The Present Sutra

Being present isn’t an action— it’s the nature of existence
The effort of arriving to present is failing the arrival​

Every effort to arrive results from the thought, “there is a different time than present”
and this thought will never find rest as it is fundamentally untrue​

So the mind presents an option with no basis in reality
and is trying to find this reality through movement toward a possibility that has never existed​

There can never be a movement in the direction of present as present isn’t in time, but it’s now
as much as there cannot be a movement in the direction of space because space is a location, but it’s here​

Every moment is happening within space without any option to get closer or farther
and every thought appears in the present, including the thought, “I’m not in the present” or “I’m not here”​

You are not something separate that can be in or out of the now, present or not present, existing or not existing
You are existence that is only ever existing as itself

With heart,

Gil·ad (eternal-joy)
