The Moment of Now


In the lexicon of physics "moment" is the measure of movement considering the kinetic inevitabilities of circumstance. There is no existence devoid of moment. Every wave form, every photon, every thing that exists, IS its requisite moment. Its existence is its moment, and its moment is not a snapshot in some imaginary sequential stop-action slices of "Time": its existence is the non-temporal seethe of momentum that is everywhere the fabric of existence.

The latent content of the unconscious mind is momentum. Every living creature's existence is charged with the inertia that forged the path to its individuated life. The momentum of millennia is accepted without consideration as personal prerogative.

It is all very nice to consider meditation as a form of "mindfulness", but that is rather like using a blowtorch to light a candle.
