There Is Only Now
Mar 10th, 2009 | By Dene Brock | Category: Dene's Blogs, VideosI pulled out an old video today - you may remember it from the 1980’s - SPACEBALLS. Yes, it is probably one of the worst Star Wars parodies ever made, but it is still good for an occasional chuckle.
There’s one particular scene that always makes me laugh - and watching it this time brought a chapter from “A Happy Pocket Full of Money” to mind that discusses the illusion we’ve come to believe about time. This is one particular concept has always been a bit confusing for me, and for the first time I’ve been able to glean some understanding. Now, I’m not saying I have my mind wrapped tightly around it yet, but I am getting closer.
For now, I just want to sit back and laugh as Rick Moranus experiences the same confusion I seem to have when we talk about the concept of NOW..
Here’s the clip– and below I’ve copied some text from David Cameron’s book.
The Truth About Time: It does not exist except as you say it does.
Time is a funny thing. A very funny thing. The biggest trick time ever played on us was to make us think it was real, and that we were under its full control. Yet, time is a complete illusion, a strong and persistent illusion.
What wonderful news that is! Time is an illusion created by you. Once you understand how this illusion is created by you, you then begin to re-create it as you wish, consciously and deliberately instead of unconsciously and accidentally as you may have been doing.
What is time? What do I have to do with time? How should I think and be about time so that I may experience wealth and other things in larger quantities faster? The only time that truly exists is Now…/i>
