Be Here NOW

At this moment if you set the alarm to get up at 3:47 this morning and when the alarm rings and you get up and turn it off and say: what time is it?

You'd say: NOW NOW where am I?
HERE! HERE! Then go back to sleep.

Get up at 9:00 Tomorrow. Where am I?? Here! What time is it? NOW!

Try 4:32 three weeks from next Thurs. BY GOD It is ....There's no getting away from it - That's the way it is that's the ETERNAL PRESENT.

You finally figure out that it's only the clock that's going around... It's doing its thing but you - you're sitting HERE RIGHT NOW ALWAYS NOTHING TO DO.

There is nowhere to go and There is nothing to do & We're going to keep coming to know one another more & more free of being identified with any veils less identified with their veils as you find the light in you, you begin to see the light in everyone else as you find God in yourself there is God everywhere.
