Conversations with Time

"When time is overthrown, the dusty colored chalk of past and future will no longer be graffiti'd on the pure white communication of a life's times, which always and can only happen now, in the blink of an eye."

I enjoyed The Secret. It's a great "rapid fire" in the style of the day, but I also recognized most of what had been said from numerous sources, mostly ancient and since.

Regarding the topic I have a feel for what the secret-tellers are getting at. I have been "getting at" the idea of the creative power of Attraction - the "law" if you will - in this way lately: Believin' It = Be Livin' It.

(By the way, Grasping At Laws is the name of my band because I think laws are overrated, and our infantile grasping at and clinging to them to make sense of life just makes it a mess. But it provides some very funny people, in a pathetic funny sort of way.)

The realization of how true my equation is in every now moment has a spooky quality to it, at least for a flash. In the truest sense of the idea there can be no time lag between believing something about your life and being it in the living of your life .

This points to what I currently find an interesting (and arguably more urgent) topic: the role of time throughout discussions in forums such as this, and Neale Donald Walsch's Conversations with God (CwG) forums.

Too many teachers and seekers continue to talk as though they believe in time. As though "then" is not really "now". Communication should indicate that "Then" IS "now" - which is why I have coined the term "Then-Now".

Continued insistence upon past and future in any discussion of unifying the human experience seems a bit psychotic, but seems to me to be the norm. I consider time an important culprit in what I have heard Neale refer to as "separation theology" and it's evolving offshoots.

The "reality" of time is not the issue - it is the dualistic role we continue to assign to the concept of time. In other words, it's the words!! We say things like "more than half a century has passed", or a quarter century will have passed when some new thing "finally arrives". It seems only useful to allow time to retain this illusory role if we agree that "A fool that persists in their folly will become wise."

Of course. Yes. I can go to bed now.

It's past and future painted all over the communication of something that can only happen now, in the blink of an eye. This of course was alluded to in CwG book 1, which is happening now. ;^)

That's an overview of the topic I find most pressing and am addressing in my forums, including the forthcoming CD.
