All is a Present Act: Time is a vast Illusion
“Think
of the past - that is a present act; anticipate the future - that is also a
present act. Any evidence of a past exists only in the present, and any reason
to believe in a future also exists only in the present. When the real past
happened, it wasn’t past but present, and when the real future arrives, it
won’t be the future, it will be the present. Thus, the only time of which we
are ever aware is the present moment, this moment, which contains all time, is
itself timeless, which is Eternity. All time is now. Time is a vast illusion.
Eternity is not everlasting time but the real, indestructible, timeless
present. The present is the only thing that has no end.”
Ken Wilber
