The Past is a Moment

Thought for the Week -

It's funny the way words are sometimes put into our mouths just to provide an answer for the person we are talking to.

While talking about our many past lives my pal said "The past is just a moment". How could that be? "Well, look at all your past now. How long does it take? Just a moment. When you look at your past now you can see it all now in this moment. Now all your past is a moment."

Our further discussions confirmed that this viewpoint is pretty close to Soul's view which lives in the now, this present moment. So if we are looking at all we have done and gone through from Soul's point of view it really doesn't appear very important as it is only a moment. That takes away a lot of the anxiety and worry we often attach to the events in our lives. Yes, they are important and have to be dealt with appropriately but when we leave this world it will only be valued later as a moment. While we live life and deal with its challenges, in the overall scheme of things it really is just a moment, so don't worry too much about it. It's just a moment we have to go through. As the last line of the U2 song Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of says "It's just a moment, this time will pass." (See the video below).

I was thrilled to be shown how to see such a vast expanse of time as a moment.
