We are experiencing reality in a certain way. Our brains receive input through our senses and hammer it into a certain shape. And all our brains have agreed on what shape this reality should take. It works for each of us as an individual. And it works for us all together as a whole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the things that the hammer of our brain does is give shape to time. This helps us as individuals and as a group. But, time is malleable. It can be perceived and shaped in any infinite number of ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And our brains have decided to shape time in a way that keeps us all as individuals in this period of time we can call “The Never Ending Now”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, all of time exists all at once. Everything that happened, is happening and will happen is all happening in the same instant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are not in the present moment solely. You are in all of time. You always have been and always will be. You are part of a continuum along with everybody else. You might be able to sense this as quiet whispers that come to you from our shared past and our shared future. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
