And would that serve any spiritual purpose?

Hi Bootz,
The present is but a moment, if at that. It comes from the future and immediately becomes the past.
So, in reality, the present does not exist because it was the future and became the past. The future we can not prove. Nor the past. So, do we exist? We can not put tomorrow behind us (in the past) as we have no proof of either. Spiritually, we exist, but on what plane? We construct time through the senses (the body), acknowledged by the mind, but it is only a construct. Might we in actuality not exist, but be only a figment of an Idea? Only the Spirit which means, breath, sustains us. This "breath" is Infinite and Perfect and is probably the only existence that we have. Go figure? A thoughtful question that you asked. Thanks!

All time is simultaneous. There is no tomorrow.....no past. It is an illusion. As your consciousness vibration increases, you may feel this to be true. That which is embedded in the density of matter perceives time as something that passes, comes and goes. We are light in a body. We are love, which is light in a body. Time has no meaning to one whose consciousness is unbound. One only needs to choose to expand in consciousness. All exists for us to experience, of all the realms, if we so choose.

Live in the present. Give your hundred percent to what you are doing at the moment. As someone said,
"yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift , that is why we call it the present"

Entering a coyotes den face first in order to survive one must abandon all hope. : )
Edit: Sorry `bout not giving you a star earlier, I thought I did but must have forgotten. Coyotes have no shortage of stars and can be witnessed as all those around me. : )

Yes it is with faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Satan will do all he can to make it very difficult, but as long as you are aware, yes it is possible.
It can only be spiritual if you allow it.

You don't need to "put" it behind you. It will do that on it's own in a couple of days...

Only when we can let yesterday die and realize that tomorrow doesn't exist, can we truly live. Now is all that exists and it's given no attention because we're so concerned with yesterday or tomorrow and our life goes unlived.
