We all come from eternity. The trick is to determine how to start consciously returning to eternity while we are still alive in human form.\u00a0 Philosophers tell us that the best way to do so is by living in the present. If we recognize that each moment is an opportunity to do just that, hopefully, we will start living differently. \u00a0It creates a dichotomy wherein we are challenged to seek the perfection within each moment and not worry about the failings or victories of the past or the future. Once we begin to find the perfection inherent within each moment, we will slowly begin to merge with eternity.\u00a0 Once we shift the focus of our consciousness to the moment, we will see a change in our basic composition. We will become less dense and more filled with the essence of who we truly are.<\/p>\n
\u00a0So here is the rub. Concentrate upon the perfection within\u00a0each moment, to assure that you will live forever. \u00a0\u00a0It seems contradictory, but it is not.\u00a0 When we focus upon just the moment that is occurring in the present, we are free from the ghosts of the future and the shackles of the past.\u00a0 We have all had this feeling. \u00a0A moment of complete perfection when, just for a second, we became one with everything. There were no thoughts, no judgments, just pure existence.\u00a0 For some of us this occurs when we are downhill skiing or snowboarding. \u00a0For others, this may happen when you look at your child sleeping, hear a particularly exquisite musical piece or view a painting or photograph that just takes your breath away.\u00a0 We become so caught up in the beauty of the moment that we forget to fret about the past or worry about the future. We, in that brief moment, simply exist.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Now I understand\u00a0 that many of us are not always living in ideal conditions that will allow us to experience some of these moments. \u00a0Life, with all of its responsibilities can be extremely difficult. However, we have to find a way to enjoy the \u201clittle things,\u201d and we will find that epiphany. Be thankful and enjoy the fact that you have running water and can awaken and wash your face. If you don\u2019t have access to running water be thankful for the fact that you are simply alive another day and will have an opportunity to observe many of the earth\u2019s beautiful gifts: a purple sunrise or sunset; the warmth of the sun; the clarity of the sky in winter; the first snow\u00a0 of the season; the sound of a babbling brook\u2026 I could go on and on. Beauty is around us. We just need to observe our surroundings to find the beauty and become one with it.\u00a0 In that one second where you lose yourself in something enthralling, you will experience oneness with all that is. You will experience Eternity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
