Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

The destination of life is this eternal moment.

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

Time is an illusion. Time only exists when we think about the past and the future. Time doesn't exist in the present here and now.

There is not past, no future; everything flows in an eternal present.

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.

On the surface it seems that the present moment is only one of many, many moments. Each day of your life appears to consist of thousands of moments where different things happen. Yet if you look more deeply, is there not only one moment, ever? Is life ever not this moment? This one moment, now, is the only thing you can never escape from. The one constant factor in your life. No matter what happens. No matter how much your life changes. One thing is certain. Its always now. Since there is no escape from the now, why not welcome it, become friendly with it.

Life is like music for its own sake. We are living in an eternal now, and when we listen to music we are not listening to the past, we are not listening to the future, we are listening to an expanded present.

Every instant of time... is a pinprick of eternity.

The timeless moment. - The "moment" has no yesterday or tomorrow. It is not the result of thought and therefore has no time.

These are the days of the endless summer, these are the days, the time is now. There is no past, there's only future, there's only here, there's only now.

If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path.

Enlightenment is understanding that there is nowhere to go, nothing to do, and nobody you have to be except exactly who you're being right now.

find your eternity in each moment

The only way to survive eternity is to be able to appreciate each moment.

You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present.

Life always is now. Life is inseparable from now.

Ultimately, all moments are really one, therefore now is an eternity.

One realm we have never conquered: the pure present.

If you fall, the truth will set you free. And when your heart can see just one thing in this life, we'll set out on the journey.

It would take centuries and he must grow and grow and grow, but he was in no hurry--he grokked that Eternity and the ever-beautifully-changing Now were identical.

Eternity is not future or past. Eternity is a dimension of now.

There is only this now. It does not come from anywhere; it is not going anywhere. It is not permanent, but it is not impermanent. Though moving, it is always still. When we try to catch it, it seems to run away, and yet it is always here and there is no escape from it. And when we turn around to find the self which knows this moment, we find that it has vanished like the past.

From Mother you will inherit the belief that you can journey to your fate, there's a place to be located on a map that's destiny. If only you can get there. If it isn't too late. If no one stops you.

The present is the only thing that has no end.
