In the Moment

Hey, does anyone know that the moment encompasses the whole Universe, from one end to the next, including time and space? What does that suggest then, that everything is born of the moment? While here I could be standing on some planet 20 million light years away, and be thinking the same thing (or, anything else) that I am right at this very moment. Hmm … So how about the notion of the Big Bang then? Is it possible that the moment existed before that, and has always been? Sounds plausible to me. While hey, today is the first day of the rest of your life, right? :wink:

Also, is anyone aware that the only way we can conceive of the moment is through consciousness? How is that? And what might it suggest? That the moment is a dimension unto itself perhaps, indeed the very dimension of spirit – or thought – of which the Mind of God becomes manifest?

Excerpt from Joseph Campbell’s, The Power of Myth

I don’t particuarly like it when people try to pin me down, do you? This is how you destroy life – much, in the way the entomologist crucifies the butterly – by taking it out of context with the moment. Of course once you pin it down, the life tends to miraculously disappear now doesn’t it? Hmm … Perhaps it’s received back into the dimension from which it game, the moment that is?

Works for me. The temporal springs forth from the eternal. The infinite creates the finite.

Wow! And that was so easy for you to say. :slight_smile:

Trying to be in the moment, can make you miss the very moment, that you trying to be in.

There’s no need to try. :smiley: Now, if you wish to catch the moment, then take a picture.

Yeah, but then you gotta plan ahead. Have the right speed of film, set the aperture and exposure, test your light, have your flash charged, and remember to remove the lens cap. :smiley:
