The Instant

From the moment we open our eyes in the morning our programming already begins.

Everyone considers his or her personal memory as the most real thing and their memories, their own past, as the root of their life. People would and could never be able to renounce this idea. However, our memory is deceitful; they are programmed in the now and occur in an instant.

Just as the imagination of the future.

We see the world as we think it is, through our own belief system. In an instant, our convictions create all that we think is our past and our future. In that moment, there is the programming of all that has been and all that will be. They are as we imagine them to be.

Everything that you are now, you have always been and will always be.

Remembering is imagining and imagining is remembering. Both are the fruits of the same moment.

Only in the moment, only in the now can we free our memory and enter a world of non-programming. Learn to return to the moment!

Everything that you will ever need is present in an instant. In this instant, we can create our past and our future. We can programme our happiness, our beauty, our joie de vivre or we can programme, in the opposite way, our unhappiness, poverty. The instant is the reign of the dream and the dream is the reign of the now where one does not imagine or remember. The moment is the root of the universe. The world rejoices with us if we rejoice. ..It lives if we live and dies if we die.

Time cannot understand the moment. Time cannot express eternity. From the moment we open our eyes in the morning our programming already begins. Our memory induces us to believe that we have a past and a future, we believe that there is a beginning and an end to everything. The world represents itself like a mirror image of this agenda. Programming is the death of being. Now, in this moment, I am the richest, the happiest man in the world. Who can prevent this? What can impose a limit on something that has no limit? What makes us ignorant? What blinds our sight? What makes us so small? Poor? Moreover, unhappy? Planning, reminiscing, our past, our future, planning is time.

How is it possible to believe that the world is creating itself now and that there has never been a moment before or after the now?

When we are convinced that yesterday we did something or that something occurred, we store it in our memories and for this very reason, it is impossible for us to think that nothing has actually happened and that it is happening now, in the moment.

The sketch we have inside ourselves is creating the past and the future, right this very instant, in the immensity of this moment. Past and Future are the same reality. The one is imaginary just as the other. Our belief system, believing in programming, deceives us into believing that we encounter and do the things that we have stored in our memory ordained by time.

The idea that the past and future are the same things and that both are the projections of a moment, is a powerful idea that is able to imply at every step what to do and how to act accordingly.

Enter into the now — become carte blanche — without a past and future, like a computer that needs to be programmed.

The moment is void, the ground that you can plant all that you want. Plant the seeds of wellbeing, of beauty. They will be your gatherings. For a humanity however, that thinks and feels negatively, it is much easier to plant seeds of fear and worry. The world reflects this and gives back only weeds.

Study your memories

If you observe them then eradicate the power they hold on you. When you do not project yourself you access your intuition, dreams, poetry, music and art, the bridges between awareness and apparent reality, are born. You discover that nothing exists outside the moment. You are the only one there. It is this realization that allows us to build a universe and to then contain and possess it.
