Our conscious, our awareness, acts and experiences only now, nowhere else. Whatever other we may imagine remains the conscious activity of now.

Divine, un-, super-, sub-: conscious prefixed or not creates and participates only now.

Now is the only point we actually touch our lives.

If we constantly spend now anticipating or reminiscing, whether in pleasure or in anxiety, we are essentially out of touch with reality where it operates fully, where it counts, right here and right now.

We block ourselves off from our full experience of reality when we habitually give our attention away to other than now.

There is no other than now. This is it.

Knowing now, being now, doing now: now is forever.

Now is eternal, and the only way we can experience eternity is now.

As we form the simple habit of living now and become accustomed to being fully present to the moment at hand, we find it's not to the exclusion of practical, everyday routines and jobs. Necessary and appropriate planning are solidly a part of the now moment.

Our focused attention, relaxed and alert, is integral to our everyday jobs and routines. Instead of feeling separate from our jobs, feeling that our lives don't start until quitting time or the weekend, we can live in wholeness no matter what we are doing or where we are doing it.

Work and play aren't opposites, nor is one better or worse than the other; they're names we give to perspectives in our whole experience.

As we form the habit of living now, we learn to distinguish between what's appropriate planning and what's useless anticipation and worry, between what we think about our situation and what's its reality is. We get to enjoy reminiscing with our friends without getting bogged in the past, and we can attend to future arrangements without getting entangled in wild speculation.

Let's release our grandiose and unrealistic expectations. At least, let's know expectations for what they are. Let's accept our everyday reality. Let's free ourselves from useless thinking and words that clutter and obscure our present, moment to moment experience. Let's accept the gift of experiencing now.

Why habitually place ourselves into past or future scenarios that screen us from our full experience of now? Why clutter our brains with fruitless guilt? with futile anxiety? with useless anticipation? Why diminish our experience fretting over its details? Right here and right now is our direct connection with infinity and eternity.

Why overlook infinity arguing over its measurements: why miss eternity waiting for it to happen.
