Your right - existence is magical! And try to see that the past and future are just mental words and images in your mind.
That curiosity that you get when raising your consciousness will get you back to this happy and free state that you experienced as a child, where you had no expectations about reality or notion of whats going to happen whatsoever.
As Leo once said:
Enlightenment is not about knowing. It's about not knowing so deeply that it goes full circle into a profound non linguistic knowing.
