The Illusion of Time
I am both becoming and being at the same time.
Today, I decided to take a midday hike on my way to the coffee shop. As I rushed along the narrow trail, the branches of the native foliage tugged at my t-shirt, caressing my skin. I choose the narrow path because it ignites my sense of adventure. Every now and then a branch takes something with it and it reminds me of the here and now.
I veered onto a path I had never taken before—uphill, with the intention of reaching the top and discovering new views. “I’m going to reach the top!” I thought, but then it hit me like a tree felled in an open field: “I am reaching the top.” Time slowed down. I glanced at the plants, and they looked right back at me. Birds chirped, conversing with nature, and the sound of leaves crackling beneath my boots filled my senses. In this moment, I was present in the eternity of now.
What a subtle yet profound shift it is to move from “I am going to…” to “I am”—from doing to simply being. I continued my walk with curiosity, intention, and no expectations, realizing that as I climbed the mountain, I was both becoming and being at the same time.
As I explored this introspection with my newfound meta-awareness, I connected with my body, noticing the shifting movements and sensations. As my awareness transformed, so did my energy; it was evident in how I interacted with the ground beneath me. What had started as a brisk pace, almost jogging, became a gracious stride, reinforcing my belief that Energy is a Choice.
How beautiful it is to realize that the infinite power and possibility within me is just a single choice away. It takes but a moment for me to quantum leap into my true self. It is at this dimension that I recognize my authenticity as a channel for my spirit guides, accessed only through the present moment and empowered by the choices I make.
I’m in awe at the simplicity and the force of this cosmic realization. How might leading a life grounded in this understanding as the basis for energetic relations shift the trajectory of this world and our vibration nation?
