Time is the world and Eternity is God

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.

Awareness, The Key to Living in Balance by OSHO

Seeking Reality

If you seek reality you must set yourself free of all backgrounds, of all cultures, of all patterns of thinking and feeling. Even the idea of being man or woman, or even human, should be discarded. The ocean of life contains all, not only humans. So, first of all abandon all self-identification, stop thinking of yourself as such-and-such, so-and-so, this or that. Abandon all self-concern, worry not about your welfare, material or spiritual, abandon every desire, gross or subtle, stop thinking of achievement of any kind. You are complete here and now, you need absolutely nothing.

It does not mean that you must be brainless and foolhardy, improvident or indifferent; only the basic anxiety for oneself must go. You need some food, clothing and shelter for you and yours, but this will not create problems as long as greed is not taken for a need. Live in tune with things as they are and not as they are imagined.
