The Elusive Now
The Yeti of Spiritual Life

by Robert Rabbin
 

Since the 1971 publication of Ram Dass’ seminal book, Be Here Now, the “now” has been a popular exotic spiritual destination, like Tibet, for many seekers of truth. Unlike Tibet, no one has every actually been to the now; no one has ever wandered its streets, shopped in its markets, snapped pictures, or brought back souvenirs.

The now is like the mythical yeti that is purported to prowl the high white solitudes of Himalayan plateaus. No one has ever touched one, or slept with one. Perhaps someone has come across an inexplicable footprint or two sunk deep in the snow; someone else may have a story of seeing a large hairy shadowy something or other. Regardless of myths, stories, and claims: no yeti, no now. But all is not lost. There is good, if disconcerting, news; the kind of news that Zen masters are loved and hated for delivering; the kind of news we want and don’t want at the same time. It’s a bit like the koan of heaven: everyone wants to go, but no one wants to die!

A nameless Chinese sage once remarked, “99.9% of everything you do and of everything you think is for the sake of yourself. And you don’t have one.” This is as good a cliff as any to jump from, because just as there is no “self,” there is no “now.” At least, there is no now to perceive or experience, no now to think of in the way we think of the past, future, beer, birthdays, or fishcakes.

Before moving on, we would be wise to reflect on what Rumi, the great poet of now, has to say: “However you think it is, it’s different than that!” Take heart: just because the now doesn’t exist, it doesn’t mean the now isn’t real. Let’s pause here. Breathe this in: the now is real, but it doesn’t exist. Breathe, relax, breathe. Okay, let’s continue.

How can the now be real, but not exist? In the same way that a quark can be over there while still here. In the same way that whenever we are given two choices, we should always pick the third. In the same way that Woody Allen says, “Students achieving oneness can move ahead to twoness.” In the same way that a déjà vu experience actually comes from the future to haunt the present, disguised as the past.

A participant in one of my workshops once told me he had trouble “being in the now.” I asked him to show me where he went when he wasn’t being in the now. At first he didn’t understand. I said, “Please stand up and walk to where you go when you leave the now.” He thought I was trying to trick him. (I wasn’t, not really; that wouldn’t be nice.) After additional conversation and working with him to clarify his meaning and identify the real problem, he said, “Well, I guess I just get lost in my thoughts.”

I asked him what kind of thoughts he gets lost in. He said, “Thoughts about the past, or the future.” Then, he made the fatal mistake: “If I could just keep my thoughts centered in the present, in the now, I know I’d be better off, happier and more effective.”

Really? Hmmmmm…no! NO! NO! Off with their heads! Over the cliff we go!

This is where the yeti, the now, quarks, reverse time, fishcakes, and columns of rioting Zen masters collide with copulating cosmic star systems to produce major headaches of implausibility. Aspirin won’t help. Books won’t help. Meditation won’t help. Secret words from nondual comedy clubs won’t help.

The passenger-side outside rear-view mirror of many cars is inscribed with this bit of text: Caution: objects in mirror are closer than they appear.

Our thoughts are like these mirrors, each distorting reality in a peculiar and particular manner. Unlike the auto mirrors, the text on our thoughts should read: Objects in thought are farther than they appear. Thoughts about now are just as distorting as thoughts about the past, the future, or grandma’s red bike.

This is why Lin-Chi, a great Zen master, once said, “If you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha.” What he means is that any thought, idea, image, or concept of the Buddha is not the Buddha.

All thoughts and images of the Buddha must be killed in order to realize (bring into reality) the true Buddha. So it is with the now. We can’t think that thoughts about the now are the now. So it is with the self. We can’t think that thoughts about our self, the Self, or our no- or nonself have anything to do with reality, which is far far far and farther still away from anything seen in the thought-mirrors of our minds.

Why did I say “no one has every actually been to the now”? Because the self is an object in thought, appearing closer than it is. So it is with time. So it is with everything. We live in a virtual reality, composed of language and thought, inches and light years, self and other, here and there, before and after, up and down, black and white — where, oh where is real reality? When do we touch the shiny, shimmering skin of real life? The juices, where are the juices and smells that make our head spin right off? Where is the food, not the menu, the beloved, not a photograph?

