In the early hours of the morning I was lying in bed, just waking up. Thoughts drifted through my mind. I was thinking of Charles as I do so often. I was wondering about his connections with friends he knew before he and I met, and contemplating whether I could ask Helen, his first wife, and others who knew him long ago, to tell me more details of his activities then.

The next moment I felt a gentle presence by my bed. Someone, on an inner level, addressed me: "Do not attempt to retrieve the past. Do not look back. Release the habit of dividing up events into past, present and future. Rather, expand your present , expand your Now, so that it overlaps and embraces all the past and also all the future."

I was shown an image, a simple graphic of three sections. On the left was the past, in the center, the now and to the right, the future. Now the center section began to expand, its boundaries crossing into the past and future. The lines expanded until the center section had grown so wide so that it encompassed the two others.

The voice continued: "When you realize that the past is still here with you, you do not need to go in search for it. You have it with you. Furthermore, you realize that the future is also with you.

Brita: "How?"

Voice: "When you fill your present moment with joy and peace. Thus, in order to create a glorious, wonderful future for yourself, all you need to do is to create a glorious, wonderful Now.

When you live a healed life in the Now, you heal both your past and your future. When you declare yourself healed here and now, all that was and all that is to be, is healed. You know this already, anyway."

I relaxed and accepted the all-pervading Now, and felt a deep peace fill my consciousness.
