Here and Now

“I am not my body. I am not my moods. I am not my emotions, my aches, my pains. I am not even my thoughts, so many of which are influenced by my body, and my moods, and my emotions, and my aches and pains. I am beyond all of that. I am spirit … free, pure, and clear with no history and no future, only this crystal clear moment of pure light, right here and right now.”

“What good does this do me right now?” you ask as you sit in awareness of your many human issues. It does you a world of good. A universe of good. Knowing that there is more—far more—than your outer world, you can shift your focus at any time to your inner world and move beyond time to the timeless now, where thoughts, emotions, moods, aches, and pains cease. Yes, you will have to return again to that seemingly more physical world, but now it seems less real to you, less permanent, and perhaps less important. Watch where you place your focus and watch your concerns slip away.
