âActually, there's only one instant, and it's right now, and it's eternity. And it's an instant in which God is posing a question, and that question is basically, 'Do you want to, you know, be one with eternity? Do you want to be in heaven?' And we're all saying, 'No thank you. Not just yet.' And so time is actually just this constant saying 'No' to God's invitation. I mean that's what time is. I mean, and it's no more 50 A.D. than it's two thousand and one. And there's just this one instant, and that's what we're always in. This is the narrative of everyone's life. That, you know, behind the phenomenal difference, there is but one story, and that's the story of moving from the ânoâ to the âyes.â All of life is like, âNo thank you. No thank you. No thank you.â Then ultimately it's, âYes, I give in. Yes, I accept. Yes, I embrace.â I mean, that's the journey. I mean, everyone gets to the âyesâ in the end, right?â - Waking Life, Chapter 18 âTrapped in a Dreamâ P/ @bbarreto . . . #katebelmont #hautesauce #wakinglife #luciddreaming #trappedinadream #awakening #timetowakeup #eternityisnow #illusion #death #transformation #souljourney #model #portrait #portraitphotography #longbeach #brunette #pretty (at Long Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtgAZypAnub/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s6ytqbt9x6k1
