Beyond Time

A Journey into the Infinite

In the realm of spiritual exploration, the concept of time often presents itself as a linear progression, segmented neatly into past, present, and future. Yet, if we dare to delve deeper into the essence of nonduality and Eastern philosophy, we uncover a profound truth: the linear construct of time is merely an illusion, a creation of the human mind designed to make sense of our existence. This realization beckons us to question, if even the Divine, the source of all creation, does not foresee the future, what does this imply about the nature of existence itself?

The notion that “Not even God knows the future; for there is no past, present, or future to be known” invites us into a contemplative exploration of the timeless. In this perspective, the future is not a distant realm to be foreseen or predicted, but rather a continuation of the present moment, ever-unfolding in the eternal now. This insight aligns with the core teachings of nonduality, which assert that all distinctions we perceive in the world, including the separation of time into distinct segments, are ultimately illusions.

In the vast expanse of consciousness, where the concept of time dissolves, we find ourselves in the presence of the infinite. Here, every moment is the beginning and the end, each instant a complete and whole experience of existence. This realization challenges us to live fully in the present, to embrace each moment as if it were the entirety of life itself. It encourages a state of constant awareness, where the past is not a burden to be carried, nor the future a destination to be reached, but rather, each moment is an opportunity for spiritual awakening and enlightenment.


This perspective offers a liberating view of the nature of divine omniscience. If the Divine exists beyond the confines of time, then foreknowledge becomes irrelevant. The Divine, in its infinite wisdom, is intimately connected with the unfolding moment, fully present in the eternal now. This understanding invites us to reconsider our relationship with the Divine, seeing it not as a distant overseer of our fate but as an ever-present guide on our journey through the boundless landscape of existence.

As we navigate this journey, we are called to let go of our attachment to the linear progression of time, to release our anxieties about the future, and our regrets about the past. In doing so, we open ourselves to the profound wisdom that lies in the present moment, discovering a path to personal growth and spiritual enlightenment that transcends the boundaries of time.


This exploration into the nature of time and the divine offers a fresh perspective on our spiritual journey. It challenges us to question deeply held beliefs and to embrace the mystery of the now. As we ponder the implications of a timeless existence, we are invited to experience life in its fullest expression, free from time constraints, and open to the infinite possibilities within the eternal present.

In the Divine Embrace

A Journey Within and Beyond

In the vast, boundless expanse of existence, there lies a profound truth that whispers in the silent spaces of our being. It is a truth that transcends the confines of language and thought, yet is intimately known to each of us: the realization that we are intricately woven into the fabric of the divine.

As seekers on this spiritual odyssey, we commence our quest from the source of all creation, a point of infinite potential that we reverently name God. This origin is not a distant deity, but the very essence of our existence, the core of our being. It is from this sacred wellspring that our journey unfolds.

Our path is one of walking through God, a phrase that captures the essence of our existence as a continuous immersion in the divine presence. Every step we take, every breath we draw, is imbued with the essence of this ultimate reality. In this journey, the mundane becomes sacred, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary, as we perceive the divine in all.

As we traverse this path, a remarkable transformation occurs: we walk towards God, not as a destination, but as an ever-deepening understanding of our true nature. With each step, the illusion of separation dissolves, revealing the oneness that binds all existence. Our journey towards God is thus a journey towards the self, a pilgrimage to the heart of our spiritual essence.

In this profound realization, we come to walk as God. This is not a claim of divine identity in the egoistic sense, but a recognition of our inherent divinity. To walk as God is to embody the qualities of compassion, love, and wisdom that are the hallmarks of the divine. It is to live in a state of nonduality, where the self and the other, the creator and the creation, are seen as one.

This journey is not a linear path but a spiral, where each cycle brings us closer to the core of our spiritual being. It is a journey without distance, for the divine is not a place to reach but a reality to realize. In this realization, we find that we have never been separate from God, for in God we live, move, and have our being.

In conclusion, our spiritual odyssey is a dance with the divine, a journey that takes us from God, through God, towards God, and ultimately reveals that we walk as God. It is a journey of awakening to the truth within us, a call to explore the depths of our divine nature.

The Theist’s Agnostic Dilemma

On the Quest for Nondual Spiritual Awakening

For as long as humans have looked up to the skies and pondered upon the nature of existence, the question of God’s existence has been a prominent query. Some vehemently assert the presence of divine power, some deny it with equal vigour, while others remain in a state of uncertainty. What’s interesting, however, is the subtle paradox that emerges when one deeply contemplates the nature of belief and knowledge concerning God.

At its core, to be a theist is to believe in the existence of God or gods. This belief often stems from religious teachings, personal experiences, or intuitive convictions. Yet, if we pause and dissect this ‘belief’, we can identify an underlying layer of agnosticism. Agnosticism, in essence, is the state of not being sure about the existence or non-existence of God. While it might seem counterintuitive, the argument can be made that every theist, at some level, is an agnostic.

The reason is simple: to believe is not the same as to know.

Belief is a conviction, a deeply held trust in something, often without empirical evidence. Knowledge, on the other hand, suggests a certainty, a definitive understanding. So, while a theist believes in God, can they truly say they know God exists, in the same way, they know the sun rises in the east?

This uncertainty, this inability to ‘know’ for sure, brings us to the concept of the Nondual spiritual awakening. Nonduality, as a spiritual tenet, postulates that there is no separation between the self and the universe, between man and God. In this awakened state, one doesn’t just believe in God; one realizes or experiences God’s presence in everything. It’s akin to a veil being lifted, revealing a world where the divine isn’t an external entity but is immanent and present in every facet of existence.

Until one reaches this state of Nondual realization, the existence of God remains a matter of faith and belief. The journey from belief to knowledge, in the spiritual sense, is what many spiritual seekers aim for. It’s a transformation from the intellectual to the experiential, from conceptual understanding to living realization.

In conclusion, the theist’s journey, while rooted in belief, inherently contains a quest for certain knowledge. It’s a paradox that every believer grapples with, consciously or unconsciously. While some are content with their faith, others embark on spiritual voyages to seek that elusive Nondual awakening. Whether you’re a believer, an atheist, or an agnostic, the quest for understanding the nature of God and our place in the cosmos is a deeply human endeavour, one that transcends labels and challenges us to think beyond the confines of our current understanding.
