be perceived by the mind. This process too takes time.</p>
<p>To recognize this more clearly, why is it that when you touch a hot stove, you almost instantly pull your hand back? That&#8217;s right. Reflexes. Your body knows to pull your hand away before the signal makes it up to your brain, is processed as pain and danger, and the brain then sends a signal back to your arm to pull your hand away. Thanks to our reflexes, physical responses can happen even before mental perception.</p>
<p>Perception takes time. What we perceive is actually the past. You can not perceive the present moment with your physical senses. It&#8217;s physically impossible.</p>
<h4>Perceiving in Time and Space</h4>
<p>With your senses, you&#8217;re clearly not perceiving the entire universe at once. It&#8217;s like you&#8217;re only perceiving a tiny fraction of all of time and space at a time.</p>
<p>What you perceive at any moment depends both on <em>where </em>you are and <em>when </em>you are there.</p>
<p>If you change when you are in a particular location or space, what you perceive in that space changes. You can&#8217;t just be in the right place, but you have to be at the right place at the right time.</p>
<p>Similarly, if you change where you are physically relative to any object, what you experience about that object at any point in time will be different. For example, if you&#8217;re far away from a loud noise, you&#8217;ll hear it later in time than if you were really close to it. Thus, when you experience something totally depends on where you are in space.</p>
<p>Time and space are inseparable. They truly depend on one another. This is why people call physical reality a time/space reality or refer to time more accurately as spacetime. You can&#8217;t have one without another.</p>
<p>What you are perceiving at any particular moment in time is not actually what is arising in the present, but your own version of the universe, depending on where in time and space you happen to exist at any moment. It&#8217;s almost like being in your own little world! <img src='http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/wp-includes/images/smilies/biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Thus, if you want to experience the Now as it is in its pure and undistorted essence, if you want to see Reality as it actually is, a deeper part of yourself must be awakened, a part of you that exists beyond time and space. It is what is Here and Now.</p>
<h4>Awareness, Here and Now</h4>
<p>As long as we approach the the Present moment through the content that arises in the present, we will always perceive the past. We won&#8217;t be experiencing the Now.</p>
<p>Even if we think about the future, we&#8217;re looking at a thought that arose in the past, but we&#8217;re looking at it now. The looking happens now. What we are looking at happened in the past.</p>
<p>Let me repeat this because this is so important.</p>
<p><strong>The looking happens now.</strong></p>
<p><strong>What we are looking at happened in the past.</strong></p>
<p>As long as we look to experiences, memories, or perceptions, we&#8217;re not seeing the Now itself, but rather the mind&#8217;s stuff that happened in the past. The mind exists in past and future, and yet awareness is seeing whatever it is seeing, right now.</p>
<p>The content was created in the past, but awareness is seeing it now.</p>
<p>Right now, Awareness is looking at these words, regardless of when they were typed or when they showed up on your computer screen.</p>
<p>Awareness is aware of this moment. There is a big difference between awareness which is aware, here and now, and the content and experiences that arise within awareness.</p>
<p>Awareness is present. Awareness is always present. It is impossible for awareness to not be present.</p>
<p>The only thing awareness can be aware of is what is, here and now.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not something to think about. It&#8217;s not something to understand. Thinking and understanding are all more mind-stuff that arise within time, are subject to time, and exist simply as passing content within awareness.</p>
<p>All satori moments, glimpses into your true nature, sudden realizations, feelings of oneness or love.. they&#8217;re all experiences that arise within awareness. None of that is what you are. None of that is it.</p>
<h4>Connecting with Who You Are</h4>
<p>To connect with who and what you truly are,  just be.</p>
<p>Be still.</p>
<p>Rest as awareness.</p>
<p>It sounds utterly simple, and it really is.</p>
<p>Just rest as the timeless awareness that is here and now, for that is what you already are anyways.</p>
<p>By looking consciousness straight in the eye, it will come to know itself clearly.</p>
<p>This remembrance, this reconnection to the I Am that I Am, this is the foundation of awakening.</p>
<p>Consciousness is peering into this world, but it is not of this world.</p>
<p>Awareness is like this witnessing presence that is looking through this body/mind, like a watcher of a movie looks at the screen of a movie and is immersed in the sounds and colors.</p>
<p>But awareness is completely independent of the movie.</p>
<p>Rest as awareness.</p>
<p>There is nothing to understand. There is nothing to figure out. Just simply be. Be who you really are. Be still. Be.</p>

There&#8217;s this sense of deep peace that arises, where it feels like nothing&#8217;s happening. Everything is still, completely and totally still.

