the right time
a place for everything
the present moment of now
the right timing
a time for everything
When is the right time the right time? Is there a right place for everything?

In the Christian bible in the Old Testament, there is an interesting verse about time, and about things happening at the right time. This might also infer that there is also the right place for things to happen within too.
Some things will not happen then until the timing is right for them to happen, and certain happenings should not (or maybe won't, or can't?) take place within the "wrong" environment for them to take place within.
Here is the relevant verse form the bible:
Ecclesiastes chapter 3, New International Version (NIV)
"There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens."
Is this really true though?
And if so, who, or what is it that makes the time and the place for anything?
Is it ourselves, or perhaps God that makes this right time and the right place for us?
Can we recognise when we match or meet up with the right time, and the right place, and so act at the right time, doing what is right for us to do in this particular time and place?
Time and place of course are variables, but the one constant is love, and which is forever available to all.
You can love anywhere and at any time, so this verse from the bible is not a blanket statement of truth, but more an observation or pointing out that when you are ready things appear, and so then you can take (or you are given the opportunity to take) your next step forwards in your growth towards truth.
On the other hand though, if everything happens now, within the present moment though, how can timing even ever be an issue?
Nothing happens now in a way, because all has happened in God first now already, and then his timing sets in and kicks it off into action in his world.
When I said in God here, it means in a part of him too, including within our soul, and so our soul times these events to take place for us in the physical world, all sequentially arranged to allow us the best opportunity to learn the ropes there about love, God, and truth.
What do you think?
Is there a right time for things to happen, and a right place for things to take place within?

I think when we do our part then things fall in place.
Nothing can happen for free. We should be mature enough, deserving, to make them happen.
We are living within our time here and so it is sort of a journey with things happening at various stopovers along our way to our destination

Where do things fall into place from then?
Maybe everything really happens all at once, or does it?
Time, I suspect, is only an added on appendage to the reality of only now, or to the present.
This allows, in a way, for now to be stretched by our minds, for convenience reasons, even as to which Einstein was referring too here, and yet this is done because we (most of us anyway) age in a karma-controlled body, because of this karma.
Love itself never ages, and love is timeless.
Karma must be timed, if we are not to be dumped upon by it, as usually happens when things fall into place for us like this.
Anything that falls into place is being controlled by our karma.
We should put things in their place by being creatively alive and not creatively poisoned.
Things stay in their place then, because they are not pushed away by our own karmic making responses.
(I have played along opposite lines here siva, but I do get the gist of your comments, I just wanted to open up the playing field a bit more)

@Shiva49 I haven't seen the Bard's full quote for a while, perhaps since high school...LOL
Time solves most problems, or it seems to, but if karma is true, perhaps even time has a nasty sting in its tail, in our tale to entail, or perhaps more to impale us with...again..LOL....

@innertalks I cannot but recall the famous words of the Bard:
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
So we go on and on even puking all our lives groaning how unfair the world around us is and asking for a better place - but to do what? Maybe, as go-getters with God in control and also telling us lovingly to stretch our legs and enjoy our times!
Time also helps along to get us out of our misery and not overstay our welcome! siva

I always hear that things happen in a right time and at a right place and with a reason . Even for a time being we cant understand but later on we do and infer why. Living in this world which is being measured by time and space. It us i guess to decide now is the right time and i am in the right place and i have to live my life now.

Yes, I have heard that too, there is a reason for everything that happens.
Is there really a reason why everything happens though, and if so why?
The world is the world and love is love and God is God in his own creation, loving all. His reason for creation was to love and behind every one of our reasons is this love too in a way. We just need to dig a little deeper into what is happening for us, or to us, to see this.
And this is so even in the so called atrocities of life: these happen to turn the world further from its state of compost into friable soil, at a later turn of the tide, again later.
All serves love, and is serving love, and is a part of God's overall purpose for his creation, no matter what it looks like now.

@innertalks we are part of Gods creation. The special one. As we can read in the book of Genesis. Well, am not religious but i can say God is the alpha and omega and He is everywhere. He created us according to His own image and likeness because of his love to us. In my understanding. I am a co creator too. It is us who created our life everyday unknowingly. Whether it is bad or good whatever the outcome of our doings everyday it is the result of our daily living.
It is hard to dig harder because i believe life is a great mystery. And i believe it too that cruelty of life is the result of our minds unstopable negative imagination. For what we conceive in our mind will manifest into reality whether we like it or not. It is a result in general. thats why God always remind us to plant love. Plant goodness.

@sardonyx777 Is our mind's imagination really unstoppable? Is our daily living really that important to us, or not?
To my understanding, our imagination has not much to do with our mind.
Our imagination stems from our intuition, or it comes from our intuitive inner body, or from this part of our higher self, and intuition is our higher self's way of operating, or communicating to us.
This is why we should never block our intuition.
Our intuition is opening up our imagination within us, and this bridge of imagination is then linking us directly to our intuitional body, or bringing it's communications to us, across to our mind, so that we might receive them as helpful thoughts then in our brains.
Daily living is a part of it all, but the greater part of our life, to me, is our daily learning, which we gain from these experiences of life, with life, within life.
