What nonsense... I am asking about the relationship between change and time and you end up talking about now...
From the " The Power of the Now " .
[b]The now is all you have. You can search for it but all you need to do is wake up and experience it.
For example: You will never do anything in the future or the past. Anything you have ever done you did in the "Now".
If you wash your clothes you will wash them in the now.. ( you may not experience the now) due to your mind trying to take control. The washing will happen in the now. How can you wash something in the future? You have to be there.
Your mind can put a record on that plays the out how you did the laundry in the past but you cant do the laundry in the past. Your mind will play a record that will say you need to do laundry this way or that in the future but you will never actually do the laundry in the future. When you finally do the laundry it will be in the present "now". Most people that you meet will never fully be in the now. They will live there lives looking forward to that next thing that will make the hole inside them fill up. IN the mean time they will miss all the things that are happining as they happen.
The point is that "now" is all that is real. The mind is the only place that Future and Past live.
A rainbow is only beautiful because it takes you by suprise and your mind for a split second does not think of a future or past and you are stuck experiencing the now if only for a second. Then the rainbow will not be new and the mind will take over and start running is future/past records again.
Hope that helps explain what now is and how important it is to experience "now. [/b]
