To echo Gloria...beautiful!

Jochen...this is so beautiful and relevant. You quoted in part:

You might as well talk about the novel you just finished reading. it is more current and probably reveals more about where you are now than your recollected past.

And I would add to the end of this quote:

"...and your anticipated future."

Jochen, you say finally:

Where does this leave me? I think I will just be on the lookout for the point at which escalators meet and then Hop onto the ascending escalator.

Yes!...and for me to constantly recognize that when this "I" goes into thought...it is most likely jibberish and and a huge distraction from the beautiful immediacy of each new fresh moment! And the reason this diabribe continues is that thats all the mind knows how to do...to crank out a plethora of nonsense...with jaded judgements and comparisons (usually I'm either better or worse than others)....but to cut to the chase:

What I have thought my life to be and what I think it will be is but a fiction, written by a madman...this very seductive voice that I have always thought to be me!

My salvation is when I dare to enter the brilliant, light and love filled immediacy of Now!! (this is the Kingdom)

These are not popular conclusions are they!

Yet I know it is true...for when the channel is changed or the escalator is mounted...the jibberish vanishes...and the Kingdom is revealed!

Blessings to all and thank you Jochen so much for this!! Jim.
