Carlos Castaneda Quotes

The moment is all there is now. All there is is now. That's what God is, too. God is only now.

All eternity is in the moment.

Eternity is now. Right now, right here, you're an infinite being. Once you get past the fear of death as an end, you merge with the infinite and feel the comfort and relief that this realization brings.

If you move in the present moment, the whole eternity is in your hands.

The roses under my window make no reference to former roses or better ones; they are what they are; they exist with God today. There is no time to them. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence.

Every present moment will offer itself as a window onto eternity, a doorway to the infinite.

Eternity isn't some later time. Eternity isn't a long time. Eternity has nothing to do with time. Eternity is that dimension of here and now which thinking and time cuts out. This is it. And if you don't get it here, you won't get it anywhere. And the experience of eternity right here and now is the function of life.

Every moment contains a spark of eternity.

There is no beyond, there is only here, the infinitely small, infinitely great and utterly demanding present.

In the now, time ceases to exist and we experience a presence that is all-absorbing, completely at peace, and totally satisfying.

God isn't present in the past or future. The great 'I Am' is in the present moment. When I claim that presence, I can get through anything today.

I have all the time in the world. I am in touch with the timeless. I am surrounded by infinity. When I think like that, it doesn't mean I'm going to miss my train, it just means that I'm not thinking about it right now because I'm speaking to you.

If the present is really all we have, then the present lasts forever.

I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.

The destination of life is this eternal moment.

To live with God is to live always in the present, with him who is the eternal Now.

Almost certainly God is not in time. His life does not consist of moments one following another...Ten-thirty-- and every other moment from the beginning of the world--is always Present for Him. If you like to put it this way, He has all eternity in which to listen to the split second of prayer put up by a pilot as his plane crashes in flames.

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand.

All is love...All is love. With love comes understanding. With understanding comes patience. And then time stops. And everything is now.

All experience is now. Now never ends.

My bits of time play with eternity.

Where, except in the present, can the eternal be met?

Forget all your learnings - just remember that NOW is the moment that never ends

this present moment never comes to be and it never ceases to be, it is simply our minds that construct the continuity of thoughts we call time. In the present moment is nirvana.
