" 'Now-ness'
is the primordial, overreaching, all-powerful, unchangeable, and
absolute requirement to experiencing. It is the essence of awareness of
being and existence. It is impossible to exist anywhere at all except in
the drastic, radical reality of now. This instant is all there is.
One's own consciousness as Self is the only Eye by which anything can be
experienced or known. The inner sense of reality is bestowed by the
Self on the 'outer' surroundings, which is what makes them seem real.
The sense of realness is therefore a projection of consciousness by the
self, originating from the Self. One is therefore not the witness of a
'real' world; one is actually the source of its seeming reality. The
world is actually entertainment. Like amusement, it is meant to be worn
lightly. Heaven is within and is revealed by awareness. The world is
merely an appearance. Its melodrama is an artifice of the distorted
sense of perception. It leads one to think that the world is large,
powerful, and permanent and that the Self is small, weak, and
transitory; exactly the opposite is true."
~Dr. David R. Hawkins
