“Forever is composed of nows.” -
Emily Dickenson
“Now is eternity. Eternity is now.” - Deepak Chopra
A portal is defined as a point or means of entrance; a
gateway. When it comes to things
spiritual, I am convinced there is but one portal to any of the dimensions that
lie above us. That opening – the only
gateway available is now. Now as in this
current instant of time. If we want to
be able to get a glimpse of anything beyond this, we must do the work to
deprive our ego of the means to keep us in the past – we rid ourselves of
anger, grudges, guilt and shame. We then
do the work to keep our ego out of the future – we address our fears and our
tendency to project. As we rid ourselves
of these annoyances we start to live in the present moment. But then we find that in the current moment
our ego wants to attach and judge and thus still keeps us from being fully
present. It labels this and that as good
or bad, wants us to like or dislike one thing after another and launches into
thought processes that still distract us from being fully aware. But as we work to start living in our spirit
and distancing ourselves from this babbling we begin to become present in the
moment. Now what?
Being – awareness, consciousness, connectedness – this is the essence of
life. The more fully present we become
the more intensely we become aware of the essence of all that is around and
within us. Where we used to have a hunch
now and then we come to live in intuition and inspiration. We see meaningful coincidences that exceed the
bounds of coincidence time after time – in fact we can become so used to them
that they begin to seem “normal.” Of
course our thinking mind constantly tries to creep in and pull us out of this
zone, but with a bit of maintenance we know deep joy and serenity that we did
not think possible. We find ourselves of
great use to our fellows and our life takes on a complete new meaning. A whole new world awaits us – and it awaits
us now. What a phenomenal classroom this
world is – the ultimate “on the job training.”
And the only time we need to fully experience it is now.
Today, may I be as fully present
as I am capable of. D.Emch
Have an awesome Thursday !!
