There is an ancient, Buddhist sayiing that goes;
"When you take care of each moment, you take care of all time."
Many people equate this saying with the popular phrase "Live In The Moment", and more fatalistic individuals or those devoted to non-attachment often define it as enjoying what is because there is no guarantee of more.
We look at time and envision a string of moments, occurring one after the other from some distant beginning to some equally distant end. Modern physics, however, has put forth the theory that time does not exist in the way we have traditionally thought of it. They surmise time as an endless series of moments which all exist simultaniously, in the same place. Each moment, is then, a self contained parallel reality , and distinguished from it's neighboring moments by a difference in it's vibrational frequency. What we see as "moving through time" is in reality a steady series of shifting from vibration to vibration.
Suffice it to say, that Reality as we percieve it is more like a series of film frames that click into place one after the other. Click-click-click-click we are here, here, here, here. Each moment, really then, is all there is since there is nothing technically "before" it and nothing technically "after" it. When you believe something to be true, your vibration, or frequency can be said to be in harmony with that reality, and so the vibration of the next frame pulls you towards it (The Law Of Attraction). Each moment is it's own parallel reality and the version of "you" which buys into the belief of its existance moves to that next moment and you feel as though you are moving through "time".
Even what you might consider to be "past" or "future" lives are all happening concurrently. The Human mind creates the illusion of time in order to understand what it observes. As I said before, human beings must learn by relating a thing to another thing. Separating time into past, present and future allows us to hold one up against another and say "I like this", or "I didn't like that". Once we determine a preference, changes can be made, but MORE than that--
The Expanding Reality
When a preference is expressed-consciously or unconsciously, ANOTHER parallel Reality comes into being that takes into account the preference and exists, in its own self-contained vibration. If you want to change your reality, you must first change your vibration in order to be pulled towards the reality which exemplifies the kind of experience you want. The simple act of wanting it, imagining it or desiring it creates it. Everything that exists today, began as a thought, which began as a preference-I'd like a better way to do X, I would rather have Y. This is the way our Universe expands, through thought as focused by the mind (see note "The Ego Is Not The Enemy") By having your preferences, you act in concert with the All That Is in creating expansion in the Universe.
"Living in the moment", then means to, in a sense, see the SAME MOMENT from a different point of view, so it is your perspective that is shifting, not the segments of time. Indeed, we shift through billions of parallel realities every second. The time it takes for us to shift one vibration is sometimes referred to by physicists as "plank time", but I'm not blessed with an intellect which can wrap itself around the finer points of theoretical physics so I just won't go there. ;) (if you are interested in more on this subject read "The Field" by Lynne McTaggart (sp?) ) Each moment is different from its neighbor in such an infinitessimly small way that are barely aware that we are shifting at all. But if, in that moment, you can somehow change your patterns of belief, you can be drawn to a different perspective of that moment which creates a different Reality.
This structure of the reality shifts (no pun intended) the responsibility of change to the individual as the changes we create in ourselves and our beliefs are the way by which we experience the reality that represents our preferences. We do this by "taking care of"- or evaluating each moment according to what we believe and what we want. The Shamans were aware of this. There is a Huna principal that says "Now is the moment of Power".
We cannot change our past, and we cannot act directly on our future.
The only period in which you are able to act is in that self contained moment. In our human existence, we have only now in which to institute any change. "Time" is Now. If you desire to make a change, you must do it now, and in doing so, you are indeed addressing "all time".
Indeed, there is nothing else.
