Gita Passage

O Arjuna, I am aware of the creatures of the past, present, and the future;

But Me no one knows.

Be a Liberated Being - God Knows All Past, Present, and Future Happenings - Live in His Ever-Joyous Now

If you are a dreamer with a good memory, you can relive in your mind a past dream. It might have been one in which you had a heated argument with your brothers. You would be aware of all the details of your dream, but your dream brothers would possess no such memories.

The Cosmic Dreamer, on the other hand, possessing omniscient memory and omnipresence, is aware not only of His present cosmic dreams, but of all that went on within Him in the past, and of all that is going to happen within Him in the future - appearing and disappearing in His spaceless, timeless consciousness of an eternal present. But, alas, none of the transient, living, sentient human beings in this cosmic dream (except those who are liberated saints) are aware of the unchangeable light of Cosmic Consciousness that creates, within its omniscience, the cosmic dream pictures of all time.

Gods Talks With Arjuna p 700

“People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”

Albert Einstein

*Meditate on God’s concept of time whenever you become impatient or worried about events in your personal life or in the larger context of society. Anxiety about what may happen causes constriction of intuitive faculties for progress. Imagine your place in the Infinite Consciousness of God. While you calmly plan your future and reflect upon your past, remember that when you attune to God, you are situated perfectly in His ever-joyous present. BeHereNow. Annie

Evil is present with me. - Romans 7:21

But what a mercy that it does not reign in you, and over you; it did once, and would now but for free and sovereign grace. If sin makes you groan, leads you to the throne to plead with God, and to the fountain of the Saviour's blood to be cleansed from it, it does not, it cannot reign.

It may disturb your peace, distress your mind, hinder you in duty, mix with all your efforts to do good; and even make you cry out, "O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me?" But even then you should not doubt. Jesus still loves you, grace will reign in your experience, and you shall be more than a conqueror. Paul had known the Lord many years, he had been in the third heaven, and daily triumphed in Christ; yet he felt just as you feel; when he would do good evil was present with him, and he could not do the things that he would.

If sin annoys you, if it is your burden, and causes you grief; holiness lives in you, and the present painful conflict will end in everlasting peace. You may even now sing, "Thanks be unto God, who giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ." Live upon Christ, and you will live down all evil.

I know not what brought me to

this space, this time-

I only know a divination, a culmination,

(conflagration?)

a long lonely road that intersects

with desire, to be in

this here, this now, without fear,

without regret, ready for

the next hurrah, long after

the trumpets fall silent,

expectant of my own

bloody haruspices,

hoping they lead the way

to understanding,

heretofore undiscovered

(lost?)

by the cataracted
