Our Common Sense Has Been Rigged . . . .

We've been taught to believe time is real in that it has a future and a past.

The truth is time can only be consumed now, is only readily available now. Consequently one only needs to check out what he is doing this very moment to discover his true state of achievement. If the more and more you check this state or self-condition (working, being entertained, house holding . . .) the more you will be moved to do what is most important to you, because "now" you are specifically paying very close attention to your process.

This is a fool proof way to get a true working profile of your motivation or lack of. And we improve commensurately only to the working knowledge level of our true condition. This is common sense untangled.

    time and common sense ..two thing that are pretty much illusions of perception.

    we create the illusion of time passing for the express purpose of having an experience

    a year ago everyone was feeling like there wasn't enough time and things where constantly speeding up ..today time seems to pass fast at sometimes and slow at other based on what we do .

    a hundred years ago when people worked for themselves for the most part they worked 1000 hours a year at most lived 30 years less on average than now but had a lot more in their lives that we feel is missing today .

    2000 years ago when most human believed in some form of reincarnation the fear of death was much less and when people died ..it was just their time .

    Who we are today is a result of our past actions and what we do now will determine our future. So, now is the only time for action since we can't go back and act in the past and we can't visit future.

    A quick thought.Who you are and who you become depends on today. We must take action today to improve and learn and grow.I have tweaked a very popular saying "knowledge is potential power it only becomes power when you take action" A simple thought but ,I believe very true.

    This sounds very much like something Alan Watts would say! In fact, here is a quote,

    “I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.”

    Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.
