The Holy Now is Here For Everyone

A colleague commented this morning - seemingly out of the blue - that breakfast cereal is so smooth when you eat it, yet, when you let it sit for a couple of hours, it becomes hard as stone. Yes, I thought to myself, it is exactly as the holy Now. When you are part of the flow, the holy Now becomes so mendable. Yet, if you resist it, or put your own filter over it,  the train has left the station.

All spiritual writers ever do is to talk about the holy Now. The irony is, when Eckhart Tolle tried publishing his book, "The Power of Now", he was turned down by one publisher with the correct remarks that this idea is as old as spirituality itself. Yet, what spiritual bestseller it turned out to be! Everyone has access to the holy Now, spiritual or not. Psychologists, athletes, song writers, poets, sages, everyone has soon the holy Now in action. Some call it flow, one moment in time, Tao, synchronicity or holy spirit.

While I believe that everyone has access to the incredible creativity and power of the holy moment, we spiritual folks are especially receptive to the love that is in the air. As Jesus once said, "wherever two or more are gathered in my name, there I will be"! The holy Now is there for everyone, but only you can make it the present it is meant to be, an encounter with Her now - and thus eternal.