Everything is still, completely and totally still.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t to say that the earth stops spinning, that time stops, and that life as we know it ceases to occur, but something deeper than that, somehow beyond it all.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a sort of looking through the action and seeing the non-action, peering beyond the content of the moment and recognizing the emptiness of the moment itself.</p>
<p>Nothing is being created.</p>
<p>Nothing is happening.</p>
<p>Nothing is occuring.</p>
<p>This probably doesn&#8217;t make much sense to the mind, so let&#8217;s see if we can help it along here a bit.</p>
<p><span id="more-2930"></span></p>
<h4>Metaphysically Speaking</h4>
<p>From a metaphysical perspective, we can say that all time is now and everything exists now, meaning that everything that could ever be created already has been created. It literally all exists already. Every single thing you can imagine has already been created. There&#8217;s nothing more to be done.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not that more things are being created that weren&#8217;t there before, but simply that awareness is shifting its perspective to see another side of the totality.</p>
<p>Imagine a hologram for a moment. Every time you look at it from a different angle, it appears as if the hologram changes. Yet the hologram doesn&#8217;t change at all. YOU, the <em>observer</em>, change your perspective relative to the hologram, giving you a new view of it. The hologram doesn&#8217;t change at all, even though it looks like it does.</p>
<p>The world as we know it is very much like this. The world doesn&#8217;t change. YOU change. Awareness shifts perspective.</p>
<p>Since one&#8217;s true nature is simply awareness itself, when you change, the whole world you see changes as well.</p>
<p>When this sinks in, it becomes completely obvious why sayings such as &#8220;Be the change you wish to see in the world,&#8221; or &#8220;What you focus on expands,&#8221; or &#8220;When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change,&#8221; and so on all fit into place. Things like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPeprQ7oGc">the double-slit experiment</a> become quite natural. It is awareness itself that is the key to creation. Awareness is really all there is, anyways,</p>
<p>We could say that there is an observer and something to be observed, subject and object, but eventually that duality, too, collapses into simply observation happening. Awareness being aware. But that&#8217;s a whole &#8216;nother topic.</p>
<h4>Experientially Speaking</h4>
<p>Moving from the metaphysical explanation to a more experiential description, it feels like an infinite peace, with no one to be peaceful. Just the presence of stillness and peace itself, with no other to disturb the peace. It&#8217;s not freedom despite all other things, but a seeing through all other things so that there is no longer anything to be free of, nor anyone to be free from something. Just freedom itself.</p>
<p>No one can be free. A &#8220;me&#8221; can&#8217;t be absolutely free, for there can always a be challenge to a &#8220;me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nothing is happening, and yet everything is happening. All That Is is being All That Is. Everything is being.</p>
<p>It may sound paradoxical, but it&#8217;s really the only way to put the two together. Everything exists thanks to nothingness. The two are inseparable. Source and Manifestation are one.</p>
<p>The title of Adyashanti&#8217;s book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FEmptiness-Dancing-Adyashanti%2Fdp%2F1591794595%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks%26qid%3D1244666501%26sr%3D8-1&amp;tag=weareallone-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325">Emptiness Dancing</a> says it all.</p>
<h4>The Moment Itself</h4>
<p>When someone says to &#8220;be in the moment,&#8221; what do we usually do? We focus on the <em>content</em> of the moment. There&#8217;s whatever emotions are arising in the moment, the thoughts that arise now, the events that are occuring, breathing happening&#8230; that&#8217;s all the content of the moment.</p>
<p>What is it like to experience the moment <em>itself</em>? The context surrounding all content?</p>
<p>The obviousness that&#8217;s always here, but is so easily missed because the mind tends to go straight for the content instead.</p>
<p>The moment itself. What is that like? In your own experience? Don&#8217;t worry about trying to put it into words or be the narrator of your own experience for now.</p>
<p>Just for yourself, what does this moment feel like? Empty? Full? Busy? Still?</p>

<p>It&#8217;s interesting when past lives start to be remembered spontaneously.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s like consciousness can project itself into that life and experience it just as real as &#8220;this&#8221; life. My friend Davidya recently wrote <a href="http://in2deep.wordpress.com/2009/05/26/the-souls-past/">a very fitting article</a> on this topic which makes me laugh due to its alignment with my own experiences.</p>
<p>The dream world at night has the same level of (un)realness to any life, including this one.</p>
<p>All content is just an imaginative dream that arises within the context of awareness.</p>
<p>The I Am That I Am is everpresent throughout all space and time, here and now.</p>
<p>I Am infinite and eternal, able to call forth any aspect of myself for viewing and experience, as if the universes&#8217; experiences were my own personal collection of movies.</p>
<p>I Am, here, living this human experience.</p>
<p>I am the watcher of the movies, not the character in the movies.</p>
<p>Yet the duality between the observer and the observed somehow are collapsing as well into simply just Isness.</p>
<p>There is the arising of Life as an expression of the I Am.</p>
<p>What is the I Am?</p>
<p>It is what I am. It is what You are. It is what All is.</p>
<p>There is only one true I that is. Pure beingness itself.</p>
<p>The I Am that you feel is the same exact I Am that I feel. That is the link that unites us.</p>
<p>You and I don&#8217;t have a life. You and I can&#8217;t lose our lives. We ARE Life itself.</p>
<p>There is One Life, flowing into and through itself. There is nothing but Life with which Life can interact with.</p>
<p>All mental ideas and things are but expressions of the One Life that is.</p>
<p>This lifetime you&#8217;re experiencing in this moment, any of your past lifetimes, the life experienced by other people, the lives lived by other conscious and unconscious beings&#8230; they are all equally dreams arising within consciousness.</p>
<p>You are the eternal undamageable Presence that is not subject to space and time nor anything that arises within it, the Presence that is in this world, but not of it.</p>
<p>I love me. I love you. I love life.</p>
<p>It is all One. Here and Now.</p>
<p>One Life, One Love, One Me, One You, One Us.</p>

