Time is the world and Eternity is God; horizontal is the world, vertical is God. Both meet at a point - that is where Jesus is crucified. Both meet, the horizontal and the vertical, at a point - that point is Here and Now. From Here and Now you can go on two journeys: journey in the world, in the future; the other journey into God, into depth.
Become more and more aware, become more and more alert and sensitive to the present. So remember one thing: whenever you realize that you have gone to the past or into the future, don't create a problem out of it. Simply come back to the present, not creating any problem. It's okay! Simply bring back your awareness. You will miss millions of times; it is not going to happen right now, immediately. It can happen, but it cannot happen because of you. It is such a long, long, fixed mode of behaviour that you cannot change it right now. But no worry, existence is not in a hurry. Eternity can wait eternally. Don't create aa tension about it.
