From just before:
it only seems from just before - life, and all it holds, is always appearing now. Everything is a current play of events, spontaneous, even as we remember illusions of the past. What we truly and only have is this one given moment.
and it's extraordinary.
that there is no realm of just before - every idea and each thought we have is instantaneous, coming to notice at each point of our attention. No particular thought is ever chosen, simply appearing and then we claim it as our own. It's all really a constant inspiration, everything, from nowhere to present, through no will nor effort of our own.
the entire world's been simply given.
it's all a momentary, and there is no sure definition of what this means - many hold this as a timeless existence, that a moment is a lasting observation of some cosmic function. It's implied as an eternal force of special value. Yet a moment is always fleeting, elusive in all but our participation. It's ever changing, mysterious. There are no previous moment, and nothing follows this one. With no just before, - we find ourselves a current stream of ideas and concepts, an event playing through infinite levels at once. We are occurring.
always now.
this ends without speculation on a further moment, of what will then continue. We've been give this extraordinary gift of being alive right now, and more truly a gift of which we are aware. What appears now is an entire world of our belonging. How this moment will unfold remains a mystery. It will happen completely on its own.
we have the gift of just this moment.
