neither the past nor the future exist.
you can't see them, touch them, feel them, visit them or experience them.

the only moment you will ever see, touch, feel, visit, inhabit, or experience
is the present.


ever.

This is just a daily reminder that ONLY the PRESENT MOMENT is REAL. As the TIME passes the present FADES away into NOTHING. Live your life and do not beat yourself up over nothing everybody.
I would tend to disagree.

Life is not an illustion, rather it is what you make with/of it!

While much of the worthless things I've done in the past are 'nothing' - as sand swept away by the winds,
the good, 'solid as a brick' things I've done in the past, become 'stacked and cemented' as a strong building,
providing shelter during storms,
home for more life beyond mine own,
a much greater and clearer distant view towards the horizon,
and puts me that much closer up to the beautiful stars at night.

One witness of God, and He will remind you of many things that happened, that you forgot years and years ago, and when you pass from this world your whole life will be shown back to you by the living God ........ your life may be living a dream but God remembers everything, not in condemnation but to show you what your life was

EVERYTHING before the PRESENT is GONE forever. Your time at work today has met NOTHING.

My two dogs have been gone for 12 and 14 years. Obviously they were part of my past and I dont remember what we did at a specific time during their lives but I have so many memoried from them and never regret having spent many years with them. Not an illusion because it was in the past but mostly great memories.

What we experience as memories recorded in our brain are only the traces of the experienced events that still exist and comprise a permanent part of our Spiritual existence.

All of us are here today because of what people did before we were born. Many people and very long before we were born...
