One can only see one moment at a time, in spite of it feeling otherwise. While each moment is happening, we are reacting to the past moment. In other words, “We’re caught in a trap,” as Elvis sang.

We are reacting to the future moment as well. Loaded with anxiety, we the tread the halls of our minds and emotions.

To know this is to know how heaven operates.

It is necessary to jettison thoughts and feelings and just dive into the sublime ignorance. This is known as having faith.

We don’t have to resort to religion to know that we are asleep and afraid.

Instead we can embark on the perilous journey lived one moment at a time.

Our sustenance is the manna of Self-unity.

All seeds do not sprout, so faith is necessary in this journey back to Truth.

Evil and good reside on the intellectual plane and God knows nothing about this.

He resides above all frays, all fears and all fig leaves of the mind.

Trust and obey, as the old hymn says, for there’s no other way.
