Yes...this is my second post of the night thanks for asking....
Intellectual conversations spark intellectual thoughts...
"I often encounter signs that said "You are here."
You know what - evey one of those signs was right! I'm always here. I can't go anywhere but here.
If I think I'll leave here and go there, when I get there, here I am here again.
You know...always being Now since, Time, as we know it, is only an illusion. We usually think of time as having three parts Past, Present, Future. But what is the Past - only a collection of memories. We can't experience the Past, we can only remember it. And we can only remember it in the Present. There is no objective thing that we call the Past. it can't be measured in any way. our only contact with it is in the Present.
And what is the Future - only a mental construct in the Present. We can't experience the Future until it "becomes" the Present. Until then it only a hope and dream.
That leaves us with only the Present - the ever changing Present. Time is an illusion we created to try and measure the rate of change of the Present. It's always NOW. But it's an ever changing NOW. In a effort to cope with the change, we have invented time. .
To be totally in harmony with this truth, you'd need to wear a watch that always said "now". But you'd be late for a lot of things...
So anyways. always being NOW and always being Here, "Be Here Now" isn't just good advice, it's the only possibility."

Where'd you come up with that? I like it. But at the same time I don't...
i know we didnt. God did. it was jsut a way of looking at it. besides. You could also see it as God didnt make time but he made cycles. which isnt time.
you should give credit when credit is due
i didnt claim it as my own, hence the quotation marks.
And YOU should use your name
