An 87-year-old lady, visiting her daughter, lay peacefully in bed when she suddenly heard the hum of the central heating. Her eyes widened in panic. "What is that sound?" she asked, alarmed. I reassured her it was just the heater. But to her, that sound was identical to the planes dropping bombs during World War II. Though decades had passed, in her mind, it was happening NOW.
This experience beautifully illustrates how the past can remain ever-present. In the Everlasting NOW, time becomes flexible—our past remains active in the present until the triggers tied to it are transformed.
What Is the Everlasting NOW?
NOW is not fixed—it can stretch across milliseconds, minutes, years, even lifetimes. How long NOW lasts depends on whether or not we've transformed the emotional and mental triggers from past events.
An unresolved event is always current—even if it happened 80 years ago, the feelings and reactions are as alive as ever. But here's the key: because it’s current, we can still do something about it. It's not merely a distant past we have no control over.
Transformation happens NOW—By connecting differently with our past experiences, we have the power to transform triggers in the present moment, freeing ourselves from their hold.
The Everlasting NOW shows us that the past and present are intertwined, and the opportunity for healing is always available in the NOW.
