360 Degrees of Mindful Living

Take Your Timeless Time, Now, Not Later

By Pavel G. Somov, Ph.D.

Dorion Sagan writes in Biospheres:

There is no history… nor future… but only always the language-filled present.  Linguistic convention creates the illusion of time’s arrow… We are steeped in the medium we discuss.

There was a time when I wouldn’t’ve had a clue as to what Sagan means to say with this thought.  But, thankfully, with ceaseless introspections and meditations, I have figured it out.

Have you?

I hope you have.

Insights such as these – in my opinion – cannot be taught.  These revelations have to be personally and immediately discovered.  And once personally understood, they are forever crystallized and deepened.

You know what I am saying?

If so, good for you.  If not yet, worry not: you’ve got the rest of your life to figure it all out.  So, take your timeless time!

Now, of course, not later!

Resources: your mind, of course, and ordinary perfection of all that currently is