Have you ever noticed that, in retrospect, the right people, events, and circumstances synchronistically tend to show up at just the right time?
Looking back over the course of history, it often makes sense why things happen the way they do. Hindsight is 20/20, as they say.

<p>Have you ever noticed that, in retrospect, the right people, events, and circumstances synchronistically tend to show up at just the right time?</p>
<p>Looking back over the course of history, it often makes sense why things happen the way they do. Hindsight is 20/20, as they say.</p>
<p>As you raise your consciousness, something similar happens. It&#8217;s like your perspective also raises, giving you a clearer picture of everything around you. You become aware of more, able to see more of the &#8220;big picture,&#8221; in a sense.</p>
<h4>The Big Picture</h4>
<p>It is all connected. The appearance of random and seemingly disconnected events is the product of a limited perspective of consciousness. It&#8217;s all connected. After all, it <em>must</em> be, since it&#8217;s all One.</p>
<p>Everything that&#8217;s happening in the universe is perfect. Literally. All That Is unfolds in divine perfection. There are no mistakes. No accidents. Everything is happening absolutely perfectly.</p>
<p>Not only is perfect, but everything that&#8217;s happening in life is <a href="http://www.thework.com/thework.asp">exactly what&#8217;s supposed to be happening</a>.</p>
<p>Understanding this, we can become very excited, very appreciative, and very accepting of what arises in the Now. What could be more exciting than being in full alignment with who we are in the moment?</p>
<p>Since we&#8217;re very excited about what is happening, we&#8217;re never wanting to be anywhere else.</p>
<p>When we&#8217;re never waiting for anything else, we don&#8217;t even need the idea of patience.</p>
<p>When we no longer need patience, we&#8217;re no longer impatient.</p>
<p>Bada-bing bada-boom! <img src='http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/wp-includes/images/smilies/laugh.gif' alt=':lol' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Total acceptance, love, oneness, and peace with the Now. <img src='http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/wp-includes/images/smilies/cool.gif' alt=':cool' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>There is no such thing as A prediction of THE future.</p>
<p>You see, time is not a predestined linear path. In every moment, you and I are jumping from parallel reality to parallel reality, almost like flipping through a flip book. Now and Now and Now and Now are all parallel realities which all simultaneously exist in the infinite and timeless Now.</p>
<p>The awareness that you are is shifting from one reality to the next, in a similar way that awareness shifts from one image in a reel of film to the next. The film may be scrolling by, creating the illusion of movement within time, but there are many different individual witnessable moments in the film, all of which are simultaneously witnessable Now.</p>
<p>However, unlike a movie, there is not one beginning and one ending, but rather an infinite number of beginnings and an infinite number of endings. Thus there is no one future that can be guaranteed to be THE definite future.</p>
<p>There is no such thing as A prediction of THE future for there are an infinite number of <em>possible</em> futures.</p>
<p>Probable? Maybe, maybe not. Possible? Sure.</p>
<p>There is only a sensing of the energy present at the time the prediction is made, for there is only Now.</p>

<h4>What if a Prediction is Wrong?</h4>
<p>When I talk about a prediction of the future, I&#8217;m not only about psychics. I&#8217;m also referring to your day-to-day insights, your intuition, your hunches, your inner guidance, and so on.</p>
<p>Now, if a prediction does not come true, it does <em>not</em> necessarily mean that the prediction wasn&#8217;t true at the time it was made. It simply means that the energy changed between the time the prediction was made and the time the prediction was predicted to come into manifestation.</p>
<p>In fact, many times the existence of a prediction will change the direction of the energy because it has made you aware of where the energy is. If you don&#8217;t prefer the energy to be there, your consciousness changes the direction of the energy which renders the original prediction obsolete.</p>
<p>Ironically, a good prediction is often times doing its job by rendering itself unpredictable. <img src='http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/wp-includes/images/smilies/wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Now, there are a number of realities which have a lot of momentum and energy behind them and thus would be unlikely to shift. We would say these realities are easier to sense and &#8220;predict.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nevertheless, there is no such thing as A prediction of THE future. There is only the sensing of where the energy is Now. It is this sensing that we call a &#8220;prediction of the future.&#8221;</p>

