Now is the doorway to peace, rest, love and newness. Our mind keeps us trapped in the past and future by constant stream of thoughts. In this meditation, we will relax into the now and learn to dismiss the thoughts that keep us trapped in time. We will learn to trust that Now space as our friend and beloved.

Hello and welcome.

This is Susita.

In this session,

We will explore the space of the Eternal Now.

It is seen that we live three lives,

The past life,

The future life and the present life.

And the surprising aspect of it is,

The past and the future are given supreme importance and the present is treated as a means to an end.

In reality,

There is only the Eternal Now.

The past is only thoughts,

Images and emotions.

The future is also the past.

The past is a memory and the future is an imagination.

Can you really go back to the past and live it?

Can you really go into the future and live it?

No.

The past and the future have the reality only in the mind.

So what is the point in spending so much time and energy in something that doesn't even exist?

We spend so much time and energy because our ego-self exists only in time.

So it always either goes to the past or goes into the future.

In the now,

The ego sinks into the heart and it is not present.

So it is a strategy of the ego-self to survive that makes us continuously be obsessed with the past and the future.

But we can be aware of this and break this obsession with time and realise the grace of the Divine Now.

God is here now.

When thought stops,

You feel yourself completely one with the Eternal Now and God is here now.

We have been waiting for God to come into time and heal our life.

But it does not work like that,

Friends.

We need to step into the Eternal Now where everything can be healed and Divine Grace can enter our life.

We need to step into the Infinite.

We cannot wait for God to come into the finite life.

The Now is the space where healing happens.

Now is the space where God is.

Now is the space where peace,

Love and happiness reside.

Step into the Now.

Be the Now.

Now is the place for new possibilities.

Now is the space of love.

Now close your eyes.

With your eyes closed you experience yourself as an open,

Empty,

Aware,

Awake space.

Explore the space of your own being.

Notice that the space has no boundaries,

No dimensions.

It has no divisions.

Keep exploring the space.

Be aware of this Now space.

This Now space is the Eternal Now.

This is the reality,

The substratum of all life.

Sense the aliveness,

The presence.

It is empty of form but it is filled with a life,

A Divine life.

Notice that the space of the Now is the space of the Now.

This is your true identity.

You are this space of Now.

Whenever you stop thought,

You choose to not follow thought and notice the silence,

You will recognize that I am this space of Now.

I am this Eternal Now.

As you sit with this recognition,

A thought might arise about the past or about the future.

Simply recognize that it is just a thought.

The past is memory and the future is imagination.

Both are not here now.

Both are not alive now.

So let them come and go.

They do not impact the space of the Now.

But if you follow the thought and believe the thought,

You will give reality to the past and the future.

You will experience a contraction.

You will experience suffering.

So simply see them as thoughts,

Images and come back to the space of the Now.

So every time you hear me say space of the Now,

If you are engaged in thought,

Bring your awareness back to the space of this Now.

Space of the Now.

Space of the Now.

Space of the Now.

Just be aware of the space,

The silence,

The peace which is there in the Eternal Now.

Space of the Now.

Space of the Now.

Space of the Now.

Space of the Now.

There is no need to concentrate.

There is no need to focus.

It is just a gentle awareness that the space is already here,

A knowing,

A relaxation.

Space of the Now.

Space of the Now.

Space of the Now.

Gently be aware that as this beautiful infinite Now space,

You have no past or future.

As the Now space,

You have no name,

No gender,

No nationality.

As the Now space,

You are perfect.

You have nothing to heal or nothing to overcome.

You are total and complete.

As the Now space,

You are not dependent on time for your fulfilment.

You complete here and now.

You are peaceful here and now.

Time binds us.

The Now frees us.

The ego-self lives in time.

The Divine Self is the Now.

The Now is the space for new possibilities.

You have treated time as your friend.

Now look at this Eternal Now as your friend,

As your comforter,

As your beloved.

Give the Now importance.

Give the Now value.

Thank you and I wish you many blessings.

This is so deceptively powerful! I’ve listened to this meditation several times before, but today the message of the ‘past and future are the ego mind and the now is the divine’ really hit me. My ego has been so resistant to that message. I spend most of my time in the past and future, a lot of that time working on accessing the divine. NOW I know just where to find it! :) Thank you, Susitha, for another crucial recognition!
