The time is always now.

Eckhart Toly and I have spent many hours talking about what it means to live in the now.

He's taught me not to linger on past mistakes but to learn from them and then let them go.

But in this podcast, Eckhart talks with a live audience about the importance of living in the now.

And I appreciate his sense of humor about it because he jokes that he has a collection of watches

that have been given to him over the years that just say, now.

Another reminder to us that the time is always now.

It's working that it says the time is now.

Totally accurate. Over the years, many people have sent me now watches.

I have a collection of about ten with different dials but some dials at every hour it says now, now, now.

And then I have other that you have to press a button and then it says now.

And then another button that gives you the time.

In our kitchen we have a clock that somebody sent.

It doesn't say now but it shows all the numerals, the numbers have in a pile at the bottom of the clock.

And on the dial it says whatever.

It's easy to forget that it's always now and only now.

And if you could remember that, not as a memory but have that as a live realization every moment or to put it more accurately.

In the moment because there's only really one moment, although what happens in it changes.

If you knew that, that's the awakened state of consciousness.

You would be in alignment with whatever happens.

So the ultimate spiritual practice is to remember that it's now and only ever now.

This is your life.
