Awareness of Time


In order to have complete awareness of time we need to go beyond it and experience eternity. When I see the limited world of action through the unlimited eyes of eternity, then I realize that there is neither beginning nor end there, but continuous change. Being in this awareness what could there be for me to expect or desire or to be afraid of or to worry about?

Worrying or caring...









Situation
Very often during the day 'Mrs. External Activity' distracts our attention and keeps us focused on the mistakes of others; we then keep trying to correct 'them'... 'for their own sake'... or for 'the sake of better cooperation'.

If only we just could turn within for 5 seconds and feel the disturbance of that worry in our hearts. (note: Miss Worry is the neglected daughter of Mrs External Activity)
Depending on our level of honesty we might find that this emotion is not really a caring one; pure feelings do not produce counterfeits and cannot cause upheaval.
Why is it that this effort to correct others brings upheaval...? What is the beneficial message that Miss Worry brings?
