Time-being definition
Time-being here means that time itself is being ... and all being is time. Time is not separate from you, and as you are present, time does not go away. Do not think that time merely flies away. Do not see flying away as the only function of time. If time merely flies away, you would be separated from time. The reason you do not clearly understand time-being is that you think of time as only passing... People only see time's coming and going, and do not thoroughly understand that time-being abides in each moment. Time-being has the quality of flowing... Because flowing is a quality of time, moments of past and present do not overlap or line up side by side. Do not think flowing is like wind and rain moving from east to west. The entire world is not unchangeable, is not immovable. It flows. Flowing is like spring. Spring with all its numerous aspects is called flowing. When spring flows there is nothing outside of spring.
