Teacher Ophelius: "The time is 'now' my friends -- there
is no past or future. This is a very difficult concept for many to understand.
You have all heard about this before, this 'living in the now,' or 'living
in the moment.' What exactly do I mean by this? Let me explain. All
that you are, all that you think and feel is happening now -- not in
the past, not in the future, but now. Yes, we all have our memory of
past 'now events,' and we have our hopes and conjectures about the future
'now,' but everything there is exists in the present moment. You can
have life and have it more abundantly right now if you can keep living
consciously in this 'now' present moment.
"Many of you who are starting out on this path of spiritual awakening
are dealing with many emotional and past traumatic events that have
shaped who you are in this now moment. These personality-shaping events,
most often in early development, lead one into limitations of personality
expression. Your 'now moments' are constantly being shaped by what happened
in the past and you are constantly checking and comparing your present
now moments with your past now moments and keeping your personality
expressions in this 'template' of how to think and feel based on the
expectations of the ego-self. This 'emotional template' even prepares
your thinking for the future now events that are yet to occur by telling
the ego-self what is expected of you -- that you must think, act, and
react according to this framework. You are caught in a loop of now moments
that are really just a succession of past trauma checking and future
expectations that prevent you from living freely and consciously in
the present now.
"How do we live in the present? Can we just forget our past and
all our traumas? The key to living in the now is to 'forgive and forget'
-- a wonderful phrase you have all heard. Forgiving yourself and others
for past wrongs is one way of letting go of those past now moments that
keep you in this 'checking the template' mode of thinking. Accepting
these moments as 'teaching moments' and accepting the limitations of
awareness of those who have wronged you will help you to live in the
present now by freeing up all that wasted mind energy that is constantly
working and checking the template.
"Use your newly found awareness to focus thought on achieving and
manifesting your desires to perfect yourself, pursue truth, create beauty,
and exude goodness by lighting up the world around you. This is true
happiness my friends, to live in the moment -- free to live, love, and
laugh without regret, without fear, without feelings of unworthiness.
All reality is now and your experiences of the now. You will never again
have the unique opportunity to experience now moments on your native
planet, so let us 'seize the moment' and make these moments the most
exciting, loving, joy-filled moments you can - it's happening now!
"Peace to you,
"The Circle of Seven."
