The Moment Vs The Eternity







[A Note on the Nature of the Post: 'U' certified. ;o) This post u may not find entertaining. Even u may find these ideas insane. It is a long, boring thought process I tried to capture in this post ;o) . Some of the ideas were induced when I was watching a Richard Linklater movie Waking Life, and so I am acknowledging it.
Guys, the next post will be an entertaining stuff, probably a non-fiction fragment of my experiences with the working of the system.]

Time is an illusion

Its an abrupt beginning of the topic. Anyways. When u think of any past event or u plan something for future… well.. realize that its just in your head. Those Not-Really-Existing.. just in forms of some chemical compositions and its changes to some other chemical compositions in your mind.

So, what is real is THIS MOMENT. This very moment , the present one, is the only reality. Rest all do not exist in reality. Well, I am not saying that its wrong to plan the future and look back at the past, without which u can not do anything either. That’s how the whole system works. But I am saying that, be aware of the ‘reality’ of ‘non-reality’ of those things when you have got to get along with them.

So, what’s the point?? How it will make any difference?? When its not wrong and it’s the way system operates.. well why to read all these on a page of insane blogger?

Yah you are right, well let me extend this idea of mine to some pointworhty extent… may be will find a clue, may be not. If nothing comes out, than u can take it as a piece of fiction, a TIME- pass article. ;o)

So, I said, the only reality is the present moment. You may think of it as moment, which is passing by. Passing by, as I am pressing the keys on the keyboard, or as you are reading it further. Wait… you are wrong.. here is the point. Nothing is “passing-by” actually. Well…consider this…. U think, you reach next moment to this one…. and this very moment will be a memory and the next one will be the reality. The next one, which really doesn’t exist at present and only non-real now. So going by this thought, it seems that there is something which makes some non-real things REAL, and some real things NON REAL. Well the point is that, this thought process is wrong. A thing which is real will always be real, and something non real will never be real. This triggers a new idea. And the idea is “nothing is passing by”. No moment is passing by.... The present one is the only moment which is ever existing. From the beginning of this universe and till the eternity, the only thing which really exists is the present moment. Actually the ‘present moment’ IS ‘the eternity’, the ever-existent. This exists in reality, as the next one will, and as the past one existed. And when u look at the this concept, its clear that nothing is flowing actually.. nothing is passing by.. There is no TIME in reality but only a conceptual entity devised to make manipulation on the system work easily. Time is an illusion. A concept created in thought just to bring sequence to images of thoughts. Actually there is only ONE INSTANT, and that’s RIGHT NOW.. and the ETRNITY. No past and no future… the only one instant, the NOW. Time is just “the constant saying of NO” to the invitation of being United to the Almighty. Invitation given by The Almighty. U say yes any moment …..and its all, the illusion of time will vanish. Everyone’s story is saying ultimately yes, after saying constant NOs, life after after life… death after death.


The motivation of all this

The motivation of this illusion… it seems like someone is trying to hide the reality, making us forget what is real… making us to be in illusion and to forget the god!! Ooops .. did I used the word God… another controversy…. Ohh poor controversial me! Well words are, u know, lifeless, and meaningless until they get their life. But how an inert word gets its life?? I mean when I say GOD.. it means something to me.. and possibly it can not mean the same thing to u. It mean something-else to you. Like.. u may you’re your different picture of the inert word god, which comes to life when you ‘Associate’ your experiences, assumptions and presumptions , your memory of the word GOD to this word. Or your lack of memory to the word… anything. That’s how a word gets life. IN YOUR MIND.

I managed to slip out of the topic somehow, I think. Yah I was talking about the motivation, the ultimate reason of this blinding illusion. And yah the term ‘god’, or whatsoever term. By thas term I meant ‘YOU’. yah… it doesn’t matter… I use the ‘GOD’ or I use ‘YOU’. Ultimate motivation of all this, it seems, something/someone/some-entity is posing these illusions to make yourself forget about U/ the GOD and be trapped in the matrix of memories, dreams and experiences. Making you Believe in the form of ‘YOU’ which is non real… which is really not original ‘YOU’.. which is not the God. Who (or what) is this entity?? Why the hell it’s doing so? The most appropriate word I found for this entity is (don’t lough) THE TIME. ;o) … word TIME, as in acceptance with this philosophy in hindi literature, is word KAAL. Ohh….. will stop all this now. That will be a good topic for some future post… a distant future though. (…as in your definition of time. For me.. I will prefer to say, I will make TIME/KAAL , the topic of some post IN THE SAME EVER-EXISTING MOMENT. ;o) )

Even after writing these.. I know I am the illusioned one… I have no confidence that I can come out of this illusion…. As long as I have to be in the system I can not come out of this illusion. Can u see, this is the ‘self imposed limitation’ of me… limitation I made myself. The salvation lies in the ‘Realization’ that there are no such limitations.. neither self imposed nor imposed by others. The moment I start believing, that being in the system doesn’t have anything to do with breaking the illusion, I will break free. Well ….or I will break the system itself. I am still the ‘Unrealized-one’. But I am in bliss, over its “my-version” of interpretation at least. Well said… ignorance is bliss.

No moment is passing by.... The present one is the only moment which is ever existing.
