Being "in the now"

This idea, told and re-told to millions of people throughout the ages in many different tongues and verbiage all amounting to the exact same thing, has a REAL basis in fact, having to do with the impossibility of remaining IN the Now.



It's a time thing.

You must feel it with your whole being, ALL your centers of activity, ALL your nervous system circuitry, including thought - the crowning glory of living humans everywhere.



Remembering (with thought first) to be present, snaps you back or forward in time, into the presumed now-moment, and the worldwide inability to remain there has to do with the dimension of time pulling you into the future, into the past, stretching you so to speak.



Humans are made to be stretched by time - unlike the non-humans, the animals, that are made to be concentrated by time in time, concentrated on "being themselves", doing their "own particular thing" (according to genetic structure, size, term of life, etc. Dogs and Cows and Tigers must be dogs, cows, and tigers.)



Being stretched by time is the natural motivation to escape everybody feels "in the moment". That's why nobody can sustain it permanently, and that's how ALL the ideas from Eastern and Western Gurus, Rishis, Roshis, Masters, got started talking about Waking Up and Enlightenment. They had been fully stretched, and realized it. Buddhas and buddhas and buddhas must be buddhas.



It's not nor can ever be, personal. Time is stretching all humanity across and around the, what might be called, "universe of discourse". This sphere of thought encircling the planet, covering all possible ideas mankind can ever have, is made of the Prime Directive - "be in the now".



Thought can only spring from, the now.

You can't think >from the future<, or >from the past<. You must BE IN THE FUTURE as well, not just in imagination, but your entire nervous system, to think from the future, but you can't do that!!! Why? Because you are dragged back into the past by all your personal thoughts.



This email is being written in concert with that flow and prime directive, as is all thought/speech/worldwide - none can help it. It's "happening" right now, but for the mechanical mouthpiece/bodily-gestures/bovine-feelings, the "me", it's happening IN THE PAST.



This is what must be Seen, with your whole presence.
