Time is an aspect of existence. Time generates space. We experience it as solidity of the world around us.
We are able to experience our world through our consciousness, our basic awareness. This is the fundamental nature of existence. But when we are able to recognize, to be aware that we are aware, our conscious presence, our conscious awareness, and the subtlety of that experience, then we create an access point into the infinite Now of creation.
In the Oneness that is all there is, there can never be a division, a separation. Unity is fundamental. And that fundamental oneness is pure consciousness. All that exists is a manifestation of consciousness. In the final analysis, the oneness of consciousness cannot be separated. What we term the Now is the infinite potential of consciousness to create all things, all time, all space, all experience. Past, present, future are merely aspects of the Now. The Now transcends all these apparent distinctions.
In its truest sense, the Now is infinite in nature. We use the term infinite in many ways, and think we know something about its nature, purely because we recognize the term. One definition – the infinite it is not a dimension, but more of a medium that we function within. Such a definition personalizes and unifies the concept of the infinite. We are within, as opposed to being in a place where we perceive the infinite as an external dimension or distance.
Consciousness, the Now, the Infinite, define creation – not that they are possible to define. We exist as a manifestation of all three, but most closely created as part of consciousness. Everything, everyone is consciousness. Yet in order to experience the infinite creation available, total conscious awareness on an individual level would be an impossibility. We would have to suspect that one in that circumstance would be in a constant state of bliss. Bite-size chunks, especially in this third dimensional density, give us the ability to savor experiences, as the love that we are.
The Now and our conscious presence are able to merge together. For the Now and conscious presence are synonymous. Individually, although they are never really separate, they represent one of the many expressions of duality in this dimensional experience. Experienced or perceived as separate, they form the basis for how the vast majority of our world functions. Such a state of being creates the veil that keeps us from recognizing our true connection to the Unity of the Oneness that is existence. It is one of many paradoxes we encounter. The oneness of creation, in ultimate reality, is indivisible. Yet in order to experience itself, it has been necessary to separate into different aspects, different awareness, different perspectives. And the creation of duality and separation provide a means to experience reality in a personal way. A.S. / T.A.O 11/5/21