A chair, a fraction of a chair, a road cone&#8230; each thing is the infinite universe, completely the whole entire thing. Pretty wild, huh?</p>
<p>Now this makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to the mind, doesn&#8217;t it? The mind I have has been looking for some sort of intellectual explanation to go alongside this spontaneous realization, but it wasn&#8217;t really able to explain it. (That&#8217;s just an ego game, sure, but still..) <img src='http://www.youaretrulyloved.com/enlightenment/wp-includes/images/smilies/tongue.gif' alt=':p' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Wonderfully, I recalled a Bashar lecture in which he speaks about how everything is made up of one single thing. This should help add a few more pieces to the puzzle on a mental level.</p>
<h3>Question:</h3>
<p>There&#8217;s been a lot from the scientific area about the subatomic particles called neutrinos and these beautiful little elements that are pouring into our planet and through us. Is there is a way that you could help us understand how we might receive and better understand what these particles are?</p>
<h3>Bashar:</h3>
<p>Alright. Thank you. They are one level that is closer to understanding how every particle in your physical universe is the same particle. Let us explain.</p>
<p>From our perspective, we have a view that we have, in your language, labeled the prime radiant, that goes something like this. Now we understand that when we use the term &#8216;particle&#8217;, we know that is a euphemism. We know that even your own scientists understand that when they describe particles, subatomic particles, they&#8217;re not necessarily really talking about little grains of solid substance, but they are talking about light energy and they&#8217;re talking about relationships and so forth, but we will use the term particle for convenience in this illustration. Alright?</p>
<p>And so the neutrino is much closer than a lot of other subatomic particles to the following principle, as well as is the idea of quarks, also very close to the following principle, to which your scientists are also getting very close, and that is this:</p>
<p>Imagine, if you will, and all of you can do this, vast vast emptiness. Black empty void. Nothing in it, again, just for the purposes of illustration. Now imagine, if you will, one single little particle in the midst of all that vastness, infinite vastness, there is only this one little particle floating in it. So picture that.</p>
<p>Now imagine, as many of your scientists use this terminology, that this particle is, for all intents and purposes, massless. In other words, it is not affected by any force. It can go anywhere, do anything it wants. It is not affected by inertia, not by gravity. There is no gravity. There is no inertia. There is nothing but this particle so it is affected by nothing. Therefore, it can really travel at infinite speed. It is massless so it is not violating any laws of physics by going as fast as it wants to go. It can travel at infinite speed. <em>Infinite</em> speed.</p>
<p>Now then picture that if this particle is truly traveling at infinite speed, that means it can be anywhere and everywhere within the infinite void <em>at the same time</em>. So what might <em>appear</em> to be billions and billions and billions of particles is actually only one particle zipping around <em>so fast</em> that it appears next to itself over and over and over and over and over and over again making it <em>appear</em> as if there is more than one particle. That&#8217;s the way it is.</p>
<p>So if you understand that there is really only one prime radiant particle and it is simply following what might be considered to be a geometric path through this infinite void, for lack of a better term for this illustrative purpose, then you can understand that all of the particles, all of the atoms that make up your body, all of the atoms that make up the earth, all of the atoms that make up the stars, all of the atoms that make up every galaxy within the entirety of your physical universe are all made from the same one particle. Not the same <em>type</em> of particle. The same literal one particle in the <em>ultimate</em> time-sharing program doing infinite double-duty as everything there is to be.</p>
<p>So understand the implications here. If it is all the same one particle, if the one particle that makes up what appears to be all the atoms of your body is the same particle that makes up the most distant galaxy you can perceive or imagine, then any time you make any kind of a change <em>at all</em>, you affect <em>everything</em> in Creation. You alter the path of the particle by going from here to here with your little finger, you are actually impacting the farthest galaxy because you are changing the path of the same particle that makes up everything. That&#8217;s how powerful you are! Does that give you a clue how to use the idea of neutrinos?</p>
<h3>Question:</h3>
<p>Yes</p>
<h3>Bashar:</h3>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>[audience claps and laughs]</p>
<p>Of course I understand that what you are doing is applauding for the Universe for its beautiful simplistic design. It is infinitely complex, but it is not complicated. It is absolutely perfectly simple because there is only here and there is only now and therefore there can only be one thing that occupies that here and now so that one thing has to be every thing that there is to be. Simple as that.</p>