Many people speak about now, about being present, about the power of intuition and spontaneity, but they don’t speak from now while being present, intuitive, and spontaneous. They speak from the past, from what they have said before, from what they already know. They speak all tangled up in the self, or the Self — concepts, concepts, concepts — appearing closer than they are. They say they’ve been to Tibet, seen yetis, know the now. How would they know? Who would know?

If we are going to speak about now, about reality, then both should shoot from us like Independence Day fireworks, booming and exploding, spewing sparks and geysers of light never before seen, never before heard, surprising and delightfully original. Everything would just disappear in a magical breath, sucked into a enormous sexual unions, in delirium, with sonic booms of love and excess of love beyond reason and wisdom, beyond clocks, beyond the cloth and clothes of appearances appearing closer than they are, in reality. That’s where it is. That’s where reality is: naked naked. In the naked wild radical sweet surrender of everything, the utterly intimate ripped open heart, the one we all have and share, the one whose blood fills the world, the universe, with holy breath and life, and pure pure music drumming trance trance love and more than love and more than tears, tears flooding into oceans and drowning into the Silence. There it is.

Just beyond the thinking mind is an unending field of love and quiet beauty. One can lie down there, and live in eternity. This field cannot be seen by the mind, it cannot be known by the mind; it can only be felt and found with the heart. The thinking mind cannot know this kind of beauty and wonder; the thinking mind has no feeling, it has no soul. It can only calculate distance and weight and price. The thinking mind does not love, it does not laugh, it does not cry. The thinking mind only argues and defends; it justifies its soulless existence with violence. That is why we must learn to live within the heart, lying in the fields of beauty, where we can feel the soul and Silence of existence. And now, lying in these fields, we can cry, and laugh, and love. And now we live in this field of eternity, where the thinking mind is just a single flower, barely visible, in the midst of tall grasses under blue skies and hundreds of suns, whirling and spinning within and without.

A Message from Master Yeshua (Jesus), the Christ
by Isaac George

"I come in peace. Even though there is discord and troubles in the world, let your heart not be troubled. Your heart is needed most now, a heart that is awakened and resonant.

Be your beingness, your isness, instead of some improved version of your ego self. Wipe off the labels and throw them away. Who told you that you were not worthy of the Christ? Why are you still feeling stuck, unsuccessful and unfulfilled? If you are having that experience my friends, you are attached to the label of success/failure, which is just another judgment, a judgment from the world. The only way to end that is to think as Spirit thinks, and that can only occur when you stop thinking you know the way.

Many of you are still so focused in the dream, and now the dream is fraying even more at the edges. The world is still trying so hard to achieve peace, achieve prosperity, and find love. You are also trying too hard, so much so that you feel depressed and despondent because it appears that the world is going in the opposite direction from love. So, your heart hurts, your head hurts, and even your body hurts. It hurts because you feel things ever more deeply than before. It all may feel so dense and slow now that you question all that you've known. This is good! Question all of it, for in that you will discover the limitation of your beliefs. How can you remember freedom if you still have a stake in your identification with the world game? Very few heard the message of Truth two thousand years ago, and now it is barely understood, much less practiced.

Your desires still count for something, but not in the ways that you have imagined them to be. Why recreate limitation in new forms? Why do you insist in putting the new wine of consciousness into old skins. They will burst my friends, and then what? Allowing Spirit to create through you is pure creation, while much of what is now created in form is a distortion of the creative spark. If it were not a distortion, then the world would not be trapped in an seemingly endless cycle of solutions, followed by problems created from the previous solutions, etc., etc.

Instead, a direct intention to allow your Spirit/Soul to bring forth what is required is a more balanced way to flow with things. Flow it from the heart instead of the mind. The creative urge is there to express your Divinity, not add to the distortions and miscreations already in the world. Has it ever occurred to you why a greater part of the world rejected the message of love and faith two millennia ago? It rejected the Truth because it is the antithesis of the system, and refutes the false wisdom of the world. Even though I spoke in parables using analogies to farming and sheparding to describe spiritual concepts, it was not because I chose to legitimize the world, it was to offer the Truth in a simple way.

I did not produce a product, I never endorsed a brand, I never owned a house, nor raised a family, I had no possessions or investments. I never owned a business nor did I invent tools. My biggest audiences were simple laborers and people who lived close to the earth, people who were intimate with nature. Those of the professional and educated classes that heard the Truth in their hearts eventually left their previous livelihoods and devoted themselves to Spirit in various ways.

