As one studies the ancient texts of civilizations past, a common thread runs through almost all. Unfortunately, the Christian tradition has dumbed-down that same promise into a “rapture mentality” wherein every who has not adhered to certain beliefs (theirs of course) are destined to being wiped out forever. The other civilizations see an end time of PROMISE! I like their idea better.
I think that is the real Christian tradition also!
What matters though is not so much of what is down the road but what we are doing with the NOW that tomorrow is today. We have many choices in how we can live our life this moment as you read these digital words. What are you experiencing, where were you before you landed here, and where do you have to be next?
That’s what the EGO is consumed in reminding all of us. Live in the past with all of your multiple guilts. Live in the future with all your pent up anxieties. But whatever you do, don’t stop to savor the moment, to enjoy the NOW. Only in the NOW are we alive and have access to the divine within us and within life in general. May we overcome the tugs and demands of our false self which is ultimately self-destructive, full of narcissistic dreams, and ambitions drives.
We can change course!
And the more people that do so, the greater we begin to build on the PROMISE of ancient days. There is so much that we’re not aware. Take time out to see how long it takes you to see a butterfly. I watched several today and I was reminded of the legendary butterfly effect. It tells us that if a monarch butterfly flaps its wings in California, it creates a tiny air fluctuation that amplifies and amplifies and ends by creating a storm over Magnolia.
How I love such legends, such thoughts, such mysticism.
Such reality of the moments that hastens “the Promise“.
