The eternal self dwells in eternity, and et ernity intersects linear time at only one point: the present. Who you are in this moment, therefore, is who you truly are. And from that esse ntial point of perfect being―created anew by God in every instant―m iracles flow naturally. Thoughts of love interrupt the past and open the f uture to new probabilities. No matter who you are, no matter how o ld you are, in the present, all things are possible.
The physical self ages, of course, but the spiritual self does not. As we identify more with the spiritual di mension of our lives, then our experience begins to shift from the c hangeable to the changeless . . . from limitation to limitlessness . . . fr om fear to love. As our journey through linear time gets s horter, our consciousness can in fact expand. And as it does, time itself is affected. The deeper we go into the love of God, the more we act ualize our earthly potential.
The understanding of that which does no t change is the key to our power within a world that does. In aligning ours elves with the eternal self, we age not in a straight line leading from luscious youth to decrepit age, but rather like the flowering lotus openin g more and more to the light of the sun.
