Day 21 – The Mystery of Time Is the Mystery of Spirit

Timelessness is my deep awareness.
SANSKRIT MANTRA

Message of the Day
Today’s meditation explores the mystery of time and spirit. We learn that when we experience the wholeness of reality, we mysteriously integrate the temporary ever-changing world of time and space with the timeless, unchanging reality of present awareness. We know our core to be timeless while still living in and enjoying the world of time and space.
