H. G. Wells Quotes

The future is keeping you out of the present time.

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.

Time past and time future allow but a little consciousness. To be conscious is not to be in time.

For the ego to survive, it must make time - past and future - more important than the present moment.

Now is all we have. Everything that has ever happened to you, and anything that is ever going to happen to you, is just a thought.

Life always is now, but the form the now takes changes continuously. Most people equate the form the now takes with the now itself, and so they believe there are many different moments.

Past and future are two aspects of the same coin. The name of the coin is mind.

The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future — which, of course, can only be experienced as the Now

There is neither past nor future. There is only the present. Yesterday was the present to you when you experienced it, and tomorrow will be also the present when you experience it. Therefore, experience takes place only in the present, and beyond experience nothing exists.

All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present.

Right now a moment of time is fleeting by! Capture its reality in paint! To do that we must put all else out of our minds. We must become that moment, make ourselves a sensitive recording plate...Give the image of what we actually see, forgetting everything that has been seen before our time.

Life is not made up of minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years, but of moments. You must experience each one before you can appreciate it.

It's proven that how time moves for you depends on where you are in the universe. It's relative to beings and other places. But on the level of being here on earth, if you are aware in a moment, one second can last a year. And if you are unaware, your whole childhood, your whole life can pass by in six seconds. But it’s also such a thing that you can get lost in.

There is no before. There is only now, and what comes next.

Life is available only in the present moment.

Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.

Thoughts are going by like a river; awareness simply is.

The time on either side of now stands fast.

Every second is of infinite value.

For it is only by forgetting that we ever really drop the thread of time and approach the experience of living in the present moment, so elusive in ordinary hours.

Waiting is a state of mind. Basically, it means that you want the future; you don't want the present. You don't want what you've got, and you want what you haven't got. With every kind of waiting, you unconsciously create inner conflict between your here and now, where you don't want to be, and the projected future, where you want to be. This greatly reduces the quality of your life by making you lose the present.

Awareness is the power that is concealed within the present moment. This is why we may also call it Presence.

Nothing has happened in the past; it happened in the Now. Nothing will ever happen in the future; it will happen in the Now.

When you live completely in each moment, without expecting anything, you have no idea of time.
