Spiritual awakening has a weird affect on how we view time...
When we step into our ability to understand that we are a spiritual being having a human existence, we start to unravel the true meaning of time. What do I mean here? Well, essentially we begin to understand that time is just a consecutive version of "now". All that we are experiencing is just the "continuous now" that continues on into eternity. When viewed as such, time does not exactly exist in a linear fashion. Instead, we understand that all we are experiencing is happening simultaneously to a degree.
What does this concept of time have to do with spiritual awakening?
Spiritual awakening is the realization of our spiritual force within our human bodies. In the consideration of time, we step into an understanding that time and space are all happening at once. All of history is happening in this one moment. This instant of "now" is all that is happening and it echos throughout all of time and space. Of course, I understand that time and space are constant advancing studies in the realm of physics and spectrums of science. However, I am trying to approach this question from more of a philosophical notion rather than one of previous scientific advancement (although the two are symbiotic of course).
When we stop for a moment and reflect on "right now", we start to understand that this now is all that exists.
Why? We are an infinite being. We are all that there is inside of space and time. Collectively, we are a god-force that permeates every inch of our universe. Our collective consciousness extends out in all directions of time and space. When we understand that are a conglomerate of a collective mind that exists throughout all moments of history and the future inside of THIS moment, then we begin to grasp our power.
Do an experiment: let's stop and reflect on THIS moment that we are sharing together... You reading these words and me writing.
In this instant, we are joined in the only moment that exists. The continuous now.
What do you notice about this moment?
Is it "less" than anything? Is it greater than anything? Is it somehow undeserving? Is the you that exists in this moment somehow not capable of something? Is this moment striving for anything? Is there anything "bad" about this moment? Is there anything inherently good about it?
The more we reflect on this moment, the more we realize that this moment simply "is".
It simply exists.
It is all that there is.
And we share it together.
Spiritual awakening is when we step into full awareness of this moment and all that it involves. "This moment" is constantly staring us right in the face.
To take a more tactical perspective on this moment: whenever we want to make progress towards our goals, we constantly think of them as something to work towards... Starting a business in the future, getting a promotion down the road, losing weight over the next 90 days, creating healthier habits over the next month, etc. etc... All of these are goals for "the future".
What if we reframed goal setting entirely and began to understand that everything that will ever exist is right now?
Effectively, the "future" does not really exist.
"The future" is just a forward propulsion of what we are RIGHT NOW. As we continue to refine THIS moment into that ideal future, that ideal life, and that ideal moment, we begin to attract more of the moments that we seek to fill our reality with... As we habituate this moment into a moment that encapsulates all we hope to accomplish, we realize that all that we hope to accomplish in "the future" exists now.
We already have that imagined future because it exists right now. All we must do is step into that future.
That is why it so important to take immediate action to our goals... That is why taking action on our goals immediately works so well when we are trying to re-create our life into something more beautiful. We continue to mold THIS moment into the moment we hope that it becomes.
However, when we realize that change can happen immediately because "this moment" is all that exists, we understand our real potential. When we change this moment into a powerful, empowered, and profound moment, we line up all bodies of heaven and earth into a single point of synchronicity. Done at-scale across the entire planet, when we all collectively step into the power of "this moment", we will suddenly have a new planet... If we all align in a powerful moment of empowered synchronicity and unified consciousness, we can truly make "this moment" into something magical.
