Greetings folks, The time is getting near for
Growing Our Now* A Journey in Open Space Beyond Our Times November 15-18 A full invitation is available here - http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Oracle/9215/twinpines.htm What's it all about? The Millennium is a joke. Indeed the truly funny part is that we in the West take it so seriously. In fact, we (in the West) can't even get the story right. January 1, 2000 does not initiate the Millennium. That actually takes place a year later. So why all the fuss? What's the point? The point may well be that once again we are shooting ourselves in the foot - confusing OUR time with THE Time. Could it not be that OUR time is but one further example of our need for control and a pathetic reminder that we don't have it and cannot gain it? Our time. Our space. My time. My space. Things we struggle for, and sometimes die for. But at the end of the day, do we really own any of it? Perhaps it just a figment of our imagination, powerful to be sure, and occasionally useful? But a figment for all of that. What we truly have - all of us in every part of the planet and all beings in the cosmos beyond - is Now. Time and Space divide. Now unites. Nobody owns it, and truthfully, Now is all there is. We are quite clear that the past is over and the future hasn't happened yet. What we have is Now. And how big is now? Your Now, My Now. Our Now? Some of us, and probably most of us some of the time, have very skinny little nows. We struggle constantly to fit everything in. And the more we struggle the smaller now becomes. Things just don't fit, and Time Management is a exercise in futility. Simplifying our lives is certainly a possibility. If only we could eliminate all those "must dos" - and truthfully, how many of them are really essential? There is an alternative. Why not grow Now? Barry and I invite you to join us, along with friends and colleagues who may become friends, to explore the possibilities, and maybe even realize some results - a growing Now. There is no magic formula, nor secret path. It is really all about becoming what we already are. Creatures in the now (and here) limited only by our willingness to expand our awareness.