Now, none of what I just related means that you need to sell everything you have and give it to the poor. Nonetheless, if you do not renounce (which means give up your attachment to or belief in…) the apparent power of the world to fulfill you or to harm you, then you will be poor indeed! I know that what I am saying was not popular then, nor is it now, but that is the way of it. If you are to return to the Truth of Who You Are, if you are to experience real peace and Oneness while in the human dimension, then you will choose to swim against the tide of the consensus reality. Who knows, you may become more unpopular than I was! Let us hope so.

My primary message at this time is, and always was, to come back to your Self, and come back to the essentials. What is essential, what really matters, is to connect with Self, with your true consciousness. Where you will find your Self is in Nature, in communion with the Planet. She is the narrow portal into the Infinite. Her Heart is your heart. Her Body is your body. You created Her, and now she serves You. In Her you will find Me, and when you find Me, you will have found Your Self. Listen to the words of Truth once again:

'Therefore I say to you. Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, nor yet for your body and how it is clothed. Is not Life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Behold the birds of the air. They do not sow or reap, or gather the harvest, yet they are fed. Are you not much greater than they? Which of you, by thinking about it, can add one inch to your height?

Therefore, take no thought and worry about these things, for Spirit knows what you have need of before you ask for it. Seek Spirit first, and the rest is taken care of. Take no thought from tomorrow, for tomorrow will take thought for itself. Sufficient is the trouble for that day.'

Yes, I paraphrased here, but the if you want to be free and remember your Self as a being of Spirit, then it is by your intention that you will be free. Free of the limitation of your karmic ego, and free of the world's arguments against Spirit. You cannot serve the world and Spirit, you cannot be a house divided against itself, and know peace. Which will you serve and be served by?

Are you tending the Garden of your Soul, or preoccupied with the busyness of the world? If there are weeds in your consciousness, then fruit cannot come forth. Remove the old thoughts by using the power of your intention to align with your true nature. The heart is the organ that waters the garden, while being grounded in the earth is the foundation for the roots, and ecstasy is the fruit that comes forth after careful nurturance of your feelings through love of Self and the Universal Self that is all other souls. Listen to the Garden, and let it tell you what is necessary for real growth and true creation. Then beauty will arise in your Life and touch all with whom you share your abundance. Love the earth with a passion born in heaven, and heaven will root in the earth and in you as well.

You tend the Garden of the Soul by caring, simply caring. Care for yourself by gently, but firmly, focusing on time with Spirit. Each morning or each evening, find ten or fifteen minutes to be still and intentionally connect inside. Ask to be a channel of blessings to others, and to express your inherent Divinity without hesitation or fear. Forgive everything and everyone, especially yourself. Slowly and with the help if Grace, disengage your preoccupation with struggle and the limited desires of the ego. Ask for the desire of your Soul to manifest your path for you. If you believe you are not ready for a life of blessings, then you will be acquainted with more disappointment. Instead, cultivate trust in that which is beyond the so-called power of the world. If you believe that all things are possible, and gradually practice living from that consciousness, then whatever is appropriate will manifest through you with ease and magnificence. Be mindful of your dreams, but have no agendas or strategies. Ask the Father-Mother in you to do the work, and you are then free to enjoy the flowers and fruits in your Garden.

I know what is in your heart of Hearts, for that is where I live. The divine intelligence in your sacred heart is power of all Powers. This is the true Creator, the Source of All. There is nothing that does not exist that was not created through the Word that lives in the core of your Heart. The Word makes it so, and when spoken in pure faith, which is knowing beyond knowledge, then miracles are the result. If you would create aright, then instead of creating a new computer, car, or cell phone, create a beautiful garden, a beautiful home, a beautiful relationship or friendship, an inspiring painting, or healing music, or uplifting literature. Create laughter in the lives of others, and love passionately and freely, without thought of keeping, holding or possessing. If you really want to live heaven, then explore the kingdom within you, and stop settling for what the ego has mis-created.

Everyone is You, and you are Everyone. When your Heart can remember that, then you cannot harm another, for to harm another would be harming yourself. And when all the children of the One remember, then the Garden will be well-tended, and will never wither. Plant your garden now, in rich soil, and with clean water, and with much love.

Then tend to it daily, and allow the relationship to build naturally, giving out gratitude, and receiving the blessings of love. Relax into your Self, and let the Master Gardner do the work.

May peace be with you this day.
