The last moment just ended.
Remember? It was just a moment ago. A fraction of a second ago.
A strange and particular series of events lined up in just the right way to have led up to that very last moment.
Now, that moment just ended.
And it left us… here. Faced with the baffling and yet eternal question:
Now what?
Here we are. And now… what?
Where do we go from here?
Think of a timeline. Stretching back all the way to the moment you were born. And then, stretches further, way beyond. All the way back.
From all the way back, to right up to here. Now.
Perhaps you see this timeline in front of you. There’s a big fat red line slicing through the middle, cutting right through the center of this now-moment in time.
Everything that has happened right up until now is on the left side of the line.
And then, on the right side of the line, is everything that hasn’t happened yet.
On the left side is history. On the right side is future.
In the middle is you. Straddling the red line dividing what has been from what still may be.
Now, the funny thing is… in this moment, what has been doesn’t exist.
Even that last moment, if you still remember it - a fraction of a second ago?
Now, here - it doesn’t exist.
Nothing on the left side actually exists here.
And everything on the right side of the line… well, that doesn’t exist either.
So we seem to find ourselves perpetually in this strange and mystical place where past and future meet. A meeting point of two worlds which don’t exist.
And it seems that we are moving away from, or coming out of, the left side, which is history… and facing toward the right, the future, and then moving into it.
But how do you move toward or into something which doesn’t exist? Or out of or away from something which doesn’t exist?
It’s an optical illusion.
In fact, you never go anywhere. Since everywhere you go, you’re still always right here. Now.
So rather than getting to the future, it seems more accurate to think that the future is always coming here. Always arriving… here.
A perpetual unfolding. Moment by moment by moment.
Ever play one of those 3rd person role playing video games - like Zelda or Super Mario?
You know, where you’re seeing your character from the back or from above in the center of the screen, and then you direct him throughout his adventures.
It seems as if when you push the joystick forward, back, left or right, the character then moves forward, back, left or right. Even up and down.
Walking or running or jumping or tumbling forward, back, left, right, up, down.
And yet, you’ll notice, our hero always remains in the center of the screen. In fact, as he’s running, he’s running in place.
He isn’t, in fact, moving through time and space… time and space are moving through him.
Events, objects, experiences, obstacles, friends and foes, all come to join him, moment by moment by moment, in a perpetual unfolding in the center of the screen.
