I believe that Moments can indeed be shared in the space time continuum that we live in. I’m curious why you believe otherwise. I have seen people give their time away by not being present, by focusing on the past or on the future, both of which do not exist. It is only the present that is, and that is where we experience our gift of time, if we choose to. When I say that it can be given away or sold, I mean to say that the focus of spirit being present can be given to the doing of a thing for another thing. It is a doing act rather than a being act. There’s a funny cliche about that “we are human beings, not human doings”. Makes me laugh in its truth. Because from where I sit I see a whole lot more humans doing than humans being.

I recently had a conversation with a woman who spent 5 days with Eckhart Tolle. She said there were upwards of 100 people and probably more in the room. She was doubtful at first that so much presence could be shared in such a large group. But I was not surprised when she told me that she had experienced a one-ness even in that large of a gathering. It is possible. I have no doubt.

I do agree that the concept of keeping time, in the sense of grasping it, Holding on to it, is a silly exercise. There is only ever this moment. And that is enough. And each one is precious. And so many of these moments are taken for granted. It must be so I suppose. The mechanics of the human brain will not permit it to be any other way. It would be neurologically overwhelming otherwise.

I also see humans constantly focused on not this moment, but striving to get to the next one, or reminiscing about one that’s gone, all the while, this current one is hovering, here, now, waiting for their full attention. And then it is gone. And again. And again.

I said something earlier about our being gifted time, and life, at birth. It’s a gift that is unknown in its duration, of course. And some humans are gifted with this gift of life and human being experience not just once in the course of their lives. People who go through NDEs are regifted.

I have been regifted a few times. In fact, I’ve got some essays I will be writing on these very personal, mystical experiences. I have not shared the stories with many people, but they are stories I will soon tell.
