Why am I happy? I have no more time, no more future. This is a talk on time and how it holds us prisoner running on its treadmill like a rat. When we give up our obsession with time, we are just here. When we give up time, we give up our compulsive identity with our thinking. Thinking is time. Thinking is movement in the mind, and movement is time. But what is that which is aware of thinking? 

Is space movement? Is space time? Obviously not, since space does not move. So what is that space of background awareness that notices thinking? The timeless. The timeless is, therefore, within you as the background of your time bound thinking that moves through your mind like a column of ants. You ARE the Timeless, yet you work in time. 

We get into trouble when we search for our Timeless Self in time, which means we are looking for it in the future, since it is not here in time. The timeless that we long for is in the future. So…..give up the future and BAM! you are now timeless. Oh, what a relief it is! Just let go…

Awaken Insight Meditation

AIM is a website where I share my Dharma Insights in my everyday mind. My daily experiences are metaphors that point to the Truth that is One. Paths are many, but the Dharma is One. I invite you to walk with me on my journey. I also invite you to enter into creative dialogue with the post, for then we push it forward and get some traction in our life.
