Time for Spirit, Time with Spirit

Time for Spirit?

Paris Clocks – Nick Sarebi

It’s more than ironic that time is not real in Spirit and that time has such an amazing impact on our lives.

Sure, the premise that time is not real, even in Spirit, is a bit hard to take. How many times a day do you check a clock, your watch, your cell phone’s time, the car radio dial (time)? And if you do none of that, how many times a day do you ask someone for the time?

But time is not real in Spirit? Nope.

Spirit is eternal and eternal is timeless; eternity is timelessness.

Spirit is forever Now, not then or later or when. Now.

The physical transition from “life” has come to define for many the “ultimate moment” when everything ends. Or at least everything that matters.

In Truth, we are blessed to know that our Being, the True Spirit we are–each of us, All of Us–does not end. Ever. Is not punctuated by the passing of our physical costume.

Comparatively less important time-measures govern our human lives. Wake up time. Work time. Meal time. Being on time. Church service time. Meet-for-coffee time. Less important perhaps than end of physical life, but we control our lives by such time. Which can mean we allow time to control our lives.

This makes me want (need) to pray.

Sweet Spirit,
Time is not important until I make it so.
I enjoy the time I set aside to be entirely with you:
my body, mind, and spirit.
I appreciate the spontaneous times your Presence
nudges me, lets me remember you are always with me.
I respect that time is my creation
and past, present and future have meaning only
as I decide.
I love your reminders that Truth is now,
that Now is the real moment.
I shed troubles carried from the past;
I discard worries for what is the future.
I celebrate the glory of the ever-present moment
Amen.
