LAW OF THREE (29) Time-Space-Eternity

LAW OF THREE (29)

TIME-SPACE-ETERNITY (1)

"Discover that all that exists is this moment. Life is always now. Your whole life unfolds in this constant now. Even past and future events exist only when you remember or anticipate them. And you can only do so by thinking about them in this only moment that exits... (now) Mistaking the present moment with its contents gives birth not only to the illusion of time, but also to the illusion the ego"

Eckhart Tolle

Time-space-eternity are the three conditions of existence. We perceive them as the changing, the unchanging and the reconciling dimensions in oneself.

We experience the nature of time by the movements of thinking. When we cannot become aware of the dimension of space in our lives,  we are engulfed by thoughts and do not notice the space in which the film of our imaginary life is projected  (we are unaware of the underlying presence of the unchanging.)

The awareness of the ever present space gives depth to the witnessing observer. Our sense of identity changes. We may perceive space in its spontaneous arising, between one desire and the next; when one desire has been satisfied and the next one has not yet appeared. But the brief interval is insufficient to realise or notice the inner significance of the experience.

The perception of eternity is the perception of presence.  It is the I AM,  ever present in the absence of the ego. 

"Life is real only then, when I am" G. I. Gurdjieff
