Student Q&A with Guy on "Stop Reincarnating the Past and Realize Your Timeless True Self" (12/12/21)

  • Posted: Sunday, December 12, 2021
  • Meeting: Sunday, December 12, 2021

  • Duration: 29min 58sec

Topics Covered
  • The consciousness that creates separation cannot know immortality.
  • "It is wise to seek immortality because time defeats all other ambitions." -- Vernon Howard
  • Living from a part of yourself that passes itself off as the whole is the same as living in time.
  • Thought creates the illusion of time along with the self that seeks for completion through possessions found in time.
  • "Human beings perish because they are not able to join their beginning to their end."
  • To be reborn is to enter into the greater Time that everyday time comes out of.
  • Who we are now is the outcome of all that we have done to try to not be "here." The experience of where we are cannot be separated from what/who we are in that moment.
  • "Yesterday, I was clever so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself." -- Jalal al-Din Rumi
  • Everything that is in time has come into being and is the expression of something that is timeless.
  • An active disturbance is necessary in order to make known what is laying passively within you. There is no other way to become aware of it.
  • "The way to life is to be awakened. Fools who sleep are already dead. But the master who remains awake lives forever." -- Buddha
  • What we presently call the "here and now" is a sense of self within a consciousness that reincarnates itself. That is not the Timeless "here and now."
  • It is not the condition that repeats itself. What repeats itself is the consciousness that identifies with conditions.
  • Self tries to find immortality through the things of time.
  • The past is the consciousness that repeats itself in its attempt to become something real and everlasting.
  • Anyone who tells you what to do with your life is stealing your life so that they can feel special.
  • All judgment is the reincarnation of the past as it perceives the present moment and compares it to how things should be in its imagination.

Watching Time Run On Without Me

I don't want to walk in my own footsteps anymore.

A fog I could never see before has lifted, and now I see where these footsteps lead: nowhere.

I know now -- as disturbing as is all such insight -- that along this line through my life...the future is the past, and I've already been to both of these places.

Even so, I can sense, distinctly -- as if all around me -- that I am caught in the rush of time to come. It almost feels like a riptide: inexorable, pulling and pushing on me at the same time, so much so that it takes all of my effort, all of my attention, just to hold my ground.

And yet, for a moment or two... I am.

I am... no longer half a man whose half a life is laid out for him along pre-calculated lines of time.

I am here, no longer being carried off... to there.

Perhaps I will linger here for a while, holding my ground, and -- as best I can -- watch time run on without me.
