Wonderful

The only thing, is now
nothing is missing from it.
Absolutely everything is piled in it.
Everything perfectly present,
like a slow falling shower of flowers.
A cascade of appearances,
dropping from the sky.
No thing is extra or minus.
Its all just here, all just now.
Any talk of the future
nothing more than fantasy.
The past is made of dream,
a reflection in a bubble.
To speak of it, offers no trouble.
As long as it just is that,
resting in the now.
A symphony of bliss
that something, that you somehow know.
Something total, something real.
Sounds simple, sounds stupid.
But its pure sunshine
pure now.
Let us dare to experience this.
Only as it is.
No labels, no rules.
close your eyes.
see no wisdom,see no fools.
leaves you in a state of wonder,
Is that not just wonderful?

Nice write up, I enjoyed it.

Why is right now called the present? Because it is the greatest gift of all. Unfortunately most people have yet to unwrap it and see what's inside.

We're too slow to realize the moment. For us its always a moment too late.

Now, if we can just come up with some way of stopping the future from happening.

If we stopped the future then we'd be stopping the past as well. If we stop the future and past then we stop the now from happening as well. They're all the same thing, their separation is just a pesky illusion created by the mind.

The main problem is when we postpone the present with the future or the past. If we manage not to postpone with wishes and hoping, the flag whistles in the wind.a reply to: 3NL1GHT3N3D1

That was beautiful and a breath of fresh air! Thank you!

Still doesn't stop the future from happening. But I agree. In the 'next dimension', its possible to be everywhere and everywhen at once.

omniscient and omnipresent

(Spellcheck didn't like 'everywhen', thinks its two words…) We're stuck in the third dimension, see?

But, as a matter of fact, you cannot compare this present experience with a past experience. You can only compare it with a memory of the past, which is a part of the present experience.

But the future is still not here, and cannot become a part of experienced reality until it is present. Since what we know of the future is made up of purely abstract and logical elements — inferences, guesses, deductions — it cannot be eaten, felt, smelled, seen, heard, or otherwise enjoyed.

Time. Could we have experiences without it?

Perhaps we're in someone/something else's timeframe, in which we are the ones who suffer the mal-effects of it, while he/she/it has a ball. Ouroboros, the serpent constantly consuming its own tail, samsara, the serpentine Satan, or whatever you want to call it, is the prince/demiurge of this world - we are in its orbit; it's playground of infinitude possibility. When anyone nears escape and begins to find their own orbit, i.e. Jesus or Buddha, great temptation is given to supplant the subject back in satan's orbit - a knowledgeable refusal of this temptation renders the subject free and illimitable. And so, the truth will set you free.

"...him that sitteth on a throne over all the earth that receiveth back his own from them that borrow... him that girdeth about the sphere, that is outside the ocean, whose tail is set in his own mouth: I am he that entered through the barrier (fence) into paradise and spake with Eve the things which my father bade me speak unto her"

(Sorry for the tangent off the inspiring poem )

very nice

To answer that we have ask and answer is time real anyway? it can only be real because we say it is or believe it is. Take a dream, what time frame does that hold? or is it just bubbles of ideas.
