CT,
I know it looks like it's one fleeting moment after the next, but it's not. If you can only ever exist in the moment and you're always existing, then the moment is the only place you are and the only place anything can exist.
The secret is to see it
not as a moment or moments strung together, but to see it as a
constant place of existance. You're always existing, but only right now, it's one place, one space, it's not really even a moment for a moment implies time and there really isn't any.
If we look at it as a place we exist, a space where we are, then we can also see that things don't take time to come into being. Ask yourself this.....why do some things take time to manifest and somethings take longer??
It's not about time, it's about observation of your place/space. I wrote a post a while back (I should really orgainse this posts somewhere handy
) about how consciousness is actually a container of sorts. inside that container you place everything you require including time, money, love, sky, birds everything you want inside.
Because the container (consciousness) is timeless, manifestation requires no time to come into being and if anything, everything manifests instantly (via choice) inside the container, but because you like things to be interesting, you create time and delay inside the container.
Calling it a container means we don't need the delay of time to mainfest. Yes it may seem like that, but as long as we observe right now that it is so, that it is done, then it will mainfest inside the container, inside consciousness, inside your reality,
it will do it instantly and you'll think it took time.
The way we make things appear inside our container is to observe them and this is easier when we consider time is illusionary, because we then realise we don't need time, we can mainfest as quickly as we choose to.
Why do we need time? Because it helps us appreciate our physicality
Observation is creation.
