The Secret of Eternal Youth

Pretend that you just arrived here from another place. Pretend that you have no past and no future.

You just landed here.

Look around at the world with this fresh awareness, without judgement, or the usual jadedness and cynicism. See everything anew in each moment of just landing here, with no past and no future.

Notice how it feels to be in this expansive, generous, eternal NOW.

There is no time and space. These are illusions. The body might have gone 40 or 50 times around the sun, but the soul is eternal. Who you truly are never ages.

The more (outside of) time you spend in the NOW, the eternal present moment, the more you will halt the ageing process. So keep coming back to it, by pretending you just arrived here and have no past and no future as often as you remember to, until it becomes ingrained.

By not attaching to the past, by not identifying with it, mistakenly believing you are who you are because of it, you liberate yourself from it. Those stories we tell ourselves, about all the terrible, terrible things that have happened to us, are the stories we ourselves wrote for the character we are playing in this lifetime. They are not real. By letting go of the past, we let go of the same old ways of habitually seeing things. We let go of a story that only serves to depress us, whether that’s because things aren’t as good as they used to be, or because our back story is so tragic.

The past is a burden.

A lead weight. Let it go, and instantly become lighter, freer and younger.

Being in the NOW heals the past. The circumstances of it no longer matter. No longer ruled by it, at its mercy, following the script, we change it for the better. We jump timelines.

If ruminating over an unhappy past causes depression, projecting into an uncertain future causes anxiety. We tend to dream up worst case scenarios based on our terrible past. It creates stress, produces cortisol and ages us.

Come back to the present, the NOW, and stay here as much as possible. Nothing terrible is

happening right now. It is beautiful. It is a state of Grace, of meditation, deep peace and clarity. It is rejuvenating.

Of course, all this is easier said than done. Residing at all times in the NOW is true Awakening.

But it is a worthy practise to dedicate time to. It is worth getting good at. The better at it you are at staying present, the more you will age backwards. It’s the secret to eternal youth. Not that you will be concerned with such things as looking young anymore in your awakened state...
