Deception of time

There can never be a "now" moment since now is already history and ceases to be now. Since there is now no now and the future is soon history, then time cannot be processed in relation to reality, the way we now do. Even as you read this, it passes through the passage of time and it is history even before your thought is formed, let alone developing an understanding and meaning in what you read. But read, we must as we live on...

Our understanding of nanoseconds does not change this phenomenon. It explodes.

It is silly to say, like many, that life begins at 21, 30, 40 or any age for sake of argument. We must learn to see and appreciate life, independent of time, as consciousness allows us. Even what our body and mind informs us is finite and not perfect since true being cannot be housed in this tent as it soon fades away too. However hard we try to fire our muscles to submission, push our minds to greater frontiers, possess a heart of gold...it will soon vanish, without hope.

In this state, man is indeed pathetic. Man can deny the reality with the power of language and delays reality with the power of science but all man alike, even Solomon, lies down to the ground.
I'm hoping that life does not end there. Let me explore the message on resurrection. If it is true, OMG ( I just learnt this acronym to mean Oh my God!), then experiencing it is probably the most important thing in life, as Saint Paul has rightly put it for us.

God bless mankind - America, China, India, Japan, Korea, Singapore and everyone we love. I have not loved my enemies yet. I shall try.
