The Magic of the Present Moment
Have you ever wondered what it means to live in ‘The Now’? Bentinho , offers us a unique perspective on this concept. He suggests that our journey through life, which seems to span billions of years and various experiences, is actually a continuous exploration of the present moment.
Imagine waking up from a dream. The events of the dream might seem important while you’re in it, but upon waking, they lose their significance. This is similar to how Ben describes our transition from physical to non-physical realms. We realize that what seemed vital in our physical life is just a small part of a larger, more beautiful existence.
At the core of this idea is the belief that all experiences, whether past, future, or parallel, happen in one eternal ‘now’. This may sound confusing, but think of it like this: every second, we’re viewing the same moment from different angles. There’s no separation between past, present, and future – it’s all happening right now.
This concept isn’t just philosophical; it has practical implications for how we live our lives. When we align ourselves with the present moment, we reduce the gap between our individual consciousness and the universal consciousness. This is what many spiritual practices aim to achieve.
Ben’s teachings remind us that while we may not consciously experience the absolute totality of all that is, we’re always a part of it through our individual consciousness. The realization that we’re part of this endless now can be liberating. It allows us to live with less fear, more joy, and a deeper sense of peace.
Interestingly, this perspective aligns with many spiritual teachings, including those found in the Bible. Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart.” This suggests that the concept of an eternal ‘now’ is something deeply ingrained in us.
So, how do we apply this in our daily lives? It’s about living each moment fully, understanding that each experience is a unique perspective on the eternal present. It’s about letting go of our attachment to past and future and embracing the beauty of the now.
Remember, as Ben says, “Life is everything. Life is complete. Life is a dance.” Let’s dance in the now, fully and fearlessly.
