Poetry: In the moment of now, time dies.

Thanks. I started off thinking that the now was too hard to explain, and to know what it was, but perhaps poetry can capture its meaning best. So I wrote a poem, rather than an article.

@innertalks Glad you have that writing skill. I mean not everyone has the ability to write a poem.

@yanzalong Yes, thanks. When I started writing for these writing sites around fifteen years ago, I would have thought that I could never have written a poem either. Practice helps, and you can write poetry, even if the English is not so good, it's all a part of the poem...lol... "Enigmity" of thought is not usually the way to use the word, as the usual word is enigma, or enigmatic. I like making up/using such unusual words in poems.

Thank you. I usually keep a copy of my writing offline too. So many of these writing platforms close down over time, and the writing might be lost otherwise.

@innertalks I have never been to heaven and so I have no idea how things work there. I can only wonder but no way to verify if I was right or wrong. I will have to wait for future revelations.

Well, life seems to be getting shorter and shorter, or faster and faster. I do not know if that is because we are not living in the moment, or not, or if generally, the real moment, of Jesus Christ returning might be approaching sooner now, so to speak. You ask a good question though. If there is really only the present moment, why does our life have a length? This might be answered by us asking another question. What type of time occurs in heaven, if any? I would posit that in heaven the moments are compiled, not in time, but in the secrecy of its happening, in God, so to speak. (It is not a sequency, because secrecy means hidden, not obvious to anyone, but to God, who sees all.) This means that all happens at the same time, but in a holographic way, so that the hologram is continually spiralling inwards and outwards, and the movement feels like time, but really isn't.

@1hopefulman Can you be sure that you have never been to Heaven, though? The Bible hints that we all began there. [b][/b] New International Version "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." This is God, talking to Jeremiah. Who is to say that we are any different to this? Now if God knows us before we are born. Where does he know us from? The obvious answer is that he knew us when we were in Heaven, with him as soul, or spirit, even before we were born. God sent us here, like Jeremiah, for a purpose, and a reason then, it seems. And so, we have to win our place back into Heaven again, by fulfilling this mission, purpose, here, by loving God enough to fulfil this will of his for our lives here on the Earth.

@innertalks No worries.

Thanks for reading my efforts here.

Yes, thanks siva. If all is well in the present, the future will take care of itself, and the past has already done so.

Love, to be whole, must live in the now of now, otherwise, it is being stretched out of now, and parts of it are being held by our mind, instead of it remaining all (focussed) in our heart. This is because we are reaching into the past or the future, and holding some of the energy of love there. This is ok at times of reminiscing, and thinking to our self, but when we are loving or connecting to another person, we need to give them our whole self, as our whole heart, and so, in this way, we do not let the now drift away into our thoughts or mind, as this will lessen the energy of love being given/shared, to that other person, at that present precious moment of time, known as the "now".

@innertalks I like to pour myself into the present moment gaining strength from the past that is embedded into my state of being. The future is unknown but doing what I can takes care of the reverses. Loving life will assure living the moments wherever, whenever, and with whoever - siva
