Have you ever experienced, done, thought, or felt anything outside the NOW? Do
you think you ever will? Is it possible for anything to happen or be outside the
Now? The answer is obvious, isn't it?
Nothing every happened in the past;
it happened in the Now.
Nothing will every happen in the future; it will
happen in the Now.
What you think of as the past is a memory trace,
stored in the mind, of a former Now. When you remember the past, you reactivate
a memory trace - and you do so now. The future is an imagined Now, a projection
of the mind. When the future comes, it comes as the Now. When you think about
the future, you do it now. past and future obviously have no reality of their
own. Just as the moon has no light of its own, but can only reflect the light of
the sun, so are past and future only pale reflections of the light, power and
reality of the eternal present. Their reality is "borrowed" from the Now.- page 50 in The power of now by Eckhart Tolle
I have suffered from a guilty conscience because even though I am definitely aware of the power of now, I am too focusing on the past which has been done and passed being stuck in a special mood (something not good).
However, I will not be conscience-stricken more.
Because that kind of feeling is also against My Now. :D
