Yes, but only if you are aware of it (with or without the levels of consciousness).
The human mind has always had a difficult time with the very concept of Divinity. If it can dwell in the moment, right now and right here, it would be able to know how sacred this is.

Zen, I believe so. It's called adopting the consecrated lifestyle and mindset that is set apart from the world. We must be in the world but not of it, which translate to the fact that we are an expression of something much more then the matter or the image thereof tends to permit within our body-consciousness. It means that we are drawing upon our Inner Man, or Authentic Nature that is pure Light and Intellect. Such a nature is not of this world and drawing upon our higher nature is being apart from drawing upon elements that are transitory which makes us very transitory.
One can live life sacred and holy, in every moment, but it takes consciousness of self (and the divisions) and consciousness of laws that work upon the mind which makes us revert to mechanical reactions. It is possible if one is willing to do what it takes to achieve this blessedness, that you speak of. Trying without trying. In my opinion the objective is to enter the inner kingdom, inner mecca, inner promise land, inner Nirvana. Manifesting this indwelling kingdom while you live, you'll be heaven on earth, harmonious and this is the whole sum of what it means to "know thy self."
To add, moments are what you are to maintain. You are to maintain a holy moment, this is called consciousness. The moment is NOW, have to remain in the now.
Edit - going to watch the vid now. Shalom.
Edit again - lol I saw this movie before a while ago. haha. Decent movie.

I think every moment has that potential even if it's just because it won't repeat itself.
And i shouldn't wast it by sticking to past ones or worry with future ones, not even hold tight to the present one.
Receive it, experience it and let it go, dissolving that fraction of illusive time into the infinitude of simply being, discovering it's treasure, let it blossom.

It CAN be, when we stop fearing the future will repeat past pain, we wake in the eternal now and reconnect to the field of reality we share. Living in the now is a constant empowered creative state. When no part of the conditioned identity remains hidden, we become wholly authentic - holy - and are able to always see holistically.

Sorry I tried to watch it but for some reason I could barely hear it. But I believe so yes.....I strive to live that in my life. To See that every outcome is perfect....and yes every moment holy. Because this moment is all we have. Right now.

Wholly holy, holistically holy...Now and Now and Now and Now into infinity. It is Whole; it is Holy; it is Now. Where you are, who you are, when you are, how you are, why you are...perfection. I am wholly Sirius
P.S. I'd seen the video before, enjoyed. Just read other comments & see that NBM caught the wholly, holistic connection, too. Right on, friend. Meet you in the wholevator... I am only semi-Sirius

Ask the same question to God and he will answer affirmatively. Our perspective flickers like a star twinkling in the night - sometimes it's holy sometimes it's not.

Such a question!
That Coyote says yes - and, of course, he's right.
Boddhidarma, when asked about fundamental reality, said, "Vast emptiness - and nothing holy in it!" And, of course, he's right too.
If you realise that they're BOTH right and that there's no conflict, then you've got it.
If you think there's disagreement between them, then you've missed it by a million miles.
May I offer you some tea? Zen tea of course.

Eternity is a string of moments. Each moment can be sublime. It takes wisdom to recognize the importance of eternity.
Enjoy the here and now.
Peace be with you.

Jesus didn't want people to go about holier
than thou he came so we could have life and have it abundantly. And that includes
singing, and laughing, having a drink, and doing the highland fling if you want to. If you are kind, and do your best in this world, and have plenty of compassion and love your maker I think Jesus will be pleased with you.
