How To Live In Reality Without Anxiety

Shawn welcome to practical spirituality here in Asia tour in the old city of jerusalem overlooking the temple mountain please join the m2 of media club calm yo media club calm today we're discussing time a little bit and time is something that's interesting in that it's actually not created nor is it experience so time is neither created nor experience there's nowhere where God you know there isn't where God says let there be time that's not one of the creations time is totally relative so you need moving bodies and in relationship to where you are like with those moving bodies you have a reference of time it's also the human being has a memory of the past and they an ability to predict for the future and that gives us a sense as if we are moving through some kind of continuum but in fact God only creates now and and you have only experience now like I realized like right now in Jerusalem it is - it's 335 336 almost exactly 336 but for all of us what time is it because that's already over what time is it it's now like it's right now on a practical level what time is it everybody said it now one two three now okay right now it is now no it's now and now it's now and now it's no no it's no no no and that's all God ever created and that's all you've ever experienced so if I came up to you two years ago and said hey what's up what's your name I come up to Yana Tizer you're on time what time is it what would you answer dude says now have you ever experienced anything other than now have you never had a moment that wasn't now no all there's ever been is now yes well I mean you can think now about memories but you're only now and it's only a very limited amount of the memory that you get now when you think about things so anyway all you've ever experienced is now and all God ever created was now that's God's job I mean would God waste his time creating yesterday and it's ridiculous it's already gone through the shredder and we got waste his time creating tomorrow no no it hasn't happened so why would God put any energy not that God uses energy but but why would God put anything into that what God is actually doing the USB cable interface between God and creation is what now we're here here and now that's all there is that's all God ever created no that's the definition of time now our relationship to time must be that if you want to live in reality if you want to live in the reality and I think we all do because that's another term for sanity right you ever thought about that what do you call the insane someone who's out of touch with reality what do you call the same for the opposite someone who's in touch with reality well what's reality reality is now Yanni's no no no no that's reality and so if you want to come to some sort of peace in your life so the more in touch with reality of that now is all there is and all you'll ever have is well that's that's that's what you go for you'll always go for now and and now is great all the time by the way like how you guys doing now that one's okay now yeah we're well I'm saying right now no now if you start thinking about everything you have to do right now in your future how you gonna make ends meet and what you're gonna do and all the details are you gonna have the same feeling of peace no the second you let your mind project itself out of now and into the future so then the chances of you losing your sense of peace is going to be very high you and you'll likely lose your sense of peace because if you're projecting yourself Internet so therefore letting go of now is a big problem planning does not mean anxiety planning is not planning you need not bring any anxiety planning is just well what steps would I have to take in order to have a successful whatever it may be business or a successful vacation or a successful family or what steps need to be taken at various points in time for this to be a success so I can stay in the now and make that plan and that could even be a very complex plan and that plan could include a lot of moving parts and conclude a lot of it could include a lot of people as well that need to cooperate with that plan which sounds like and once you're at once you need human cooperation I could see where anxiety can come in real quick but as long as I remain connected to them now so then the anxiety stays sure no let's make my elbow be now my elbow right here this is now that's now and as you go down the line up from my elbow you get to all the future plans you need to make and all the things you got to get done no can you always deal with now now yeah if I if a if a dental if a dentist was coming at your gums right now with a needle could you handle that now no one wants that but can you handle it in the now yeah we've all handled it in the now now what's happened is we've put our we've got our future and unfortunately so many people projected that what happens is that whole future like a like a drawbridge everything starts dumping into now and now can you handle your whole future now can you handle that no and that's the source of anxiety is the having your whole future land in now and there are people who really live that way all the time that they've got all their future you know goals missions plans and and challenges but those are all landing in the now and stealing now stealing now away and once now has disappeared into the future so then anxieties what I'm going to get ultimately see it now
