Everything happens now

[dharm4]

It’s very simple. All that exists already exists. When? It is ALL one instant. And there is only one ‘thing’. It just is. It is not this or that, but just is, not as any particular thing. Now, to experience itself, it has to have relationship, duality. But there is no ‘other’, so how is this possible? Well, it has the capacity to reflect (like thinking or dreaming or imagining, choose your word). What EVERYTHING is, is this one ‘thing’ (No-Thing, really) reflecting upon itself. This means it is basically viewing itself from infinite angles. Each instant is an angle, or a perspective. You may think you are a human viewing things, but really you are this no-thing viewing itself, now and now and now and now and now. Each now is the same now, experienced from a different angle (perspective). This shift in perspective is what change is, and it happens constantly.

So, all exists simultaneously, and all that’s going on is no-thing is viewing itself (reflecting upon itself) like this, then like that, then like this etc. Like a film strip in which the beginning middle and end are all present, but each picture on the strip stands independently. Yet if you view the pictures in a particular order, it’ll look like someone is living a life

It’s brilliant! It’s creation. Perhaps at first this can be very uncomfortable, can feel like death, cos it’s all so very empty. You don’t really exist…. oops. But, well, you don’t really exist as a person in time, is far more accurate. Eventually you cannot be other than this no-thing reflecting upon itself, experiencing itself, for there is no other thing really. It’s all the same one thing, on every fractal level of itself. You are it, exploring yourself, writing stories, making art out of no-thing! It is what is looking at these words right now. It is changeless, while its thoughts (reflections) are forever changing.

There’s no hurry to get anywhere, there’s no one you need to be. Eternity will take all of eternity to experience itself, and eternity is forever NOW.

You can play it however you want it, or just watch it passing by like the film it is. I find that usually life calls me to be an active participant but you might find otherwise….

It is not a hypothetical scenario, as the topic above suggest, but the actuality of What Is.

Thank you, @dharm4 for sharing your insights. I deeply resonate with it.

@dharm4 @Leo Gura Yet the "Effect" would be the same if there was a mechanical world. (and it is in a sense) The actual experience of this No thing plays out as it would if there was matter and separation. That's the beauty of it.
