Thank you, Ragna, for this site. My practice of saying "this is heaven" to every event, feeling, experience I have in time seems to be opening my soul to this knowing.
Love, ,joy and fun,
Michael

What is the First Instant?
The first instant can be described simply as
this vast unbounded presence. It is completely
indescribable yet all talk is not about anything
other than this presence.
The first instant is all there is.
There are actually no limitations to this space
of knowing (which you are). If you explore it,
it simply opens up more and more as this
unfolding first instant of knowing.
As this moment unfolds before you, there is a
‘space of knowing’ in which everything unfolds.
We call this unfolding, ‘time’.
If you stay quietly present to this subtle unfolding
of time, you may notice that everything of this
unfolding is registering clearly within this space
of knowing. It never budges. It has no qualities
of coming or going to it. It is as if this space of
knowing is absolutely still. The scale of these
movements or unfolding vary from large and
obvious movements down to very subtle
impressions of change.
All of these impressions are registering on
awareness without causing any change to the
space of knowing.
This clear open cognizing is the first instant of
knowing.
Without a thought or story being attached to this
open cognition, it remains clear and without
hindrance.
When the mind latches onto some movement in
this unfolding, a fixation takes our attention into
a mind realm. This can be called inadvertence.
We tend to be less present to the unmediated
registration of direct cognition. In retrospective
analysis, it appears that we had gone into the
mind’s matrix.
However, in the first instant of direct cognition,
what we truly are has never gone anywhere.
We are the first instant of cognition–knowing.
There is nothing that is not of the first instant.
This instant right now is it. All moments from
the so-called past are it. All moments of the
so-called future are it.
It is One moment—the first and only instant.
What is this first instant? You are this first
instant. Unmediated knowing.
There is no ‘other’ here in this first instant.
You are the center of your world. Start from
the fact that YOU ARE.
This immediate being-ness is not negotiable.
It IS.
Everything else is belonging to this flow of
unfolding phenomenal changes.All that
appears in this flow will disappear.
