No Time- Monday, December 3, 2007

It really doesn’t exist, this time, so we’re told. Yet we live in it, in the past or the future, occasionally in the present. When we are totally in the Present we feel out of time, which we are.

Whisperings from The Council last night were about the fallacy of time. The Trees don’t live in time, they are always present. The animals don’t live in time, they too are present. They are always breathing, supposedly they don’t hold their breath like humans do. Maybe this is a clue!

Often when we get upset, we hold our breath, trying to suppress our feelings. I often encourage my clients to breathe in their feelings and tears and anger. Breathe it in, it’s yours. We are mature enough now, we can claim what we feel, hold ourselves in kindness and compassion. We can move from reactive to responsive behavior, treating ourselves as we would have others treat us. The ‘love your neighbor as yourself’ thing again. No love for self, no love for others. We all want to love others and especially to be loved by others so much. Somehow it’s backwards. We think it’s selfish, but it is self-FULL and necessary to clear the traumas of the past and come back into the present. So many tears are based on the beliefs formed by what happened in the past. We wish someone could make it right for us. Someone can- it’s US. Now we can learn to go forward, into the present. We stop manifesting outer dramas when we give ourselves the attention and acceptance that we need.

There is a magic that happens when we get out of time and come into our present. We can stay there when we feel safe and safety comes from being willing to be with ourselves as stuff comes up. No it’s not easy! But it works.

The Trees say get out of time, it’s an illusion. Come into YOUR LIFE, breathe in the presence of who you are.

Blessings,

Laurel
